Explore ‘The Grand Round House,’ A Sustainable Building Exhibit<\/h1>\n\n\n

2024 Best of Year Winner for Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Grand Round House at Shenzhen Museum of Contemporary Art and Urban Planning was inspired by round earthen houses, called tulou<\/em>, found in villages of the Hakka people throughout the southwestern region of Fujian province in China. Deve Build abstracted the basic structure\u2014while maintaining the essence\u2014of this ancient Chinese typology as a means to both explore the concept of innovation and lament the loss of local culture and emotional connections. The 4,300-square-foot creation is crafted entirely of woven-bamboo curtains (reusable at installation\u2019s end), their fluid forms mimicking calligraphy; transcending the material\u2019s typical use elevates it to contemporary-art status. The experience of walking through is meant to feel warm and comfortable, reflecting the very nature of the round house and celebrating the resonance of traditional architecture\u2014providing a welcome sense of humanism and grounding in this era of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
