02 Field note
How the room is composed
- layout
- A raised linear platform holds hearth, sleeping, storage, weaving, and gathering zones above an open flood-tolerant undercroft.
- materials
- Bamboo posts, woven bamboo walls and floors, timber, grass thatch, cane, cotton, clay, and metal create a flexible house.
- furniture
- Sleeping mats, baskets, loom, low stools, storage racks, cooking vessels, and hanging tools keep the floor adaptable.
- lighting
- Humid river light filters through woven walls and open eaves while the raised floor admits air beneath the room.
- decoration
- Bamboo weave, patterned textiles, baskets, loom threads, clay vessels, and structural lashings provide warm visual rhythm.
