Tell us about your creative practice, and how your work engages with Chinese design, society, environment or culture.

Castle Peak Village Visitor Centre is the first new public building in Castle Peak Village. Following the Rong Library and Nature School, a container bar along the main road of the village became a gathering place for design youth. The bottom of the new building is surrounded by rammed earth to reproduce the original space, while a group of youth creative spaces in the shape of bamboo flower houses appear on the upper floor. An open terrace is deliberately reserved on the top floor to return the public space of the village taken away by the building, overlooking the surrounding green hills. Bamboo structure means flower house and bamboo forest, which is in line with the original natural architectural language of rammed earth in the original village, and looks forward to the humanistic care of new natural materials. There is a bamboo flower stand to shade the sun in the small square, and a bamboo arch rainbow bridge not far away. The roof simulates the space of a traditional covered bridge, and the tradition is broken and integrated into a new design. It symbolizes a new development that the village is experiencing.
