What was our response to the slogan “Better city, better life”? We tried to produce space that was both universal and local using natural materials. Wicker provides natural architectural geometries and useful functions. The interior voids are generated by the exterior form and the exterior void and floods are generated by interior spaces. This culture is the most common in the world. Here in Spain and there in China too.
