架构师提供的文本描述。位于太原市近郊著名的汾河畔的“河高亭”。作为山西省省会，太原是中国二线城市飞速发展的典范。江山亭建于一片典型的空地上，但却与低密度住宅的发展趋势相抗衡。这是一个位于郊区中心的城市项目。

Text description provided by the architects. The River Heights Pavilion is situated on the outskirts of Taiyuan along the edge of its famous Fen River. As the capital of Shanxi province, Taiyuan is an example of a second tier Chinese city developing at break neck speed. The River Heights Pavilion is built on a typical blank slate site, yet counters the trend of low density housing developments. It is an urban project located in the middle of suburbia.

在这种空旷的环境中，城市环境最有效地呈现在建筑物的内部，因为空间的组织是为了在各种活动之间提供独特的关系。例如，想象一下，站在大厅里观看一场表演，后面是一对懒洋洋的夫妇在院子里，而在上面，办公室工作人员离开他们的办公桌，在相邻的屋顶甲板上参加聚会。

Within this empty context, the urban environment is most effectively rendered within the building’s interior, as spaces are organized to afford unique relationships between various activities. For example, imagine standing in the lobby watching a performance, beyond which is a lounging couple in the courtyard, while above, office workers leave their desks to join a party in the adjoining roof deck.

河流高地展馆的设计由各种长度的线性块体组成，它们被复制和排列，以适应场地的边界。每个街区都有一个独特的规划元素，如展览、休息室和办公室。在形式上，块体在单层和双层高之间交替，而内部在凉爽和温暖的材料和完成之间交替。

The design of the River Heights Pavilion consists of linear blocks of varying lengths that are replicated and arranged to fit the boundaries of the site. Each block houses a unique programmatic element, such as exhibition, lounge, and office. In form, the blocks alternate between single and double story heights, while interiors alternate between cool and warm materials and finishes.

这个组织提供了两种完全不同的空间体验。俯视单个街区的长度，人们可以看到一个不间断地延伸到外部景观的统一空间的深度。相反，在90度转弯时，一个人的视野会通过离散的浅层空间对角穿行，显示各种活动水平和垂直并置。此外，还有一个通过内部，外部，内部和外部的看法再次堆叠。

This organization provides two completely different spatial experiences. Looking down the length of an individual block, one views the depth of a unified space extending uninterrupted to the exterior landscape. In contrast, turning 90 degrees, one’s view penetrates diagonally through discrete layers of shallow spaces that reveal various activities juxtaposed horizontally and vertically. Furthermore, there is a stacking of views through the interior, exterior, and interior and exterior again.

景观设计是这些线状地块的起伏延伸，每一条草带都是用球状钢隔开的。

The landscape design is an undulating extension of these linear blocks, each grassy strip separated by corten steel.
