Through the lapse of time, man-made structures will decay and be abandoned by human, but as soon as it is being used by other lives, its use as a building remains.
By merging into the nature, a building can redefine itself after the erosion of time.
Built with nature material and local technique, the tower serves not only as a bird watching and resting spot, but also as a foundation for ecosystem to develop upon. Which remind people of the local history how Qingshan Lake was occupied by human, and later returned to the nature again.
By merging into nature, a building can redefine itself after the erosion of time. The tower is a bamboo-stone structure, built with original workmanship. Above the water, it serves people as an rest area, a pier, and a bird watching tower. Underwater, the porous stone cage structure promotes sedimentary and the development of eco-system. The Green-mountain Lake was once farmland, and was given back to nature. In the years, the nature- material structure will also be given back to nature.
HISTORY ANALYSIS
Exploit (1949-1995)
The area of Dongting Lake has been greatly reduced due to the intensive reclamation after the establishment of RPC.
Backfire (1954-1998)
As fewer lakes, flood storage capacity is reduced, floods in Yangtze river basin happened more frenquently, the 1998 catastrophic flood was a wake-up call.
Reflect (1998-2003)
Since 1998, the government has vigorously carried out the policy of returning farmland to lakes. Farmers lost their farmland and had to make a living by fishing, which damaged the wetland ecology.
Reconcile
(2003-now)
In 2003, with the efforts of WWF, the "community co-management" system was established in Qingshan Yuan. Tourism and scientific research activities became important economic sources for local residents, and the villagers actively protected the wetland ecology.
Return (future)
As the relationship between man and nature continues to ease, animals will gradually take over their own territory, and all man-made things will shed traces of human use and devote themselves to nature.
