The Hong Kong Polytechnic University - Kung Wing Sze
Bamboo Craft Festival

A Spatial Celebration of Hong Kong’s Cultural Heritage With the rapid growth of urban development, old shops and street stalls that shape our cultural diversity will be demolished and eliminated, causing a gradual disappearance of local traditions and cultural heritages. To revitalize and celebrate these valuable and established practices, an elevated temporary bamboo structure is designed, creating a festival space for citizens.

Considering bamboo as a material used for urban interactions, the festival takes place annually and aims to engage people to experience and explore local street cultures and craftsmanship, through workshops and performances manifesting the spirit of Hong Kong traditions.

White Spring

Iceland, half of the year is covered under ice and snow, while the hot spring brings warmth to this area. Water, as the origin of life, became the greatest gift for Iceland from the lord. We imitated the natural form by simulating the solidified fountain and covered functional spaces with local material.

The fountain-shape tower in the middle rushed out of the ground like new branches, becoming an irreplaceable landmark building. The site is at Grjotagja cave, the northern part of Iceland. Unlike other natural landscapes, the cave is like a hidden Utopia Wonderland right under the land. There are geothermal hot springs and a prestigious wonder of nature underground.
