As an intersection that connects the past and future of the forest railway,Symbiosisrepresents a future of circular sustainability that is symbiotic with nature.Text description provided by the architects.Situated at the junction where the forest railway converges and diverges at Zhuqi Station,Symbiosisis built atop a triangular base that conceives and embodies the past and future of the forest railway of Zhuqi.With both metallic rigidity and bamboo-like flexibility, the structural body is combined with a bamboo tile-covered hyperboloid rooftop. Together, this design and other delicate architectural features create a sustainable and eco-friendly bamboo building.Using traditional bamboo materials to construct digital geometric shapes, the design features the elegant and natural outlines of bamboo forests and the rational trajectory of industrial railways. These elements combine to form a rhythmic, tensile spatial structure that resonates with the local culture.
