Conceived as a 20-year research and development framework, the project uses Huanglong Island as a testing ground for sustainable rural practices. It combines physical interventions with community-based participation, supported by an online co-creation network that includes more than 3,000 participants worldwide engaged in discussions and proposals related to rural development.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"forest of steel pillars creates swinging installation enveloped in cloud-like mist in china\" width=\"818\" height=\"545\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/oas-s-elyamidst-the-misty-islands-an-ancient-gate-leads-to-the-future-10-695a39d034a6e.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\"\/><br \/>all images by Noah Swh<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Zhide utilizes Steel and Water Vapor to Shape Spatial Perception<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>OAS\/S-ELY is primarily constructed from steel components and is designed as a spatial marker within the island\u2019s landscape. For Zhide Architectural Design Studio, the form references movement and transition, allowing multiple readings without relying on literal representation. A controlled misting system is integrated into the structure, releasing water vapor to simulate cloud-like conditions. This system alters visibility and spatial perception over time, creating an environment that shifts in response to atmospheric conditions and user presence.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Through its material assembly, environmental responsiveness, and placement within a broader sustainability framework, OAS\/S-ELY operates as both an architectural object and a platform for interaction. The project explores how built form can engage ecological processes and collective participation while contributing to ongoing discussions around rural regeneration and future-oriented design practices.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"forest of steel pillars creates swinging installation enveloped in cloud-like mist in china\" width=\"818\" height=\"1091\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/oas-s-elyamidst-the-misty-islands-an-ancient-gate-leads-to-the-future-4-695a39d034875.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\"\/><br \/>OAS\/S-ELY is an architectural art installation by Zhide Architectural Design on Huanglong Island, China<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"forest of steel pillars creates swinging installation enveloped in cloud-like mist in china\" width=\"818\" height=\"1227\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/oas-s-elyamidst-the-misty-islands-an-ancient-gate-leads-to-the-future-9-695a39d034a24.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\"\/><br \/>the installation is set within a coastal landscape shaped by sea winds and rocky reefs<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"forest of steel pillars creates swinging installation enveloped in cloud-like mist in china\" width=\"818\" height=\"1227\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/oas-s-elyamidst-the-misty-islands-an-ancient-gate-leads-to-the-future-6-695a39d03492e.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\"\/><br \/>OAS\/S-ELY functions as an art gateway within the island\u2019s natural terrain<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"forest of steel pillars creates swinging installation enveloped in cloud-like mist in china\" width=\"818\" height=\"1227\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/oas-s-elyamidst-the-misty-islands-an-ancient-gate-leads-to-the-future-7-695a39d034977.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\"\/><br \/>the public artwork\u2019s placement responds directly to the island\u2019s coastal conditions<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OAS\/S-ELY Installation Anchors Coastal Landscape in Huanglong \u00a0 OAS\/S-ELY is an architectural art\u00a0installation by Zhide Architectural Design located&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":225678,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[4793,437,434,435,436,438,146,85,2581,46,5252],"class_list":{"0":"post-225677","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-architecture-in-china","9":"tag-arts","10":"tag-arts-and-design","11":"tag-artsanddesign","12":"tag-artsdesign","13":"tag-design","14":"tag-entertainment","15":"tag-il","16":"tag-interactive-installation","17":"tag-israel","18":"tag-public-art"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225677","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=225677"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225677\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/225678"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=225677"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=225677"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=225677"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
