Mount Weave Water: Algorithm Construction of Natural Meterial in Native context

The site is located in Nanning, China, where is famous for the beautiful picturesque natural landscape. The project, ‘Weaving Mount and Water’,  intends to create a tight connection with the surrounding hills and water systems, as well as integrate the unique spiritual symbols and local identity.

The spatial experience of surrounded by mountains and water is the primary intention of the project. The inspiration is from traditional Chinese drawing techiniques pf interpreting the landscape and mountains at a distance. Applying ‘Weaving’ as the medium and‘Bamboo steel’ as the materials as the skeleton. While the texutre of mountain is woven with plam hemp rope, and interlinkeed withropes to create various spatial experience. Various local plant species interact with the weaving structures, causing a strong constrast between the soft plants texture and hard steel structure. The interpretation of “mountain” and “water” is extended from two levels. The view extending from the garden integrates the mountain shape structure in the distance. And a lower perspective of the water will create a vague connection with the natural waterway.
