Yuanmen Primary School Renovation / JiuQiHuaXia Atelier KAI + SILOxDESIGN

Crossing the bustle of the ancient town "Pian Yan". Marching the paths in the forest alone the Heishuitan river. This path is upstream to Jindaoxia reservoir and downstream to Pianyan town even to the main districts of Chongqing city. Turning one more corner, the first thing that comes to my eyes is an ancient stone arch bridge. Wander down the bridge and through the temple, you can see this abandoned building accompanied by several ancient Ficus virens.
