Reflection
Reflection
- Site-specific cases
"Reflection" is designed for Gensquare, a cultural space in Jiangmen, China, responding to a tubal opening in the space that brings light from the rooftop to the ground floor. In the piece, we extend the idea of inviting nature into humanmade architectural space and project natural scenes onto a water surface in the shape of a drop. When people touch the water, they will see clouds moving away, leaves falling, and their shadows blocking the scene. Silently and gently, we hint at the self-righteousness of human beings when they interact with nature. Moreover, as geopolitics, pandemic, and other social issues distance people from others, we aim to introduce warmth and softness indoors. Initiating dialogues among architecture, nature, and people, we emphasize human and non-human objects' mutual autonomy. We wish people would find therapies from interactions. We believe the communication between the space and its consumers is essential in the future development of architecture.
