the heritage of the Western Hills, which presents a
new definition of a contemporary Chinese metropolis.

hearth and shelter. Walking around the hearth beneath the
shelter is a daily ritual in life. The same ritual exists

sacred path surrounding subjects for worship. Faith and
ritual are crucial to a house. Similar to the origin of

allows the visitor to experience the Western Hills in a
new way that the landscape evolves around architecture
