A proposal for a gate like a bamboo forest.
My intention was to create a vague boundary between the inside and the outside by making the boundary as a region having a certain thickness, instead of a clear-cut one.
To be more precise, 2.328 pieces of bamboo were hung down to come up with an atmosphere of a bamboo forest, and were named a ‘gate’. The periphery of this bamboo forest is softly wrapped with highly transparent, yet very inexpensive agricultural mesh.
