Mesmerizing Chinese Countryside Photography
One thing I found amazing about some countries is the great amount of different lands inside the territory. Continental countries like Brazil, United States, Russia and of course, China, got a variety of great looking landscapes outside urban areas, like we show you here. Here are the works of some truly talented photographers that show us some mesmerizing Chinese countryside scenes. This is a definitely a specially beautiful country which I'd love to visit some day. For more of these pictures, please visit each photographer's page simply by clicking each image. I hope you enjoy these, and if you got your own Chinese countryside pictures, share it with us! Cheers. ;) qing yue David Michael Steverson Sunrise@dawn Chaluntorn Preeyasombat Joel Santos ingeun Nam MamZelle_Sweety Harrison Zhao Wilson Li Jacky CW ERIC Dhanus Samsen Woosra Kim Jacky CW Trey Ratcliff Michail Vorobyev Joel Santos Edwin Leung qing yue Sergey Kuznetsov sun xuhui Hai Thinh Jacky CW

Beautiful Houses: Holistic Health Club in Hangzhou, China
I have been doing the Beautiful Houses post for a while now, and I am also a big fan of architecture. And although I browse architecture related sites looking for inspiring houses, every single day I get impressed with new architectural master pieces.Today we will show you the beautiful Holistic Health Club, a project by Crox International. The shapes, wood, colours, and the style of the house create a modern and relaxed place for meditation and comfort.Description from the architects:We often experience nature’s beauty from afar? generally from our comfort zones. A subtle separation can create the safety we need, and from a place of peace, we can then enjoy and ponder the wonders and beauties of nature. The layout was configured through the use of flexible thresholds, i.e. curtains and movable mirrors, to create an open environment that can be utilized freely as well as closed for exclusive workshops. The light that reflects inwards derives from the sunlit courtyard outside, it dances around the atmosphere, spreading light and shadow throughout One Taste.Check out Crox International website for further inspiring projects.We found this house at Contemporist.

Amazing Dalian Child School in China
This is a really special project. A school for children developed with an amazing care both in aesthetic appeal as the internal planning, and of course the main function that deserves our full attention, offering to the childrens a unique learning and consequently grow as individuals. Located in China, Dalian is a school project by Debbas Architecture. In this project what attracted our attention is mainly is the arrangement of buildings, the architects have created several blocks rotated thinking of a better use of solar in all the environments. In this program we have spaces such as classrooms, sleeping rooms, bathrooms with showers, kitchen and dining area, ballet and music rooms, reading area and, of course, an outdoor area with a large playground for kids. They deserve it! © Shu He Photographer © Shu He Photographer © Shu He Photographer © Shu He Photographer © Shu He Photographer © Shu He Photographer © Shu He Photographer © Shu He Photographer © Shu He Photographer Overall, our concept was to create a fluid and spiritual environment distant from the more mechanistic, rigid and prosaic late-modern designs that have come before it. We want to allow the architecture to invigorate a child’s sense of wonder and generate unique memories without resorting to theatrical stage design or applied nostalgic detailing. © Shu He Photographer © Shu He Photographer © Shu He Photographer © Shu He Photographer © Shu He Photographer © Shu He Photographer © Shu He Photographer © Shu He Photographer © Shu He Photographer
Tianjin Elementary School, in China
The simple shapes and the composition of blocks unseated mark the architecture of County Elementary School, by the chineses Vector Architects. A unique architectural design, abusing the contrast of colors and the use of light and imposing lines. The school has 48 classrooms, cafeteria, gymnasium, sports area, administration area and has a beautiful outdoor area for sports. The mixture of metal with the red block, and large tears of glass made a perfect combination, making me think about how easy it to make architecture, just because what simple and beautiful that was the end result. In the mockups and drafts we also note the evolution of design and get a better sense of the whole building. Our goal is to establish a unique place within the school that encourages interaction between the students and teachers through their daily learning and teaching life. - Vector Architects © ShuHe © ShuHe © ShuHe © ShuHe © ShuHe © ShuHe © ShuHe A series of green technologies are proposed in this project, such as geothermal system, storm water management, green roof, permeable landscape, passive ventilation, maximized natural daylight, recycled material and etc. - Vector Architects © ShuHe © ShuHe © ShuHe © ShuHe © ShuHe © ShuHe © ShuHe
