Wind Pavilion / Tongji CAUP

Project Introduction. Wind Pavilion, a bamboo-structured building located at the Longshanyuan in Anji City, serves tourist as a place for the rest, a small group as an accommodation for performances and a company as team building events. The design captures various landscapes characteristics from different aspects and uses bifurcated herringbone sheds as the spatial prototype. With fully explored bamboo’s potential structure of composite and information, we proposed originally a composite configuration of string-supported bamboo beam and side arches, which greatly reduces the amount of frames landing on the ground and realizes a curved surface with lithe and coherence. When the wind blows, the eventual space seems like a expensive canopy, evoking people’s initial feeling of being protecting from nature.
