It is located in the grassy rural landscape of Chongming and aims to foster a [dynamic interactive socialization hub](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radius-transformation-pavilion). It encourages visitors and residents alike to interact and connect after a long period of pandemic-induced social isolation. LIN Architecture relied on one of the strongest available materials to create the Pavilion -- bamboo. During the day, the Pavilion reflects sunlight off its naturally glazed exterior. Once night settles in, it glimmers with golden light installed inside the enclosure, creating a lantern-like appearance. The Bamboo Pavilion boasts a flowing organic structural composition, creating an empty yet interactive space. With the help of designers and students from across the globe, LIN Architecture realized its social hub vision.
