cascading folding roof of GLA design’s community center in china echoes mountain contours

Wencheng Forest Oxygen Bar Town Parlor is a model of integrating architecture with its environment. It uses traditional and modern techniques to create a structure that evolves with nature and human traditions. This project, designed as a town showcase, blends exhibition, reception, conference, and tourism services. The building’s cascading, folded roof mirrors local residential forms, harmonizing with traditional Chinese architecture through tiles, masonry walls, and wood-like structures. Its design, tree-like bracing structures, and a diamond-shaped frame system evoke a forest canopy, blending seamlessly with the natural hillside.
