The Douban museum is located in Ande Town within the prime irrigation area of Dujiangyan, where traditional farming culture intersects with modern sauce production and echoes the organic texture of the Western Sichuan Linpan. The site is surrounded by woodlands and bamboo and dotted with farmhouses, giving it a strong ecological foundation. The landscape and nearby agricultural practices inform the museum’s context and program. Protecting the existing ecology became the guiding principle for the project, shaping layout, material choices, and conservation measures to preserve woodland, bamboo, and the region’s rural character.
