Learning from the Great Wall’s temporality of a living breathing organism, slowly dissolving into oneness with nature, the project studied different stabilization additives (Pulverized lime, Plant based fiber, Glutinous rice starch, Lichen biocrust and Raw sample) to understand the relationship between “stabilization” and “decay”, and potentially embody decay as an inevitable force of nature that could play an active role in the space making—“Controlled Erosion” as Martin Rauch phrased or simply Decay as Form Finding.
