IDA 2024 NOW OPEN -- Final Deadline November 30, 2024
In the Shunan Bamboo Forrest in Sichuan of China, is there a unique geological landscape called Gem Lakes, which are small blue ponds formed by underground water containing copper sulfate. The site is right by a small Gem Lake in a bamboo forest around the village. Our client wants to donate a community center to host a variety of local cultural events. In this project, building disappears and nature reveals. Our primary strategy is to lead life into natural field by hand-making a bamboo building in its original way, where intersected arches generate a garden of forking paths.
