Text description provided by the architects. Folding Garden is Located in Jiugong Town, Daxin District, Beijing. We were invited to design this community center for Poly Real Estate Group Co., Ltd which needs to be used as a pre-sales center at the very beginning. Jiugong’s full name is called "Xanadu of the old Yamen", which used to be the Summer Palace for Qing emperor’s hunting hobby, on the other hand, the Nanhaizi was the largest imperial garden and hunting ground in Northern China. We are trying to answer a difficult question through this "Gardening Attempt". The question is how to inherit the Chinese traditional royal building and at the same time make a smart translation from a huge Chinese garden system to a relatively compact space of our site.
