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.
