Street mirror

Nanjing, China

"Han Shi waizhuan" said: "if you get a good one, you will prosper, and if you don't live up to it, you will die. Since ancient times and today, there is no one else. The husband has a clear mirror, so he reflects the form, and the past knows the present."

The mirror can reflect the form. Today's events are just like the ancient events in the mirror. Let's learn from the past. The ancients often borrowed ancient poems from the present. In Nanjing, the "capital of world literature", we imitate the ancients in poetry and apply the "ancient and modern" literary techniques to our architectural design. The inspiration of "street mirror" also comes from this.

"Street mirror" as it literally means, this is a building that can set off the bustling scene of the street. Using the principle of spherical mirror and road reflector, the ancient buildings, modern buildings, people and things in the streets near No. 1-3 Nanshi building are reflected on the surface of the building, forming an interesting, interactive and experiential building. In the process of reflection, ancient and contemporary appear at the same time, as if there was a blending of time and space. As the higher point of this area, the reflector will make the building shine and become the star of the review Street area
