Floral Wander Loop / DL Atelier

"The project is located on the banks of the Tiegang River in Longtan Town, Huizhou City, Guangdong Province. A thousand years ago, the renowned Northern Song literary giant Su Shi was banished to Huizhou and might have paced back and forth along this very river, drawing on the Lingnan landscape and customs to pen his "Sixteen Joys of Life in Huizhou.""

"A millennium has passed, and people today have drawn inspiration from Su Shi's "Sixteen Joys of Life in Huizhou" to build sixteen pavilions along the circuit road between Nankun Mountain and Luofu Mountain. These pavilions form a collection entitled the "Nankunshan-Luofushan Rim Pioneer Zone Architectural Art Project". Our project "Floral Wander Loop", is one of these pavilionsthe Tiegang River Pavilion."

The Floral Wander Loop project sits on the banks of the Tiegang River in Longtan Town, Huizhou City, Guangdong Province. The design draws inspiration from Su Shi's 'Sixteen Joys of Life in Huizhou' written during his exile to Huizhou a thousand years ago. Sixteen pavilions were constructed along the circuit road between Nankun Mountain and Luofu Mountain as a collective architectural art initiative titled the Nankunshan-Luofushan Rim Pioneer Zone Architectural Art Project. Floral Wander Loop functions as the Tiegang River Pavilion within that collection. The pavilions form a cultural and landscape corridor that references Lingnan customs and historic riverside movement.
