10 tiny houses that capture the imagination

Les petites maisons offrent une solution, bien que modeste, pour réduire l'impact négatif de l'industrie de la construction sur le changement climatique.

Fish Trap House V

The Fish Trap is an ancient vessel. In the past, it served as a tool for catching fish. Then, as it was no longer used, it became a symbol that bears lost culture in museums and literature.

The artist FENG focused on the memories of the handicraft and the unique spatial experience that is perceived with the body to create a one-of-a-kind Fish Trap House so the vessel has a chance to hold all kinds of possibilities and imagination.

Taiwanese artist Cheng Tsung FENG always focuses on traditional handcrafted culture. For the large-scale installation art for Eslite Bookstore 30th Anniversary, his subject is “Chinese Stitched Binding”, which is a kind of book binding method with a long history.   When the idea becomes text, the text falls on the paper, the paper is bundled through the rope, and it finally assembles together as a book.

When people set foot on it and the... En savoir plus
