Art Center of Aranya / Atelier Archmixing

Conversation between the Building and the Site. The art center in the mountain locates on a ridge line. It stands beside a winding path that starts from the foot of the mountain. It connects the typical boundless northern mountains, also the community in the valley on the other side of the ridge line. When residents or visitors go up along the winding path, this art center will greet them first. Its east and south sides face the mountain road below it and enjoy a view of the continuous mountains. Its north side oversees the villas spreading down along the hillside. Its west side is next to the community and acts as an end of the street. Due to this special location, the art center is both an entrance landmark and a hub for the community.
