The texture of the fields and paths The villagers’ agricultural life is closely tied to the reservoir, which is surrounded by a well-preserved natural environment rich in aquatic plants and inhabited by waterfowl. The construction aims to minimize disturbance to this native ecology. The “grain of the fields” shaped by fine farming practices is the site’s most distinctive feature. The architecture integrates humbly into the agricultural landscape, preserving existing field ridges and native vegetation. The building form is derived directly from the surrounding environment. A stretch of the dike path along the reservoir was chosen as the cue for the architectural circulation, allowing the floor plan to naturally extend from both ends, making the building an organic continuation of the dike road. The design follows an environment-sensitive generative logic: the building is embedded within the original dike fabric, while a raised platform adapts to fluctuations in water levels. The native plant system is preserved as an ecological buffer zone, forming a seamless transition between the building and the water body.
