The art book depicts Hui-style architecture, the unique ancient architectural school, and a fading heritage in China that verifies the cultural integration dated back millennia. Each page showcases comprehensive yet digestible information and when overlaid, they transform into a delicate 3D Hui-style panorama to attract a broader audience, unveiling not only architectural details with spatial reference and proportionality but also the misty Hui regional culture landscape.

This project explores iconic Hui-style architecture's axial symmetry layout and section expansion in depth, which is presented by intricate front views but a uniform side view. So when stacked, the "windows" as depth-layered illustrations with spatial references showing an immersive miniature Hui house, which creates a 3D learning journey, a unique educational and exhibitive tool for preserving and understanding architectural heritage.

Through Historic Building Information Modeling (HBIM), including 3D scanning, texture capturing for patterns of wood, stone, and brick carvings of authentic ancient Huizhou residences, depth-layered 2D images are sliced from digital models, and printed onto acetate fiber papers to enhance the visual depth and clarity, forming interactive "windows" with proportions of Hui-style buildings, allowing for a dynamic exploration of architectural details and spatial relationships.

Upon first glance, a see-through window from the cover to the back attracts readers to Hui-style architecture. As pages turn, iconic sections with narratives and extended details lead readers to a self-paced tour through the building. Layered pages allow users to pause between two sections to observe spatial relationships and different perspectives. This interaction makes ancient, intricate concepts accessible and engaging, fostering a profound impact on spreading Hui cultural heritage.

This is not just a book to be read; it's a book to be “experienced”. As you flip through the pages, you're not just turning paper—you're unlocking doors, peering into courtyards, and walking through the halls of a Hui-style house. The design invites you to pause, to linger over each detail, to imagine the lives lived within these walls. It's a self-guided tour through history, where you're both the explorer and the architect, piecing together the past with every page.

Hui House has achieved international acclaim, securing the IDA Gold Award in the Print/Books category, the A' Design Award in both the Cultural Heritage and Culture Industry Design category, and the Print and Published Media Design category. It was also selected as an official finalist in the London International Creative Competition (LICC). The book has been acquired by prestigious institutions such as the MOOD Museum in Italy and the Bengbu Museum in China. Additionally, it has garnered significant interest among young audiences just as it was intended to do, showcased within the art departments of several universities for educational purposes.
