The Wind Rises Installation / Qing Studio

Quay. "The Wind Rises" at the end of the landscape. Our initial design task is a small quay, with plans to dock two medium-sized cruise ships 20-30m long. In terms of building types, quays, outdoor swimming pools, diving platforms, and fishing platforms they all look alike. Just because it is paired with different components such as railings, ladders, tie-ups, or benches, a one-person wide elevated trestle can achieve multiple identity conversion. Therefore, we have developed five types of unit modules based on the prototype of the single-column elevated trestle to meet different environmental and functional requirements. The general plan of the quay is deduced from the relationship between the ship route, the river bank, the road, and the village: It is basically a cross shape, which follows the course from two directions; The angle between it and the river bank can enclose the swimming pool area; On the other hand, its extension into the land runs right through the farmlands, directly opposite the entrance to the village.
