This specific type of architecture by Anna Heringer is very interesting to look at. My favorite type of architecture is the kind that makes me stop and stare, and this one would definitely do that if I were to ever encounter it in person. The abstract shape mixed with the perfectly placed bamboo shoots, plus the irregular sizes of each of the three buildings gives this structure almost a modern feel. These Hostels, located in Baoxi (a small village in china) utilize the same techniques as all of Heringer’s other architectural works, however this one specifically utilizes the bamboo shoots for a more aesthetic purpose. The building itself only consists of the thin cylindrical shape that you can faintly make out in the center of the structure. The bamboo though shoots are strategically placed around the outside to hide the mud walls and give the buildings as a whole a more pleasing look. The inspiration behind the shape and style of these buildings is the weaves of a basket and the curves of a ceramic vase, as well as a Chinese lampshade. The up close picture of the outer bamboo layer shows just how intricate this design is and how much work actually went into making it as perfect as it is. I think it would also be really cool to see this design be implemented in our own areas in the United States, but instead of bamboo, use metal. This design would definitely turn heads and gain a lot of attention.
