Wild grass has a tenacious vitality, and only needs a little soil, a little water and sunlight to find a living space. Located in the subtropical Nanhai area, the temperature and humidity are suitable. Wild grass can be seen on roofs, wall cracks, and stone bottoms.

The building is presented in the form of a wild grass museum, abstracting the gaps where plants grow in daily life into the outer skin of the building, and using the epidermal form of the black inflatable membrane to refer to the compressed growth environment of the wild grass. The humid and hot climate conditions and natural customs of the Nanhai give the wild grass the wild life force to survive in the cracks and grow towards the sun. The work “Spring Breeze Blows and Re generates” collects and records wild grasses in the Nanhai area, and plants them in the cracks of the building’s surface and the cracks in the ground.
