Diamond Village
Back to Projects list- Year
- 2019
Diamond Village depicts the daily life of an urban village, Yu Tian Community, in Shenzhen. The co-existence of cross-axis and 45-degree-axis networks in Yu Tian reminds DAS of Diamond House by John Hejduk and his inspiration could be traced to De Stijl paintings by Piet Mondrian. If it is said that Hejduk developed Mondrian’s flat painting language into a spatial form, then in this piece DAS tries to transform it further into an urban settlement.Diamond Village consists of 3 architectural axonometric panoramas and presents a multi-angled visual effect in the form of lenticular print.
