这是Scenic Architecture设计的Huaxin商务中心，该设计位于桂林路西边。在它的南边有一块绿地，这块绿地上种着6棵古老的樟脑树，绿地边上就是城市主干道。该设计的两个战略之一就是最大化地开发这块绿地，因此主要的建筑都在二楼，另一个就是尽可能地保护这6棵古树。
该建筑是由四个独立的悬浮结构组成的，这四个结构由桥梁连接着，这些结构都被不锈钢板和混凝土墙包围着。一楼有一个透明玻璃覆盖的中庭，在里面可以看到外面的风景，阳光也能透过天窗照进屋里。
通过中庭的楼梯来到二楼，就是一个全新的空间序列。6棵古树之间有4座Y型和L型的建筑，这4座建筑的墙壁是由铝条建成的。当走过这些透明墙壁的时候，游客会看到不同的景观，有庭院和桥梁以及地上的落叶和树枝。
在这个商务中心里，时间和空间是相互影响的，所以可以这么说：该设计是建筑和自然的协调。21世纪的建筑不仅要满足人类的需要，而且还要成为人类和环境的媒介。未来建筑的基本目标就是在人类，自然和社会之间建立平衡。

I expect that this building could enlighten us to think the relevance among human, nature and society. Huaxin office complex locates to the west of Guilin road, with a green land at the south of its entry. This green land owns 6 old camphor trees and opens to the urban main road — these two facts become the starting point of the design, and hence to lead to two basic strategies of the business center: One is to elevate the main body of building up to second floor in order to maximize the open green space on the ground; Second is to establish an intimate and interactive relationship with 6 trees while protecting them in the site.
The completed building is composed by four independently suspended structures that are linked by bridges. 10 pieces of combined steel and concrete walls support the upper structures, they are all covered by reflective stainless steel panels, which contain all the vertical ducts and reflect the surrounding green environment. These walls are thus cleared up and help the suspension effect of the upper volumes. A ground floor atrium is enclosed by transparent glasses in-between three structures. It introduces sceneries and natural light by all-around transparency and skylight, and makes the spatial interaction between inside and outside.
Approaching second floor through the stair in the atrium, a new spatial order will be unfolded along the path. Four suspended volumes that were realized by steel trusses stretch themselves horizontally with “Y” or “L” shapes among the old trees. The twisted and tensioned aluminum strips assembled the translucent walls of these volumes, which present the truss structure in an indistinct way and become containers and boundaries of a series of interior and exterior spaces. When wandering across these translucent walls, the visitor will alternatively encounter rooms, courtyards, bridges and different sceneries guided by them. The branches and leafs of the trees traverse the building freely and become touchable friends.
Here the structure, its adherent material, and the branches and leafs of trees interweave together to present atmosphere of each space. It is under the organization of time(or path) that these spaces(room and courtyard) realize an environmental experience where time and space interact. It is a work collaborated by both architecture and nature。
We might never expect kind feedbacks from nature unless we treat nature in a kind and positive way. The architecture of 21st century shall not only respond to human’s needs, but also act as a positive media between human and environment. The essential goal of future architecture is to establish balanced and dynamic relevance among human, nature and society.
