Libaray of Wuxi Hope Primary School in Bora Township is a small-scale public welfare project designed and donated by HDD several years back. Bora Township in Xiahe County, Gansu Province, where the project is located, is a village in the Tibetan area of Gansu. Most of the school children are Tibetans. In order to improve the educational environment of the school, enthusiasts planned to donate a library to provide children with a better reading environment and more good books to read. In view of the inadequate construction budget and the need to minimize maintenance costs, the design took the healthy, comfortable, green and environmentally friendly Active House approach with the simplest and most effective architectural design techniques.
