WEAK! architects (Marco Casagrande, Hsieh Ying-chun, Roan Ching-yue) are inspired by insects. The work Cicada / Bug Dome by the Shenzhen City Hall recycles bamboo and land-fill soil from the site into a large cocoon-like structure of insect architecture. WEAK! architects recompose existing materials with minimal effort to total impact. They describe themselves as lazy and flexible. They co-operate with children and grandmothers. This is a space for post-urban meditation. The metamorphosis is almost complete.
