Baisha is an idyllic rural village with Naxi traditional houses. The wall of old houses is made by local Wuhua-stones, and we can see Snow Mountain nearby. We set the randomly stacked stone volumes to make platforms for the view of snow mountain and village. While the roofs are regularly arranged to harmonize with village. As a result the lightness of timber and the heaviness of stone form a sharp contrast. For memories we initiatively overlay new and old times and spaces in this architecture.
