Great (Bamboo) Wall Kengo Kuma & Associates
In this project, ten chosen Asian architects were commissioned to design ten residences each, creating a hundred residences all together in a forest adjacent to the Great Wall of China, an environmentally mutual commune. Our basic notion of this project was to leave the original geographical features intact and to utilize the locally produced materials as much as possible. The idea of leaving the land intact is a common consent with the planning ideology of the Great Wall.
