Amazing Bamboo Wall House as Cultural Exchange Japan – China

#LOOKING LIKE ORDINARY OUTSIDE, BUT AN AMAZING VIEW INSIDE

HomeMIMA | Amazing  Bamboo Wall House as Cultural Exchange Japan – China | Bamboo is a symbol of cultural exchange Japan – China, and perfectly suits the work of a Japanese architect in China. The Great Bamboo Wall House is a handsome and successful exploration of the possibilities that lie ahead for new forms of dwellings on the Chinese mainland (Making magic with materials and light). Kengo Kuma as owner chose to leave the original geographical features intact and use locally produced materials as much as possible. Departing from the 20th century suburban practice of building on flattened land, the architect decided to build a different kind of wall.

 

This main feature, made of bamboo, serves as a filter for the surroundings. In sharp contrast to the Great Wall’s brick and stone, bamboo’s charm lies in its weakness. Exploiting this aspect, the wall allows light and wind to pass through.
