- PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The design of ‘The Strings through the Clouds’ ideates a proposal of ‘same complex living lifestyle’, which suggests one complex for dining, entertainment and relaxation in the fields of commercial home-stay, public space and residential. In this proposal, Atulie’ercun, also known as ‘the cliff village’, will transform into ‘outposts’. Villages of high altitude can be interconnected complexes, connecting to other villages via cable-ways, visualised as strings in the clouds. This architectural proposition can form an imaginative mode for villages of high altitudes, or those that suffered in poverty due to geographic disadvantages. Villagers who lagged from the rapid footprints of urbanisation can enjoy the convenience brought by cable-ways in fields of transportation, access to infrastructure and commercial incentives.
