Ark Activity Centre, Ulanqab, by Buro Ziyu Zhuang
Buro Ziyu Zhuang describes its new landmark in Ulanqab as appearing like “an alien craft fell from space”. The Ark Activity Centre’s sloping form contrasts with the vast flatland of the site.
A series of openings on the surface of the building, as well as an open viewing platform on the roof, will offer visitors a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape.

"This sofa's eighteen cushions are attached to an exposed frame in a radical rethinking of the traditional upholstered sofa. The cushions can be detached for easy cleaning or 'interchanged to equalize wear.'"
