Based in Taiwan, the artist creates an impressive structure that is built using over 600 bamboo poles and 70 pine logs. To realize this project, Wang Wen-Chih worked with Cave Urban, an Australian architecture firm that helped take this building from concept to reality. This woven architecture piece was built as part of Sydney’s Woodfork Folk Festival and is a piece that has drawn in countless tourists.
