"The Volcano-In Visitor Center by PLAT ASIA is conceived as an architectural intervention that develops in close relationship with its geological context. The project is based on the idea of co-growth between architecture and the volcanic cone, establishing a spatial dialogue with the surrounding steppe and emphasizing movement around the volcano as a primary experiential component. The building is designed to respond to environmental conditions while reinforcing the physical and perceptual connection between people and the volcanic landscape."
"PLAT ASIA completed the first phase of the Baiyinkulun Steppe & Volcano Tourism Resort in December 2025, which includes the Volcano-In Visitor Center and the Volcano-In Hotel of Arrivals. The project is located within a C-shaped extinct volcano formed approximately 150,000 years ago during the Pleistocene Epoch. It is part of the Baiyinkulun Steppe & Volcano Area, which contains 108 volcanoes and is situated approximately 380 kilometers north of Tian'anmen Square."
The Volcano-In Visitor Center by PLAT ASIA is conceived as an architectural intervention that develops in close relationship with its geological context. The design relies on co-growth between architecture and the volcanic cone, establishing a spatial dialogue with the surrounding steppe and emphasizing movement around the volcano as a primary experiential component. The building responds to environmental conditions while reinforcing physical and perceptual connections between people and the volcanic landscape. The project sits within a C-shaped extinct volcano in the Baiyinkulun Steppe & Volcano Area, adjacent to diverse ecosystems. The visitor center occupies previously disturbed ground to limit erosion and stabilize the terrain.
