This project is based on an open topic, which is brownfield restoration. However, the chosen direction ended up being air purification. During the selection process, it was discovered that the city has a serious smog problem. Due to skiing, there was a good understanding of the principles of snowmaking machines. It was found that the diameter of smog particles and the size of the condensation nuclei for snowmaking machines are similar. Therefore, it's entirely possible to use smog instead of the fine mist originally used for artificial snowmaking. This not only saves water resources but also consumes a certain amount of smog, achieving air purification. Additionally, it can reactivate previously abandoned areas by using ski resorts. The project site is very large. In order to preserve the existing public space and vegetation on the site, four huge tower buildings rise at the four corners of the site. The distance between the long sides of the towers is 300 meters. Each tower can also serve as an anchor point, connected by bridges with similar cable-stayed structures. At the top, a large steel truss structure is used to complete the "roof" of the large-span structure, and an artificial snowfield is suspended between the four towers using steel cables.
The relationship between the architecture and the site aims to activate the space with new uses while preserving as much public area as possible.
