Archi-Union Architects designed this multi-functional community center located in the Sichuan Province, China, inspired by the local tradition of bamboo-weaving.

“The gestural interweaving roof is a construction of many prefabricated parts delivered to the site ready for quick assembly. The Mobius-shaped roof is supported by a 70% light prefabricated steel frame and finished with traditional ceramic tiles. The high efficiency afforded by pre-fabricating components made the 52-day construction period of this complex geometry possible.

The relationships of inside & outside, bamboo & tile and new & old are all able to be experienced in the ‘infinite (∞) shape’ of the roof. The new definition offered for traditional paradigms and the rethinking of rural & urban issues provide a lens for thinking about the meaning of architecture in the present time.”
