Angsila Oyster Scaffolding Pavilion

Located off the coast of the Angsila fishing village, in Chonburi Province, Thailand, this prototype designed to boost ecotourism draws on the bamboo scaffolding traditionally used for oyster cultivation. The local fishermen bring people visiting Angsila to this pavilion for the experience of tasting truly fresh oysters, a sea-to-table gastronomic adventure in a remarkable setting. The structure was built by Angsila fishermen themselves through vernacular techniques of building with bamboo in shallow water, driving each bamboo column into the ocean floor.
