The Tulou used to be an enclosed residential building which could hold up to hundred of people, but now only five or six remained. This project aims to provoke an emotional connection between Chinese vernacular culture and any vernacular culture to raise attention. Influencing by my experience of lack of communication during the pandemic. By sending out this Tulou kit I hope to foster connection among people as well as promote vernacular architecture and culture.Click the globe icon if you would like to know more about this project 😊

“Vernacular architecture is a witness to the existence of a certain culture. The decline and disappearance of every kind of architecture is the result of the change of times. At the same time of lamenting, we should also analyze the cause of this result.”
