Initiated by Luhu A8 Design Centre, with Animals Asia Foundation and Wuhan Small Animal Association, the small public welfare project by UAO Design aims to create an environmentally friendly adoption area that will promote the relationship between intended adopters and their puppies, thereby increasing the success rate of adoption.
Due to the nature of the temporary construction and the limited cost, UAO Design created a “large cage” outdoors with 40mm×40mm galvanized square steel pipes and enclosed the cage with orange polycarbonate panels. The small column grid unit of 2m×2m for the large cage highlights the slender and lightweight structure, while cross-shaped lights on the top of the cage gives prominence to a sense of ritual. When the afternoon sunlight shines on the building, this reflects an appealing rainbow.
