WALL SHELTER
LINCOLN MA, USA

This is a residential project located in woods. Graphically, this project consists of some straight walls in the woods. What do some abstract straight lines mean when they are located in nature? Simply, they are human traces. The housing space is underground and the space between the walls above ground is open to any creature in the woods. For those who hike, walk, and fish in the area, these straight walls are a sign of human beings, acting as an anchor of human society and sheltering people during their staying in wild nature. For the other creatures in the woods, they can find their own way of using this man-made space: vines will slowly creep up these walls and animals will come and go between these spaces. Over time, nature will accept an invasive building; a balanced relationship will be established between nature and the building.
