“I would like to humanize the space age by giving a perspective from a non-astronaut, because I think the students will look at that and say, ‘This is an ordinary person. This ordinary person is contributing to history.’”

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.

All three pictures show the scale of the Lucile Halsell Conservatory, the last two showing the scale and the interior. It is important to see how grand the conservatory truly is and how small the people are in comparison to the massive structures. Even next to the plants, the visitors look negligible proving that the buildings needed to be grand not only for a design aspect but because physically the function required it so the plants could grow and expand as needed.
