american firm yazdani studio have designed ‘villa I’ for the ordos 100 project.

‘villa I’ uses the notion of circulation for both the individuals and the building – there are multiple, indirect paths which loop through the building. along these paths there are a series of arranged social spaces, each offering views of nature.

the northern face of the villa is a single vertical rectangle; the shape and proportion of a door. the southern face is two overlapping horizontal rectangles; two giant windows. tying back to the idea of circulation, the movement throughout the building activates this transformation.
