All the materials can be recycled for the convenience of reconstruction eleswhere after the dismantlement.
Design Challenge: As this project needs to be presented in different countries, there is a very high requirement for the technical treatment of natural materials, the convenience of establishment and the repeatability of establishment with the consideration of elements such as regional climate difference, insect prevention and fire resistance etc. In addition, only two months of time are provided for the design to the international transportation and establishment of the materials.
Research: To highlight the exhibits and nature of the design, the designer did not contribute excessive decorations.
