Harvesting Rain
In the Hakka village of Duling, Guangxi, tiered roofs gather rainfall into a lotus pond that serves as both water source and cultural symbol. Designed through student–community collaboration, the education centre merges vernacular wisdom with sustainable design—turning rain into a shared resource for learning and renewal.
