Known internationally for its hyper-detailed axonometries depicting everyday life scenarios, Drawing Architecture Studio (DAS) takes a step forward and for the first time experiments with the design of a public space. Some rooms of the Chenghua Party School, in the city of Chengdu, have been renovated through the use of images, applied to existing surfaces to generate colorful and immersive landscapes. The project is located on the top floor of an office building, featuring a vaulted, light and transparent roof and a gallery distribution, which leaves a large void in the middle. A wide design is superimposed on the surface of the central skylight, which illuminates the rooms on the lower floors, while a second illustration dialogues with the semi-circular shape of a wall. With these two large images, to which smaller ones are added, Drawing Architecture Studio tells the industrial history of the Chenghua district.
