Big Red Crayfish
Bronze Prize in Architectural design
Dayi Design always adheres to the design philosophy of form serving function. The design of the staircase is not just a superficial "visual plugin". In addition to its function of connecting spaces, it also supplements the necessary fire escape function in ancient architecture. In practical applications, the cloud ladder forms a cover on the first floor, solving the problem of delivering vegetables in rainy and snowy weather, and also providing shade and shelter for guests coming and going. In addition, the staircase platform here invisibly unlocks a new viewing spot not far from Dabao'en Temple, maximizing the unique geographical advantages and providing visitors with an unexpected viewing experience. In terms of design aesthetics, we adopt a fusion of modern materials and classical styles, using materials such as metal and glass to create classic shapes for pavilions and buildings. The lines are simplified and decorated with "cyber national style" elements, combining diverse national aesthetics. The distant atmosphere, current feelings, and future imagination interweave and overlap in the fine seams of the building, giving historical space richer connotations and more jumping possibilities.
