With the aim of designing with minimum negative impact on the environment, the chalet is built into a hillside or nestled among trees, with the design taking cues from the natural environment. The cantilivered balcony could allow guests to enjoy the outdoors in comfort.

The use of sharp angles and dramatic walls that jut out at unexpected angles is the reminiscent of the surrounding mountain landscape or contrast with it in a bold way. These elements would add to the unique character of the chalet and make it a memorable part of the eco resort experience.

THE GESTURE

Year: 2020

Location: Nanshan Birdpark Guang Zhou, China

Supervisor: Ar. Loh Khang Yong

Collaborators: Chin Mann Yuin Ow Kar Yong | Jonathan See Rachel Lee

Our pavilion intends to visit the basics of bird watching at Nansha Bird Park, through the concept of ‘Gestures’ – a series of hand motions that we naturally perform when we are bird watching.

The concept is derived through the inspiration of a series of ‘Viewing Hand Gestures’ inclusive of ‘Framing Gestures’, ‘Distant View Gestures’, ‘Binocular View

Nanshan Birdpark

Nansha Wetland Park is a great place to escape the city and embrace true nature. Known as “the kidney of Guangzhou”, the park is the city’s first wetland park and serves as a great respite for anyone wanting to escape the pressures of modern life. where there is the home for many waterfowls.

Back to the Basics of Bird Watching: The Gestures

A gesture is concise, purposeful and elegant. It physically and emotionally connects us with nature, living things and scenery. Our Bird Watching Pavilion seeks to achieve this connection through the inspiration of a series of ‘Viewing Hand Gestures’ inclusive of ‘Framing Gestures’, ‘Distant View Gestures’, ‘Binocular View Gestures’ and ‘Anatomy of Gestures’.

1st - Framing Gesture: The Site

The site selection is inspired by the ‘Framing Gestures’. By ‘framing the map’, the best pavilion angle is selected to view the sunrise along the river horizon.

2nd - Distant View Gesture: The Form Making

The ecstatic form is derived from the ‘Distant View Gestures’. Working within the boundaries, its seamless form resembles the hand motion of observing the birds in far distance.

3rd - Binocular View Gesture: The Function

One would experience the function of ‘Binocular View Gestures’ when stepping into the pavilion. The tunnel space would cut off all distractions for the visitor to bond visually with the habitats.

4th - Anatomy of Gesture: The Structure & Material

The structure & material is inspired by the ‘Anatomy of Gestures’. The Primary structure refers to the finger skeleton, secondary layer refers to the finger muscle, surface material refers to the skin.
