LIYUAN MIDDLE SCHOOL CAFETERIA & RECREATION CENTER

This building is part of a group of buildings on a newly developed middle school campus. The site of the campus is divided by a river. A bridge and various platforms link buildings on the site. The Cafeteria and Recreation Center sits at the end of the linking element. Its shape mimics the effect of a force eroding a rock, and the cantilevered elements on elevation create a dramatic effect that echos the sporty functions of the building.
