The Tourist Centre by 3andwich Design and He Wei Studio is an architectural project that blends with its natural surroundings while also providing both practical and visually attractive features for visitors.
The Tourist Centre is located in a karst canyon of Dushan Town, Anlong County, Southwest Guizhou Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province in china(ArchDaily, 2017).
The buildings have glass walls that give a clear view on the canyon. This design enables visitors to view the landscape from inside the buildings which creates a connection between the built environment and nature. Inspired by this, in my design I included glass on the facade in order to allow the visitors to have a view on their surrounding especially on the forest on the east of the site

The design of the centre emphasises harmony between the buildings and the natural environment, as well as between the buildings themselves. An elevated platform serves as a functional and defined space that links the buildings while also preventing flooding (Block, 2017) . This platform improves communication between visitors and the outdoor environment by acting as a central gathering space.
The buildings are incorporated into the rock formations of the canyon, merging with the environment using local architectural forms and materials (Corradi, 2018). This integration makes the structures blend in harmony with their surroundings. In an attempt to make my building blend with the surrounding I decided to make a building with a green walls so that it can blend with the nature surrounding the site

Researching on the Tourist Centre of Anlong Limestone Resort helped me have a different architectural approach in how I can choose materials and consider their visual impact for my design. I now understand the importance of using materials that blend well with the surroundings in order to incorporate nature and sustainability into the external look of my design. The Centre's integration with its environment using local materials has inspired me to create a building that fit with its environment.
