A great piece of architecture

Suzhou Museum is one of the masterpieces of architecture in my opinion. It is designed by Ieoh Ming Pei, who also designed Louvre Pyramid. I have been there several years ago and he became my icon from then. The building combines ancient Chinese style with modern elements. It retains the romantic charm of calssical gardens in Suzhou but not like the traditional designs. It reminds me of the old-line towns in Jiangnan. In additon, the design also care about the unite with natural environment. I think the building should fit for its purpose and Suzhou Museum does. It really gives people an place feeling of history. The design of roofs maxmise the sunshine, which lets the building comfort to the nature. Even every tree and plant is elaborately picked to make it accord with the building.

The library is on the first floor of Uni Mall, so people can see students studying while passing by. At night, the light can radiate out from the slit of these different layers to lighten the uni. The pathway is the hub of the project.  From the meeting room, people can see the Round House, which is quite a broad horizon.  The workshop is set on the way between the center and the office.  This open space makes the area public, anyone can go through the rooms and watch students' works.  The lecture theater is at the center of the project as well. The circle is divided equally by the theater and 4 studios, the theater takes one-third of the whole to create the curved stairs for students to sit on.
