这座小建筑是2014年青岛世界园艺博览会期间的万科展馆。它将用作自助餐厅，为它旁边的游戏区提供服务。咖啡厅采用半开放的形式，作为对室外游戏区的响应，这使得它更容易进入，同时也创造了一个内部的咖啡馆空间。除了普通的桌子和座位外，咖啡厅还提供面向游戏区的非正式座位，让人们在游戏休息期间享用咖啡。

This small building is the Vanke pavillion during the World Horticultural Exposition 2014 in Tsingdao. It will be used as a cafeteria serving the game area beside it. The café adopts a semi-open form as a respondence to the outdoor game area that makes it more accessible as well as creating an internal café space. Besides normal tables and seats, the café provides informal seats facing the game area that allow people to enjoy a coffee during game breaks.

四个双曲面屋顶由道格拉斯杉木柱和横梁支撑，展现了木结构的构造美，同时看上去也很轻，仿佛咖啡厅可以随风飞翔。一些墙壁是由建筑过程中产生的废木片制成的，在充分利用材料的同时创造出一种触觉。

Four hyperboloidal roofs are supported by Douglas fir columns and beams, presenting the tectonic beauty of wood construction, and at the same time look very light as if the café could fly with wind. Some of the walls are made of waste wood pieces produced during the construction to create a sense of tactility while making full use of material.

随着设计在人们如何使用空间和建筑形式，我们也试图贯彻环保和可持续的建设理念。与混凝土不同的是，树木在生长过程中吸收碳，使建筑成为最大程度的低碳建筑。木材建筑通常采用预制组件，这样就可以控制工厂条件，减少对现场劳动力的依赖，减少对环境的影响。作为临时建筑，大多数组件和材料都可以回收利用。事实上，万科计划在世博会后将这座建筑搬到他们的另一个项目中去。我们希望这家小咖啡馆能让人们感受到可持续木材建筑的美丽，同时也为他们提供一个放松的地方。

Along with design in the way how people use the space and architectural form, we also tried to carry out the idea of environment-friendly and sustainable construction. Different from concrete, trees absorb carbon during their growth that makes the building a low-carbon construction to the largest extent. Wood construction uses typically pre-fabricated assemblies so that it has the benefit of controlled factory conditions, less dependence on on-site labour and less impact on environment. As a temporary building, most assemblies and material can be recycled. Actually Vanke is planning to move the building into their other project after the Expo. We hope that this small café could allow people to sense the beauty of sustainable wood building while providing them a place to relax.
