"Cheng Tsung FENG's Meeting Dome is a large-scale spherical installation in Fugang, , that reinterprets the technique of the traditional chair. The project continues the artist's exploration of artisanal practices, translating everyday craft into spatial form. The installation expands the chair's woven seat into a monumental structure. Thin bamboo strips are layered in parallel and extended across a hexagonal metal framework, producing a continuous lattice surface."
"The open geometry keeps the sphere permeable from all sides, encouraging visitors to move through, gather, and interact. As light filters through the bamboo layers, shifting patterns of shadow animate the ground and create shaded areas beneath the dome. Inside, bamboo stools are arranged in varied groupings and heights around a central planting of local Taoyuan vegetation. This spatial layout invites pause and interaction, recalling the informal ways neighbors once gathered on bamboo chairs in village streets, under trees, and in alleyways."
Meeting Dome is a large-scale spherical installation in Fugang that reinterprets traditional Taiwanese bamboo chair weaving by translating the woven seat into a monumental structure. Thin bamboo strips are layered in parallel and extended across a hexagonal metal framework to produce a continuous lattice surface that recalls the Chinese character for 'person' (人), emphasizing structural balance and human connection. The open geometry keeps the sphere permeable from all sides, allowing movement and gathering as light filters through to animate shadows. Bamboo stools surround a central planting of local Taoyuan vegetation, inviting pause and communal exchange.
