Miao House

This project was a group project done in a collaboration with students of Zhejiang University. The first part of the project are interventions on an urban level for a rural village in China for the people of Miao minority. The second step of the project was to design a house with a concept related to the culture of the villagers. The third step was a public building for the development of practices which would benefit the minority. The narrative was constructed from a research of a series of traditional Miao poems. The created poem is a product of a collage of ideas from different folklore elements based on historical events, such as the Miao rebellion , uprisings of the Miao people from 1854–1873 during the reign of the Qing dinasty. The uprising was a result of tensions between Han and Miao. The triptih for the narrative is a collage of pictures from the topography of the village to different existing houses and the main square in the village.
