What is intriguing is not the island or the canyon,but the amazing things behind and between them. Hidden in the gap between islands and canyon walls  are many thin and long cracks and openings that meander. Light, molecule, air flow, dust, and neoteny sustain within the negative space:Circulating, permeating, and dispersing into a Boltzmann Distribution Law-based micro-ecosystem. The gap between positive and negative.Tries to attain the positive value with the negative one.We try to find connections in the primitive philosophies of natural science, physics, biology and space. And construct a surreal interface through the deconstruction and abstraction of spaces to reveal the poetic wildness of nature. In the name of “Museum of Biodiversity”, Yunnan create a new public core and urban front cover: PARK CITY, making it an urban parlor of the Dianchi International Community, a new super demonstration area, and a answer to the mystery of biological order. The negative space is the critical gap between objects, i.e., the outlined space between entities when they are hollowed out. It is characterized by elements with unclear facets, which are deconstructed into multiple segments, discretely wandering and transmitting hidden information. The negative space has multiple extension values, and when integrated, they can create interesting spatial relationships. The「negative」can be expanded randomly, either defocused or missing. It denotes the gap in perception, the edge of the hidden which can be thoroughly and profoundly experienced in these narrow gaps behind and between. Erosion, fragment, negative value of weathered residual are metaphors of canyons and hidden forest.Deep in the glowing light, the outer softness and inner fullness are transformed into the form of a canyon.With a lobby, space is confined and divided into dimensions in different directions. When symmetry is abandoned, internal energy is defined and wildness in primal life returns.Through the caves, behind the canyon are amazing things hidden, the night firefights, tribes, rainforest, fountain, marsh and island… Just like a poetic forest courtyard breeding life’s abundance. On top of the irregular and polygonal building base, the prototype is dissolved and deconstructed by hollowing out free and random spheres, softening and reorganizing the spaces into a boundless forest.A spiritual space is created, where the sharp contrast between the tiny individuals and the boundless sky triggers respect for nature and reverence for life. The design takes the absence of "presence" as the starting point of thinking, and proceeds with the destruction of symbolic identity, the impossible perfect match between the signifier and the signified, and the subversion of structural centrality as the meaning chain of difference for the deduction and development of spatial logics. The opening in the sky defines "being" as "presence", and the primary presence breaks the original unitary order, thus giving rise to new meanings.
