Dongjiang Lake Visitor Centre
A lake-side visitor centre where the skin is also the signboard: a fish motif cut straight out of the aluminum panel layout, wrapped over a double-curved shell above the entrance canopy.

- The curve was developed from the architect’s surface model, then split into panels that still fit a standard truck bed.
- The fish motif crosses panel joints — it had to be nested before cutting, not applied afterwards.
- Panels were numbered by elevation; the second photo is the same run half installed, in the order it was packed.
