Winter Worm Summer Herb, Hong Kong, 2008

The Winter Worm Summer Herb pavilion consists of triangular plywood plates sown together with the help of cable binders.

At a very low cost and low technology construction the pavilion is also a flexible mobile structure that can be very easily disassembled, transported, reassembled and sown together again, adjusting to the size of the site and the local requirements.

Build your own pavilion!

The Winter Worm Summer Herb pavilion consists of triangular plywood plates sown together with the help of cable binders. At a very low cost and low technology construction the pavilion is also a flexible mobile structure that can be very easily disassembled, transported, reassembled and sown together again, adjusting to the size of the site and the local requirements.

Winter Worm Summer Herb was first presented at the waterfront promenade of Hong Kong within the framework of the Hong Kong & Shenzhen Bi-city Biennale of Urbanism and Architecture 2009-2010. After the closing of the Biennale the pavilion was set up at the Hong Kong Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre (March-April 2010) and at the Kwai Tsing Theatre in Hong Kong (May 2010), to travel afterwards as a mobile exhibition space around mainland China.

Videos on urban issues are projected on the triangular crystalline structure of the pavilion’s interior. The pavilion, as a mobile and flexible platform, transgresses boundaries, infecting its urban surroundings by moving to a series of different locations for community education.
