organically combine the natural elements of light, scenery, and wind,
allowing people to perceive and coexist with the surrounding natural
environment while they are in the building.

Meanwhile, the building design reveres the existing ecological
environment and uses materials and means such as Low-E glass,
local wood, and green roofs to reduce building energy consumption
and achieve sustainable construction. The exhibition hall serves as an
important part for linking and integrating the surrounding ecological
forest.

In terms of space planning, the designer has reserved the most flexible
space for exhibition and display. The staggered height of the building
allows visitors to stand at different heights and view different scenery,
creating a “walk in the woods” mood and a unique experience.

The interior of the building is a flowing space shaped by 10 circular
walls of different sizes, which are divided into three levels of elevation
in accordance with the terrain, rising from the entrance hall to the
interior space step by step, with two circular skylights in the entrance
hall and the central exhibition hall to guide visitors from the entrance
hall to the main exhibition hall. The ceiling is controlled at the same
level, and the height of the space is richly varied. Except for the round
solid wall, the interior and exterior boundaries are all glass, fully
incorporating the outdoor landscape into the interior and the natural
landscape as part of the exhibition in the form of framed scenery.
