The project focuses on the entrance to the Bamboo Sea National Forest Park, aiming to interpret the natural ambiance and regional spirit through an artistic spatial language. Inspired by the unique scenery and shifting light of the bamboo forest, the design employs a strategy of “natural form simulation + symbolic translation” to create a poetic environment reminiscent of traditional Chinese ink-wash landscapes.
The entrance centers on the concept of a “floating bamboo grove”: a dense cluster of bamboo appears to hover above the water, shrouded in mist, evoking a sense of otherworldly serenity. Colored glass light boxes, representing five different weather and light conditions in the Bamboo Sea—white, yellow, purple, red, and blue—are embedded within the bamboo grove. When sunlight interacts with the mist, the boxes refract ethereal beams of colored light, forming a dynamic, flowing visual composition.
A winding footbridge extends from the shore, passing through the floating bamboo grove, guiding visitors into the heart of the forest under the bath of multicolored light. The five colors derive from careful observation of the Bamboo Sea’s lighting: white for misty rain, yellow for morning sunlight, purple for humid filtered light, red for sunset, and blue for twilight.
The space uses “light, mist, water, and bamboo” as media to merge natural landscape with architectural installation, creating an entrance that is simultaneously ecological and imbued with Eastern poetic sensibility.
