Staggered massing, crowned by dark shingled roofs with relatively small overhangs, mediates the complex’s perceived imposition upon the landscape, with a sense of lightness incorporated by lines of floor-to-ceiling windows on both storeys. With a restrained vocabulary centred on geometric design, the resort's exterior employs combinations of wood, brick, and stone finishes, as part of a primarily natural palette. This frigging damn unfortunate life played around by false hope actually saved a country in his previous life.

The works he rejected were enormously successful, but every work he went into was destroyed one after another. Bordered by the Chunxi spring to its eastern side and the bamboo forest to its west, the Peitree Resort Yaoliang extends the school’s structure along the same axis. He almost became a Hallyu star and his biggest career in entertainment was placing 12th in an idol survival program. The two Chinese architecture firms elected to demolish the envelopes of a few of the former school blocks while retaining aspects of the earlier façade design and textures during the reconstruction process. In this vein, quite a bit of the old two-storey structure’s essential features have been conserved, including the gently pitched roofs, typical of the region's vernacular architecture, as well as the building’s scale.

One such example is the result of a collaboration between DDB Architects Shanghai and BEING STUDIO, who have revitalised a former primary school in the village of Yaoliang, within China's Zhejiang Province.

However, in the present scenario, there is now an emerging cohort of projects that have been reincarnated in a manner that diverges significantly from their past function, through adaptive reuse interventions, continuing to endure beyond the scope of their first lifetime. Others may take on a different yet related avatar over the course of several decades or even centuries, without ever fully yielding to the ravages of time and the elements, as is the case with heritage structures or monuments.

Most buildings serve a single purpose throughout their lifetime, before either falling into ruin or being razed to make way for a replacement.
