Next to the river, a ramp runs alongside the parking lot; it heads up toward the trees in the middle of the site. The space under the ramp is filled by a wall – some kind of mesh, chain-link fence, a network of lines like fiberglass rods or bamboo – a wall of climbing plants; the wall extends up past the ramp as a railing, it curves over to cover the parking lot and camouflage cars. Where the ramp starts to rise past the screen, it takes on a cover of its own: it’s wrapped by a swathe of transparent vinyl, the ramp becomes a tube. The tube continues across the middle of the site, it winds through the trees, in-between trees, up in the foliage of trees. The tube is a linear building; it’s formed by a spiral of fiberglass rods, or bamboo, that sits on a base, a floor, of fiberglass grating. The floor is supported by steel tubes that reach out, one on one side and one further forward on the other, like spread-out legs; the building ‘walks’ through the trees, walks up in the trees, the building expands and contracts to fit between trees. Within the vinyl tube is a tube of steel mesh. It functions as a railing and as protection for the vinyl; when the building is used as an exhibition-hall, it’s the steel mesh that provides a hanging surface. You look at pictures/paintings/ photos/posters against a backdrop of foliage. Towards the edge of the trees, the building starts to descend. Where it leaves the trees, it loses its shell, it becomes a ramp again; in the clearing to the east of the site, it spirals down to make an amphitheater at the side of the road. It’s the exterior of the amphitheater that forms a bus turnaround at the end of the road. </p> <p>This project view belongs to <a href="../../project/anyang_korea/index.html">Anyang Linear Building</a>, and is threadged with:</p> <ul> <li><a href="../../thread/2005/index.html">2005</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Anyang%20Linear%20Building/index.html">Anyang Linear Building</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Circle-Spiral/index.html">Circle-Spiral</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Circulation%20Routes/index.html">Circulation Routes</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Eduardo%20Marques/index.html">Eduardo Marques</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Flying-Floating/index.html">Flying-Floating</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/In%20Development/index.html">In Development</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Korea/index.html">Korea</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Lights/index.html">Lights</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Parasite-Virus/index.html">Parasite-Virus</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Parking/index.html">Parking</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Parks%20and%20Gardens/index.html">Parks and Gardens</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Peter%20Dorsey/index.html">Peter Dorsey</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Screen-Overlay-Camouflage/index.html">Screen-Overlay-Camouflage</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Theaters/index.html">Theaters</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Transparent-Translucent/index.html">Transparent-Translucent</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Tube-Tunnel-Funnel/index.html">Tube-Tunnel-Funnel</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Twist-Warp-Morph/index.html">Twist-Warp-Morph</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Wave-Ripple-Flow/index.html">Wave-Ripple-Flow</a></li> </ul> <p>(<a href="../../img/422/AY_inside01.jpg">I</a>, <a href="../../img/422/AY_inside01.jpg.large.jpg">L</a>, <a href="../../img/422/AY_inside01.jpg.thumb.jpg">T</a>, <a href="../../index.html">A</a>)</p>
