Getu Climbing Gymnasium of Ziyun - Twin Arch Timber Structure Salute to the Mountains

Yike Architects·Guizhou, China

This project locates near the Getu River Scenic Area, which is a world-famous rock-climbing destination with many fantastic limestone cliff and huge karst caves. This project is to reconstruct the original rock-climbing reception center and transform it into a climbing gymnasium for international competition and training. The challenge for design comes from how the architect can make the balance with the scenic surrounding, as well as bring out the best of each other. The main body of the building adopts juxtaposed arch timber structure, which not only meets the requirement of high space for rock-climbing, but a metaphor and representation of the Getu karst caves landscape nearby.
