Min Zhuo has reconstructed the Fish Pavilion of Bamboo Shadow in Changxing, China.

Located in a preserved scenic area where bamboo is widely grown, the Fish Pavilion of Bamboo Shadow endeavoured to reestablish its connection with nature.

Local bamboo weaving craft was reinterpreted as a construction technology of architectural envelope.

"The bamboo pavilion is shaped into an abstract and symbolic fish, bearing a good meaning of prosperity," said Min Zhou.

With sunlight filtering through bamboo slats, the pavilion makes for a peaceful space with rafters on hot days in the valley.

This project has been longlisted in the civic project category of Dezeen Awards 2023.
