Shigou Quarterly Cover - The Wandering Walls

From Recognition to Understanding: Shigou Quarterly Features The Wandering Walls on Its Cover

Since The Wandering Walls first caught the attention of the architectural community, several articles have examined it from a design perspective. This year, Shigou Quarterly took it further—featuring the inn’s iconic “Flying Wall” on its cover and dedicating nearly 30 pages to an in-depth report. For us, this is not just an honor—it feels like a meaningful dialogue with the professional field, allowing the thoughts behind the architecture to be truly seen.

Cover Feature The “Flying Wall” becomes the visual theme, echoing the curves’ dialogue with the wind.
In-depth Coverage A 30-page special explores the concept, structure, and construction techniques.
Cross-disciplinary Dialogue Conversations between the publisher, editors, architect Grace, and owner Gavin.

The interview was a “full team effort”—the publisher, vice-publisher, chief editor, and editorial staff all visited, with architect Grace Cheung personally present. Together, we walked along the curved walls, discussing wind flow, modular casting, structural placement, and on-site coordination—every detail sparking further discussion. The article “Wild Construction” captures and extends these conversations.

“Architecture ultimately exists for people.” Beyond techniques and structures, the report also focuses on the human side—how the architect becomes the soul of the design, and how the owner and builders achieve perfection together. Gavin’s dual role as both owner and on-site coordinator left a deep impression on the editorial team, leading them to feature him in the interview section.

We believe that when a space is treated with sincerity, its story will naturally be told. This feature is not only a response to public curiosity but also an introspection—on how to preserve tranquility in a land of strong winds, carve refinement out of rugged materials, and find the most fitting answers within local conditions.

Last year, after The Wandering Walls began to be noticed by the architecture community, several reports emerged examining it from an architectural perspective. This year, it has gone even further—the stunning “Flying Wall” graced the cover of Shigou Quarterly, along with 30 pages of coverage, which was a great honor for us.

The interview by Shigou was almost a full-team turnout—the publisher, vice-publisher, chief editor, and editors all came, and even our architect Grace joined. Since the magazine team members are veterans of both academic and practical architecture, they explored the building in detail, discussing construction endlessly. The article “Wild Construction” records the conversations between the publisher, vice-publisher, chief editor, Grace, and Gavin.

In addition to architecture, the report also includes an architectural discourse with Grace and a feature interview with Gavin, shifting the focus from buildings to people. Because architecture is ultimately created by people—the architect is the soul of the design, and good owners and construction teams work together to achieve perfection. The Shigou team was impressed by Gavin’s dual role as both owner and construction coordinator, so they chose him as the focus of their interview.
