CONSIDERATIONS OF COUNTRY

Micro Ecological Endocycle

The combination of miniature but relatively comprehensive vegetation, water and rock form the closest thing to nature at the base of the building. The linkage and integration of the vegetation from the bottom up allows the entire open building to be integrated into the miniature nature at the lowest base. Even the artificially created ecosphere can help to awaken the user to nature.

Non-Anthropocentric Ecology

We question the necessity of barriers. Humans in Country is merely part of a living entity with its own spirit, and humans are responsible for caretaking the land. Instead of segregating the land and living, we remodel the heterogenous anthropocentric architecture into artificial land.

Despite varied reading of Country, we acknowledge Country as an important ideology of our design. No matter what position we take, we design for the benefit of everyone, and hopefully, every being on this land we live and build.
