Nesting Plan IX Dragon
The Nesting Plan series learns from the architectural expertise of the animal builders inhabiting each site, interpreting their nesting techniques through human construction materials and craftsmanship as a tribute to their remarkable natural instincts.
This time, the project takes place in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia — 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 “dragon” as the subject of the nesting plan for the first time.
Drawing from depictions of dragons in legends, ancient paintings, films, and childhood memories, the artist 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’s famous Dragon Bridge, the artist envisioned the nest’s materials, interior space, and entrance dimensions, and created this imagined dragon’s 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.
This work of art is commissioned by The Wellbeing Project for the Global Hearth Summit 2025.

築巢計畫IX 龍
《築巢計畫》系列創作向棲息在基地中的動物建築師學習牠們的築巢方式，並以人類的構築材料與技藝詮釋，向牠們精彩的天賦本能致敬。
這次的創作地點位於斯洛維尼亞（Slovenia）的首都盧比安納（Ljubljana）—一座將龍視為守護者與精神象徵、擁有「龍城」（Dragon City）美稱的城市。藝術家范承宗以這裡的龍文化為靈感，首次以神話生物「龍」為題材展開築巢計畫。
透過捕捉傳說故事、古老畫作、電影與童年記憶中對龍的各種描繪，想像著一隻會飛翔、力量強大、能夠抓起岩石的龍，棲息在其他生物難以抵達、植物不易生長的嚴峻環境中，並根據當地著名景點——龍橋（Dragon Bridge）上四隻綠色銅龍雕塑的體型與利爪，推想出巢穴的構成材料、內部容積與洞口尺寸，築起這座龍的棲所。
這件作品能夠移地安裝，所有零組件都能拆卸重複使用，能夠組合成桌椅、家具，延續各種應用的可能。它是一份獻給盧比安納與龍的禮物，也是神話與想像的棲身之處。
