"The project reinterprets this poetic metaphor through spatial experience rather than literal representation. The building is organized as an elongated loop that aligns with both the flow of the river and the movement of vehicles along the adjacent road. The circulation departs and returns along the same route, alternating between constricted and open spaces to generate a rhythmic sequence of compression and release. Within the limited site of the bamboo forest, this continuous path extends the visitors' journey, transforming movement itself into a spatial narrative."
"The design mediates between two linear continuities, the road and the river, by establishing a third layer within the bamboo grove. The serves as a spatial interface rather than a barrier, allowing natural drainage and vegetation to remain uninterrupted. The main structure consists of narrow weathering modules measuring approximately 2.1 meters high and 1.2 meters wide, arranged in a staggered parallel configuration to form a passageway. The units are elevated slightly above the ground on 1-centimeter steel plates, ensuring water permeability."
Located within a bamboo grove between a road and the Tiegang River in Longtan Town, Huizhou, Guangdong, the Floral Wander Loop traces the river's flow while responding to vehicle movement along the adjacent road. Each installation along the circuit interprets one of Su Shi's 'Sixteen Joys of Life in Huizhou,' with this pavilion referencing 'Humbly sought to make flowers bloom.' The building is an elongated loop that alternates constricted and open passages to create compression and release. Narrow weathering modules form a staggered passage elevated on 1-centimeter steel plates, allowing water permeability and preserving natural contours, drainage, and vegetation.
