Design for Island Activation:

This design practice aims to promote the activation of the island in the form of micro-intervention by the design and construction of a small wedding hall which brought the island back to attention. From the perspective of traditional culture and human geography, the architects took full advantage of the natural resources when designing the site. In the process of form generation, the architects extracted the prototype of seaweed cottages and translated them into more abstract geometric forms. Meanwhile, by using fair-faced concrete, the space construction mixed the characteristics of traditional houses and modern architecture. Using the opening and skylight as an induced event, the space of the wedding hall gained a narrative clue of the wedding ceremony. After the construction of the wedding hall, the goal of activation was achieved with various benefits brought to the island.

Abstract

This design practice aims to promote the activation of the island in the form of micro-intervention by the design and construction of a small wedding hall which brought the island back to attention. From the perspective of traditional culture and human geography, the architects took full advantage of the natural resources when designing the site. In the process of form generation, the architects extracted the prototype of seaweed cottages and translated them into more abstract geometric forms. Meanwhile, by using fair-faced concrete, the space construction mixed the characteristics of traditional houses and modern architecture. Using the opening and skylight as an induced event, the space of the wedding hall gained a narrative clue of the wedding ceremony. After the construction of the wedding hall, the goal of activation was achieved with various benefits brought to the island.
