The materials of a shield trace back to their origins, evolving from wood and iron to modern composites, becoming lighter yet stronger. Architecture follows a similar path, from traditional wooden houses to modern glass towers, with safety and stability as the core pursuit. In this project, the shield symbolizes home protection. The wood wool cement boards form a fortress like structure, embodying a sanctuary of stability. As night falls, the rhythmic lines and encircling curves evoke the sense of home as a haven.
