"Born from land", "Compare people with architecture" -- using the elements of Lanzhou regional architecture and plain, tough and thick style, this paper expounds the Yellow River Spirit of "perseverance, perseverance and nine twists and turns". Referring to the layout of "quadrangles" in Lanzhou folk houses, a smaller courtyard is embedded to break the overall sense of massiness and form an inner courtyard. The simple and strong building volume is used for stacking, and the facade is concise without cumbersome decoration. Give full play to the potential of the building and have a natural dialogue with the north and east sides of the base. The material is made of local stone and Low-E glass with low reflection and high light transmittance, combining the old with the new.
