Architecture is not a simple sum of functions, forms, etc., but an organic whole combined with time, place and users. Through design, architects should create buildings and landscapes that are in line with current design ideas, construction techniques and materials, adapt to local culture and geographical environment, and people’s activity patterns, and interpret the connotation of design in the construction process. The idea of “Relevance Design” runs through the design research of Ni Yang atelier and we hope to create a better city and architecture.

Xiqing Guangda Waste-to-energy Plant is located in Xiqing District, Tianjin, on the south side of Xingyao Wuzhou Tourist Resort, on the northwest side of Tianjin Zhongtang Industrial Zone, and on the west side of the site is the Hongni River.

The design uses the design language of linear flow to eliminate the cold and heavy industrial feeling of industrial buildings, and the design intention of “moving clouds” and “flowing water” also adds lightness and agility to the Waste-to-energy Plant. The clean white volume, flowing curves and simple and powerful façade opening lines have become a touch of scenery in the outer suburbs of Tianjin.
