The Stone Nest Amphitheatre was a small-sized stone pit abandoned for years, called by the local “Shi Wozi (Stone Nest)”. The architect has been especially impressed by the exposed jagged precipice and steep cliff, which renders a presence of some kind of artificial nature with its old traces of quarrying. The new building includes an open-air amphitheater to provide community services for the surrounding villagers, such as public gatherings, cultural and leisure activities, to solve the long-term lack of public community space in the area, where music festivals, drama festivals and other activities can also be held, bringing vitality, economic income and public exchanges to the local area.
