Snow World Ski Resort

Designed by Kenny Wang, Principal Architect of this project, in collaboration with Ming Design Studio, Snow World Ski Resort is the third scenic spot of the Tian Shan Baili Gallery Scenic Area with an altitude of 1500 meters to 1800 meters.

The architectural design of the scenic spot adopts the same design methodology as that of the tourist centre. While creating the uniqueness of Snow World, the design maintains the consistency of the design language for the entire scenic area.

The geological landforms of Tian Shan areas in Xinjiang province are continuous mountains, which are extremely spectacular and unique. As we believe that architectural design should respond to the natural environment, we extract powerful polyline elements from the mountain ranges and use them as architectural language to generate forms. 

The architectural forms are divided into multiple unit blocks to simulate the state of mutual extrusion during the movement of the earth’s crust. The architectural character is not only massive and sculptural but also has a strong sense of dynamics. Stone claddings are used for building facades to further consolidate the design concept, making the building forms sculptural.
