Overlooking the site area, the meandering water network and rugged land-forms jointly form a typical Chinese water town texture. The project adopts a landscape design strategy to create a flowing counterpoint of architectural form and landscape, echoing the geographical features of Shaoxing's water town. As geometric control can be considered a technical response to architectural form, the architects draw the outline of the above ground building using straight lines and tangent arcs based on the grid of the underground garage, creating a seemingly random, yet rational geometric form.
