Linow Hotel is located in Xi'an West Street, surrounded by the city walls, Muslim streets, bell and drum towers, and SKP. This is the representative place of Xi'an's humanities and culture, and the perfect starting point to explore and enjoy this ancient cultural capital. The city's long-established culture is closely linked to a lifestyle of outstanding personality. With due consideration for the quaint city walls and glass curtain wall, designer Huang Yongcai hopes that LINOW is a critical point that can creates a brand-new field to get rid of the limitation of history and presents a lighter and unruly connection between yesterday and today of Xi'an. Based on this, our design group extracted the elements of Xi'an life for deconstruction. The city wall is the background that people get along with day and night, and the loess high slope is from the color of the land, they are mixed in the details of daily life. The design is disassembled and reorganized in the method and material aspects. By innovating the materials, the old elements are endowed with a new language. In different spaces, various spatial experiences are achieved by creating a contrast between the old and new; relying on halos on the surface of materials, a cascading, transformable and psychedelic effect is so created as a response to the bottom color of soil
