Introduction:
Anji Creative Design Center (ACDC) is a rural-based architecture and incubator that seeks to revitalize rural industries through creative design. Embracing the unique white tea culture of Anji County at its core gene, it blends harmoniously into the landform without compromising the local ecological context. Thick-walled, slender steel columns and glass curtain walls support vaulted roofs planted with white tea, which grows along the local landcape. This arrangement creates a captivating visual effect characterized by a gracefully soft silhouette and an ethereal ambiance. Additionally, the center incorporates Zen-inspired courtyards throughout its 7,800 sqm structure, allowing it to lie low in the natural landscape and harmonize with the surrounding undulating white tea mountain.
