Wutopia Lab creates dreamlike minimalist forest in Huzhou

A three-petal motif is repeated as canopies, skylights and screen perforations across this ethereal landscape by Wutopia Lab, located outside a sales office in Huzhou, China.

The temporary White Upland project spans 3,296 square metres of land beside a sales centre for the Shanghai Huijian Investment Co in Zhejiang province, west of Wutopia Lab's home city Shanghai.

The White Upland temporary landscape occupies a lot beside a sales centre

Studio founder, architect Yu Ting, used this opportunity to create an "anti-generic" space that could act as "a communal place; a surreal garden where people around this neighbourhood, as well as people from Huzhou, could come to enjoy".

The scheme is split into two main sections – one circular and one pill-shaped in plan – both surrounded by 529 evenly spaced, six-metre-high white steel posts topped with lights. Where the shapes overlap, a perforated pavilion rises from their outlines, dividing the two areas.

The architects intended to create an "anti-generic" landscape for visitors to enjoy

On the route from the entrance to the main building, visitors are encouraged to meander past or through a series of spatial experiences.

"In White Upland, you can shrink like Alice in Wonderland," said Wutopia Lab's project description.

The sequence of spaces begins in the Ink Garden

This journey begins in the Ink Garden, contained within the circular area that is planted with 16 Japanese maple trees.

The space revolves around a black mirror pool built into the centre of a low mound, flanked by 50 tons of dark rocks arranged in a pattern around the reflective surface.

An aluminium pavilion is perforated with a three-petal motif that recurs throughout the project

A large opening coaxes people into the adjacent metal pavilion, formed from aluminium panels that are coated white across the exterior and bright blue inside. The sheets are perforated with the recurring three-petal shape, spaced at various intervals across the surfaces.

Four huge holes of the same shape are punched through the roof, casting distinctive shadows onto the walls.

The pavilion divides the Ink Garden and the larger outdoor space on the other side

On the other side the room opens onto the larger pill-shaped area, which is almost entirely white and contains "trees" with three-petal tops. Installed with various heights and sizes, they form a canopy over the remainder of the path, reminiscent of a minimalist woodland.

Features named Fragrant Garden and Birds' Call create sensorial stimulation for those who pass by, weaving between raised stone platforms and the "trees".

Mist heightens the dreamlike quality of the experience

They then reach the Theatre in the Woods, which is located beneath a timber-topped structure and provides a sheltered space for events and performances.

Adding to the ethereal quality of the all-white landscape, the Mist Garden periodically pumps out water vapour to envelop the architectural elements in clouds.

Water fountains are installed to encourage play

At the project's centre, a circle dotted with 117 upward water jets creates the Fountain area, offering illuminated aqueous displays.

The fountains are based on those at Shanghai's Jing'an Kerry Center, which the chief architect admires because they encourage gathering and play.

The carbon-fibre Bonfire was woven by robotic arms

One of the only non-white features in the landscape is the Bonfire. Lifted on a pedestal of circular steps, this red and black cone was woven by robotic arms using 5,954 metres of fluorescent carbon fibre, creating a warped mesh that is intended to evoke flames.

A white carousel is the final feature reached on the journey through the landscape

Finally, just before the entrance to the sales centre is the Carousel, where ornamental horses ride in circles under a roof of white balls.

The sales centre building remains untouched, but is hidden by Wutopia Lab's installation, which completed in August 2020.

Lights top the steel posts that surround the project's perimeter

The firm has also recently finished a foreign language bookstore in Wuhan and a children's cafe in Dalian.

Jiashan Museum & Library in Zhejiang

15 Jun 2021

Jiashan Museum & Library

Architects: The Architectural Design & Research Institute of Zhejiang University

Location: Jiashan, Zhejiang, China

Jiashan Museum & Library is a cultural complex, which is intended to offer local citizens a public cultural activity venue and to greatly enhance the cultural vitality of the county.

With a limited plot area, the project lacks space to accommodate a large-capacity outdoor public activity venue. The site is adjacent to an open urban landscape space, which is under planning but the construction has been postponed. Therefore, the architects had to explore and conceive architectural spaces within the plot.

Based on site conditions, the architects took the open void at the middle as the core, and combined three architectural volumes around it to enclose a square for the crowd, which is also an outdoor extension of the foyers of the library and museum.

The square provides resting space for citizens, while also connecting the museum and library. Moreover, it serves diversified public activities such as outdoor exhibition, pop-up book market, etc., fully embodying the functions and image of an urban “knowledge hall and cultural living room”.

The three building volumes are arranged at appropriate positions according to their respective functions. The museum is set at the southeast corner and near an intersection. It has a closed facade, which shows a clean, neat and iconic image.

The library sits on the north side and faces the river. It boasts ample daylighting on north and sides, and the museum isolates it from the noisy urban road. The building volume at southwest corner and close to the open urban landscape area accommodates shared ancillary facilities for the museum and library, including lecture hall, casual dining area, etc.

The design draws inspiration from local cultural context. Jiashan is located in the north of Zhejiang Province, and adjoins Shanghai and Jiangsu. It features a dense water network and developed shipping industry. In Ming and Qing dynasties, Jiashan was known as the “Country of a Thousand Kilns”, because the kiln industry in the county back then was prosperous and most of its bricks were produced for imperial palaces. The form of the square takes design cues from local brick kilns. It’s an abstract yet modern “brick kiln” space, which reflects a meaningful attempt to extend building boundaries. Meanwhile, it blurs the boundary between interior and outside, openness and privacy.

The architecture has a smooth and simple appearance, which is complemented by large areas of flat and light-hued stone curtain walls and characterized by texture contrast. Inner facades draw on the stacked structures of brick kilns, and form brick-red curved surfaces. The strong contrast of external and inner facades implies the idea that the unexpected and spectacular is hidden in a plain shell. The whole architecture is like a natural jade that reveals brilliance after being cut open. It’s also like a city that collects culture and treasure, which echoes the design theme “Book Repository and Treasure Kiln”.
