ELEMENT EXTRACTION

I have extracted elements from the Zhenghe tripod of the Southern Song Dynasty excavated here and hope to make a more contemporary approach to architectural design and site design with an ancient flavour, so that this under-utilised site can be reintegrated into the period.

Aerial View Of The Site

We found radar soundings of the site of the Southern Song Imperial Temple and found that there were a number of temple sites beneath the site that needed to be protected and we marked them up, which would become an important element of the design.

I protected all the sites by cladding them and connecting them with previously refined curves, creating a sunken square that protects the sites from the sun and allows people to see them inside through small side windows.
