Coastal Long Pavilion on Chaishan Island / GN Architects

The pavilion aims to recreate this sense of arrival at the island's entrance, enhancing the village's context and establishing a distinct identity. The original concept relied on tidal movements for motion. When visitors sat in the pavilion, the waves and the structure would rise and fall together over hours. However, to consider the primary audience—tourists—the design has been revised to use wind power for instant effects. The form has also been optimized to make the changes more noticeable.
