The project is inspired by a series of irrevocable contextual transformations that led to the construction of the Three Gorges Dam.  Driven by theories regarding the dam’s potential for failure, this project positions itself in a future where ecological imbalance necessitates its destruction. Working within such conditions, fantastic voids are created through the process of ‘destructing’ (an unconventional act for the architect), creating beauty from a monstrosity.
