Linfen Shooting Center / China Architecture Design & Research Group Inst.IV

Linfen Shooting Center is located north of the city of Linfen, Shanxi province, surrounded by lush greenery of natural field on the east bank of the fenhe river. The overall layout of this project follows a linear axis pointing east-west, thus stretching the main volume facing north. The contour line of the building is shaped to mimic the undulating silhouette of the distant mountain range which on one hand intends to establish an organic relationship with the site, while on the other hand responds to the functional demands inside. In addition, by wrapping all the accessory components， such as staircases，rooftop mechanical rooms and outdoor steps, etc. with an envelope of aluminum skin, we managed to unify our design language under one single and dominant grammar，which enhance the appearance and readability of the building.
