Object	Form making and scale	Local materials and nature of enclosing surfaces	Traditional technologies	→	Religious teachings, cultural traditions
Ningbo Historic Museum	– cracks in a monolithic form that resemble surrounding mountains; – enlarged scale providing communication with surrounding landscape;	– brick and tile from villages destroyed in this place; – bamboo for formwork;	– local “wapan” technology based on the use of building materials from destroyed buildings;	→	– resource saving as a traditional virtue;
Xinjin Zhi Museum in Chengdu	– spiral shape organizing upward movement;	– tiles made according to traditional technology; – use of natural water surface near the building;	– traditional technology of roof tiles production;	→	– clear stagnant water, in Buddhism symbolizes contemplative perception;
Folk-art galleries for China Academy of Arts	– resembles the relief of a hill on which the building is located; – a block model with individual pitched roofs interprets traditional village; – a scale of rural buildings;	– local tiles from destroyed old buildings;		→	– relationship with environment, unity with nature that corresponds to Taoism;
Museum of Handcraft Paper	– broken roof shapes that are identical to surrounding hilly area; – space-planning solution interprets traditional rural house; – scale of rural buildings;	– local materials: wood, bamboo, handmade paper, volcanic stone;	– the system of wooden structures traditional for this region;	→	– relationship with environment, unity with nature that corresponds to Taoism;
My Xin Art Museum in Wuzhen	– parallel epipeds interconnected in sections remind city blocks; – the scale is coordinated with the nature of historical urban area;	– texture of wooden boards on a concrete surface;	– a traditional way of buildings' location on the water;	→	– in Buddhism water surface near the building personifies eternal flow of material world, and its transparency symbolizes contemplative perception;
