# Bamboo Hexagonal Structures This Rice Field Landmark is Made to Note the Importance of Agriculture By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-07-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hexagonal-structure References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/architecture/mountain-poetic-bamboo-structures-china-07-05-2016/) & [monewsupdate.pro](http://monewsupdate.pro/mountain-poetic-landmark-china-offer-bamboo) The '[Mountain Poetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mountain-church-of-julong)' project was created in order to celebrate the rich agricultural landscape of the rice fields in Yixing, Lianhua Dang, China -- where a series of hexagonal structures were built. Each varies in size, with the [bamboo material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazon-rainforest-pavilion) offering the pieces a raw and natural look that allows them to correspond with its surroundings well. In addition to celebrating the fields, the hexagonal structures also double-function as [duck sheds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nesting-plan-vi-call-duck) and resting spots for those passing through the area. With this, Mountain Poetic seeks to bring the community together while also providing a useful work of architecture -- making for an attractive art piece that encourages togetherness. From the bamboo supports, people are welcomed to observe the surrounding area -- to appreciate the beauty of the land and acknowledge the teamwork that goes into harvesting it.
