Manually bent steel pipe structure is cladded with 1cm bamboo dowels in its width. A projector is installed at the center of installation to project the motion graphic onto the floor.
Design Challenge

Hito bito is selected as one of new immigrant installation to celebrate diversity of Taiwan with many nations to work and live together.
Inspiration
The design inspiration is where people gather and feel the diversity of Taipei City. The weaved bamboo facade and white-painted steel pipes represent the traditional Asian crafting method meeting with architectural structure.
Project Duration
The design started in November 2022 and finished construction in January 2023 in Taipei City. The Lantern festival was open to public in February 2023.
