This project takes an important role in Aijia China Anji white tea town. The biggest feature is that it will be a school in the tea garden. Surrounded by green plants, the base has rich natural resources and profound cultural heritage.

Q2 What are some preliminary thoughts on design?
Through the study of local characteristics, we put forward three key words: tea garden, bamboo forest and village. We hope that the organizational planning, space form and material application of the building should not only support the school operation, but also inherit the essence of Anji traditional culture. Through the study of local residential culture and space composition, the traditional bamboo and wood materials are interpreted in a modern way, and a campus like "growing" from a tea garden is designed.

Q3 What are the expectations and vision for this project?
We hope to show respect for the local natural environment, weaken the sense of boundary and disobey between architecture and nature through design, and create "a disappeared campus". We will think and explore more possibilities in school planning and architectural design with imagination and creativity, and help Aijia Group to build a poetic town.
