Agricultural products exhibition for supporting rural industries revitalization
2021 opens a new chapter of China’s Rural Revitalization Initiative. As industries take the lead in rural revitalization, quality agricultural products and better ways of displaying them are essential. This is quite true for Houyanmen Village in Huanfeng Town, Xiuwu County. The Yuntai Ice Chrysanthemum Industry Park in the village needed an exhibition space to display its ice chrysanthemum (a species of medicinal chrysanthemum) products, and the operator thought that what products display needed was just a place with a moderate size. Therefore, they commissioned a familiar steel structure manufacturer to construct a space with portal steel frames at a very fast speed, for serving product display and livestreaming selling activities. Such portal steel frames replicated the structures of other plants in the industry park. The operator thought that the space was ready for use once furniture pieces were set in.

The transition from the ground, grading the reading scales, minimises the verticality of the building and softens the relationship with the environment.

Nestled in the junction of the Sierra de San Andrés, Veracruz and a few meters from the shore of the sea in the Gulf of Mexico, the house on the edge seeks to prioritize the views and the environment as an initial design phase, opening towards the natural landscape, within a living space of 140 m2.
