Designers from the Tsinghua University School of Architecture led by professor Weiguo Xu has designed a visitor centre in Xiahuayuan Village, China that opens and closes the three panels depending on the temperature outside. The project titled ‘Operable Interactive Village Hut’ has a system by which the walls close or open when the temperature drops below 16 degrees Celsius or rises above 29 degrees and simultaneously triggers either a heating coil system or air conditioning respectively. It consists of 16 prefabricated glass reinforced concrete panels that are attached to a steel-pipe frame. It houses a rough, earthy appearance by covering the panels with a cladding of rammed earth and grass. The village is now prepped for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
