Shui Cultural Center

The project is situated in the heart of the Shui ethnic settlement, deeply rooted in ancient ritual traditions and their unique logographic system. The morphogenesis of the architecture stems from a profound translation of Shui cultural symbols, aiming to transform tribal spiritual totems into a contemporary spatial narrative.

Consisting of three juxtaposed linear volumes, the design constructs a hybrid tectonic system by abstracting the geometry of traditional bronze drums and the pictograph for "rain." The dramatic interplay of light and shadow through perforated steel plates permeates the modular concrete structure, allowing specific cultural exhibitions to interweave with flexible daily public activities.

Here, the tectonic logic rooted in regional tradition engages in a dialogue with modern construction systems, collectively shaping a public cultural space that is both ritually profound and functionally operative.
