The Nesting Plan series learns from the architectural expertise of the animal builders inhabiting each site, interpreting their nesting techniques through human construction materials, such as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/wood-and-timber-architecture\/\">wood<\/a><\/strong> and metal, and craftsmanship as a tribute to their remarkable natural instincts. This time, the project takes place in Ljubljana, a city that sees the dragon as its guardian and spiritual symbol, earning it the nickname Dragon City. Inspired by the local dragon culture, the artist chose the mythical creature as the subject of the nesting plan for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>all images by <a href=\"https:\/\/fixer.com.tw\/index#\/\">FIXER Photographic Studio<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">Construction materials mirror a mythic dragon\u2019s strength<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Drawing from depictions of dragons in legends, ancient paintings, films, and childhood memories, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chengtsung.com\/\">the artist<\/a><\/strong> imagines a dragon capable of flying, powerful enough to clutch boulders, dwelling in harsh environments where other creatures cannot reach and plants cannot grow. Taking inspiration from the size and claws of the four green bronze dragons on the city\u2019s famous Dragon Bridge, Cheng Tsung FENG envisioned the nest\u2019s materials, interior space, and entrance dimensions, and created this imagined dragon\u2019s nest. This work is designed to be movable; all of its components can be dismantled and reused, reassembled into furniture such as tables and chairs, extending its possibilities in countless ways. It is a gift dedicated to Ljubljana and its dragons, a nest for myth and imagination. Nesting Plan IX Dragon is commissioned by The Wellbeing Project for the Global Hearth Summit 2025.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Cheng Tsung FENG presents Nesting Plan IX Dragon in Ljubljana, Slovenia<\/p>\n<p>the installation explores local mythology through architectural form<\/p>\n<p>Ljubljana\u2019s iconic dragon symbol forms the basis of the nest\u2019s concept<\/p>\n<p>part of the ongoing Nesting Plan series studying animal-built environments<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the nest reflects the scale and claw forms of the Dragon Bridge sculptures<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>construction materials mirror the imagined strength of a mythic dragon<\/p>\n<p>the structure is entirely modular and fully dismantlable<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>Nesting Plan IX offers a myth-informed response to place and narrative<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>freestanding, the nest forms an inhabitable sculptural object<\/p>\n<p>interior volume and entrance are proportioned for symbolic function<\/p>\n<p>Ash wood and joinery techniques evoke traditional craftsmanship<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0Nesting Plan IX Dragon<br \/>\n<strong>artist:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chengtsung.com\/\">Cheng Tsung FENG<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/chengtsungfeng\/\">@chengtsungfeng<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>location:<\/strong> Ljubljana, Slovenia<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>organizer:<\/strong> The Wellbeing Project<br \/>\n<strong>co-organizer:<\/strong> Center Rog<br \/>\n<strong>curator:<\/strong> Carrie Barratt, Anique Jordan<br \/>\n<strong>project design:<\/strong> Chan Wei HSU<br \/>\n<strong>thematic research:<\/strong> Cheng PENG<br \/>\n<strong>production assistance:<\/strong> Chung Sheng HSU, Kuan Chen CHEN, Jan Lov\u0161e, Yi Cheng LIN, Chien Hsiang HUANG, Po Chun LIANG, Chun Hung CHEN<br \/>\n<strong>structural analysis:<\/strong> Jianquan Engineering Consultants<br \/>\n<strong>woodwork:<\/strong> Chiao Sen Wooden Industry Co.,Ltd<br \/>\n<strong>metalwork:<\/strong> Yi-Chang Laser<br \/>\n<strong>paint coating:<\/strong> Yuan-Wei Technology<br \/>\n<strong>lighting design:<\/strong> Oude Design<br \/>\n<strong>human resource manager:<\/strong> Miaw Mann CHEN<br \/>\n<strong>photographer:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/fixer.com.tw\/index#\/\">FIXER Photographic Studio<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/fixer_photographic_studio\/\">@fixer_photographic_studio<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\"><span class=\"s1\">DIY submissions<\/span><\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\"><span class=\"s1\">here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/art\/cheng-tsung-feng-dragon-nest-installation-wood-metal-ljubljana-nesting-plan-ix-dragon-07-21-2025\/\">cheng tsung feng plans dragon nest installation out of wood and metal in ljubljana<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cheng Tsung FENG presents Nesting Plan IX Dragon in Slovenia \u00a0 For the ninth edition of his Nesting Plan series, artist Cheng Tsung FENG draws from local cultural motifs in Ljubljana, Slovenia, selecting the dragon, &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[142],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.7 -
