Floating Mountain Cloud House

Wutopia Lab completed a flying aluminum mountain at Luofu Mountain in Huizhou, serving as the Fushan Yunshe exhibition center for the Ping An TCM Health Industrial Park. The decisive moment of seeing the mountain: the day we surveyed the site, it poured rain. I walked gingerly along the field ridges, everything shrouded in mist, hiding all information, nothing visible, including the legendary nearby Daoist mountain, Luofu. Eventually the rain became too heavy to walk in, and we were forced to stand silently waiting for it to stop. Fortunately, the storm arrived fiercely and passed quickly. At the moment the rain stopped, Luofu, which had been invisible in the rain, suddenly emerged. This visionary moment, appearing as if from nothing, struck me, shattering the calm of our silent standing and eliciting the same exclamation as poets and travelers through the ages: Luofu suddenly arrives. One pond, three mountains: in that decisive moment, I stood wet on the muddy edge of a fish pond, with the sudden reflection of Luofu behind me, facing Taiping Mountain to the south of the site, and a meme was awakened: the Chinese classical garden concept of one pond and three mountains. The project by Wutopia Lab creates an exhibition center that is itself a landscape object, responding to the mountain setting with a sculptural aluminum form that emerges like a vision from the mist.
