The "Grand Round House" is a temporary architecture that explores the emotional experience with Hakka round houses through an abstract structure. It seeks to reflect the unique cultural essence in traditional Chinese architecture through subtle textures, balanced scale, and rhythmic design. This exploration offers a new perspective on the concept of "innovation through tradition" in the era of artificial intelligence, while also lamenting the gradual loss of local culture and emotional connections.
It is built upon a sturdy pine wood frame, while the space within the installation is crafted with intricately woven Chinese bamboo curtains. This flexible structure exhibits dynamic stretching and fluidity, reminiscent of the rhythm and flow of traditional Chinese cursive calligraphy. The bamboo curtains utilized in its structure are all crafted from natural Chinese bamboo and are entirely reusable. They transcend the conventional use of bamboo materials and are presented as a form of contemporary art installation.
The "Grand Round House" harmoniously integrates traditional Chinese materials and contemporary design, resulting in an artistic exploration that prioritizes sustainability.
