Meteorological Center
Public Amenity:
Institutional Buildings
Architect:
Ping Jiang
Location:
Tibet, China
Located in a canyon and surrounded by mountain ranges and dense forests, the project
site affords a clear view of Namcha Barwa in the distance, while being integrated with the
well-preserved natural surroundings. The architect utilized “remote intervention” as a
communication principle and collaborated with the local construction team. The design is
aimed at reinventing the existing site as a multifunctional environment that accommodates
both working and living facilities for the new meteorological center and provides new civic
infrastructure and a gathering place to serve the community. Maintaining a modest presence
on the site, the building blends into the milieu, fostering sensitive interactions with the
surrounding environment without attracting too much attention.
JURY CITATION: The project combined the functions of a meteorological center as well as
a living space serving the community with infrastructure. The form of the building adopted
some of the elements of Tibet traditional architecture while interpreted them in a modern way,
nicely blending into the context and texture of the existing town.
