WUA Studio, in collaboration with Sordo Madaleno architects, introduces the Floating Boats installation at the Art Field Nanhai Guangdong 2024 festival. Rooted in the founder's personal history, the design draws inspiration from dragon boat racing and the historic Silkworm House, reflecting regional traditions. The installation unfolds across three levels: grounded boats underwater symbolize dormancy, an anticipatory first level, and finally, lightweight boats suspended above water reflect dynamism. This installation aligns with the festival theme, Be Like Water, showcasing a transformative interpretation of cultural heritage into a sensory experience.
The design captures the elegance and speed of dragon boat racing through a dynamic illusion, directing the gaze skyward towards light and motion.
Emerging architecture practice WUA Studio, in collaboration with Sordo Madaleno, unveils an installation that honors traditional riverbank heritage while redefining it through contemporary design.
