3 days agoatelier deshaus tops laoyuting pavilion with fragmented modular roof in chinese wetlands
The pavilion sits among a grove of cypress trees which filter water before it reaches Dianchi Lake, and the area is frequented by residents who come to catch small fish among the reeds. Atelier Deshaus builds the pavilion as a space for pause in this setting, mediating between the movement of people and the slow work of the wetland. The structure creates an artificial 'forest' of slender steel columns that marks the transition from city to waterborne woodland.
