The Mist
Supervisor: Alisa Andrasek
The project is a public structure and part of the landscape of the wetland park in Shenyang nearby the Hun River with a labyrinthine interior space which aims to provide a unique user experience while propagates the culture of the mother river and showcase the ecological system of the riverside.
The building itself borrows the natural hydraulic power of the Hun River to form a special indoor ecological garden, and the meandering stream that flows through underground also guides the visitor to explore the space. The organic pattern on top of the building uses a solar energy collection system and brings an idiosyncratic light and shadow experience. The Tyndall effect happens between the humid underground water vapor cloud, and the natural warm light from the top makes the user feel like living in a fairyland above the clouds, intricate and meditative.
