设计特色：

项目 - 在中国顺德的中心地带，云鹭湿地博物馆作为一个开创性的建筑干预项目脱颖而出，巧妙地平衡了人类观察与生态保护的需求。由Link-Arc建筑事务所设计的这座1800平方米的建筑，为野生动物观察建筑提供了革命性的方案，完美地融入了栖息着25000只鹭鸟的栖息地。

博物馆最引人注目的特征是由四个堆叠的混凝土筒体组成的结构，每个筒体都经过精确旋转，以获得周围湿地生态系统的最佳观察角度。这一创新设计在不同高度创造了建筑师所称的"取景框"，让访客能够从树根层次到树梢高度获得独特的自然视角。这些筒体战略性地位于现有的一排落羽杉林后面，使建筑从鹭岛观察时仿佛消失在亚热带森林中。

项目的起源故事为其增添了一层引人深思的意义——它始于26年前一位绰号"鸟叔"的本地环保主义者种植的一片竹林，他的奉献使这片区域转变为城市中的鹭鸟庇护所。博物馆现在作为这一传承的见证，随着当地政府将保护区面积扩大了13倍而愈发显得意义非凡。

使这座博物馆与众不同的是其精妙的结构解决方案。交叉的混凝土筒体通过布尔差分创造出一个三角形中庭，作为共同的观察点，访客可以同时观察到景观的多个视角。建筑外部采用松木模板现浇混凝土，创造出与周围森林呼应的自然纹理。最巧妙的是，屋顶覆盖着荷花池，有效地掩饰了建筑的第五立面，使其进一步融入湿地环境。

该项目通过对树木保护的细致关注展现了可持续建筑的典范。在对560棵现有树木进行测绘后，建筑师精心布置并旋转了每一层，以最大限度地减少对自然环境的影响，同时确保最佳的观鸟视角。这种对环境保护的深思熟虑为生态建筑设立了新标准，展示了建筑如何在服务人类需求的同时尊重并提升其自然环境。

团队 – Studio Link-Arc作为一家位于纽约的杰出国际建筑事务所，体现了全球设计思维与场地关联性的完美交汇。该事务所建立的宗旨是连接多元化的视角和资源，其名称本身就反映了在建筑设计、城市规划和空间艺术领域的协作精神。

在主持建筑师陆轶辰的带领下，与纽约区域的高级经理Letty Lau和Luis Ausin一起，并由上海和深圳的区域总监提供支持，事务所已发展成为一个多节点的设计强所。通过纽约、上海和深圳三个战略中心的运营，实现了东西方建筑范式的动态融合。

Link-Arc的项目组合涵盖了各种类型和规模，从文化机构到城市地标建筑。他们的设计方法论以严谨的场地环境研究和功能需求分析为特征，创造出超越纯粹功能性的有意义的空间体验。代表作品包括获奖的2015年米兰世博会中国馆、2022年亚洲建筑师协会金奖获得者南京湾艺术中心，以及华润档案馆。

事务所的建筑理念强调通过对场地关系和语境要素的精心考量来创造新的空间秩序。他们的作品以技术创新、文化敏感性和可持续实践的精妙整合为特色，使建筑能够深思熟虑地回应其直接环境和更广泛的社会需求。

Feature：

Project - In the heart of Shunde, China, the Cloud Egret Wetland Museum emerges as a groundbreaking architectural intervention that masterfully balances human observation with ecological preservation. Designed by Link-Arc Architecture, this 1,800-square-meter structure represents a revolutionary approach to wildlife observation architecture, seamlessly integrating into a habitat that hosts 25,000 egrets.

The museum's most striking feature is its composition of four stacked concrete tubes, each precisely rotated to capture optimal viewing angles of the surrounding wetland ecosystem. This innovative design creates what the architects call "viewing frames" at different heights, offering visitors a unique perspective of nature from root level to treetop. The tubes are strategically positioned behind an existing row of dawn redwood trees, allowing the building to virtually disappear into the subtropical forest when viewed from the egret island.

The project's origin story adds a compelling layer of significance – it began with a single bamboo grove planted 26 years ago by a local conservationist nicknamed "Bird Uncle," whose dedication transformed the area into an urban sanctuary for egrets. The museum now stands as a testament to this legacy, with the local government expanding the protected area thirteenfold.

What sets this museum apart is its sophisticated structural solution. The intersecting concrete tubes create a triangular central atrium through Boolean subtraction, serving as a shared viewpoint where visitors can simultaneously observe multiple perspectives of the landscape. The building's exterior features board-formed concrete using pine wood, creating a natural texture that resonates with the surrounding forest. Perhaps most ingeniously, the roof is covered with lotus pools, effectively camouflaging the building's fifth elevation and further integrating it into the wetland environment.

The project exemplifies sustainable architecture through its meticulous attention to tree preservation. After mapping 560 existing trees, the architects carefully positioned and rotated each level to minimize the impact on the natural environment while maximizing optimal bird-watching vantage points. This thoughtful approach to environmental stewardship sets a new standard for ecological architecture, demonstrating how buildings can serve human needs while respecting and enhancing their natural context.

Design Team - Studio Link-Arc, established in New York, stands as a distinguished international architectural practice that exemplifies the intersection of global design thinking and contextual sensitivity. Founded on the principle of connecting diverse perspectives and resources, the firm's name reflects its collaborative ethos in architectural design, urban planning, and spatial arts.

Under the leadership of Principal Architect Yichen Lu, together with Senior Managers Letty Lau and Luis Ausin in New York, and supported by regional directors in Shanghai and Shenzhen, the practice has evolved into a multi-nodal design powerhouse since its inception. The firm operates through three strategic hubs - New York, Shanghai, and Shenzhen - allowing for a dynamic synthesis of Eastern and Western architectural paradigms.

Link-Arc's portfolio spans various typologies and scales, from cultural institutions to civic landmarks. Their design methodology is characterized by a rigorous investigation of site context and programmatic elements, leading to architecture that transcends mere functionality to create meaningful spatial experiences. Notable projects include the award-winning China Pavilion at Milan Expo 2015, the Nanjing Bay Art Center (recipient of the 2022 Asian Architects Association Gold Award), and the China Resources Archive Library.

The practice's architectural philosophy emphasizes the creation of new spatial orders through careful consideration of site relationships and contextual elements. Their work is distinguished by a sophisticated integration of technical innovation, cultural sensitivity, and sustainable practices, resulting in buildings that respond thoughtfully to both their immediate environment and broader societal needs.
