Vipassana the mountains and rivers

We are in the midst of a rapid, high frequency evolution of our society, an era that requires spiritual choices. People are accustomed to live in a blind illusion and don't know what to do, this spiritual scarcity comes from the self-perception under the fault line and the complexity and fragility of the heart, what kind of courage and attitude should we face all kinds of life situations , in the reality of life, I imagine that the values conveyed by the "relative spatial field" and the inclusiveness of space as a vehicle for life, mapping in silence the joys and sorrows arising from changing moods, we find ourselves between drinking tea, being alone, looking at each other and wandering, and then return to the depths of our heart and reconcile with it, which is the meaning of creating architectural space.

Entrance to the north, view wall, turn to the east along the road to the south, forming the dominant route through the space, mirrored water features stretch the scale of the space, mapping the layers and interest of the space in a circular flow, in a space where wood and stone are the main materials, At the same time, the water surface is like a mirror, cleansing and purifying the mind in the same way as the ordinary yet embracing spirit of tea, forming a dialogue of "looking at yourself" in the form of an unchanging medium. With the screen and column device as the spatial sense of guidance, combined with the natural stone paved with water to form a spatial route, with the natural texture and texture of the stone to express the color of temperature under the temperature contrast and the most direct spatial power.

Black charcoal wood has a high degree of moisture resistance and anti-corrosion and other environmental protection, with a deep and silent texture to express the atmosphere of the space, red columns are made of traditional handmade lacquer, and the artistic synthesis of the installation is expressed by the combination of handmade carvings and the relationship between reality and reality of the original wooden columns, the red symbolizes the passion and power, the red is the constant life force of the space, the collision of red and black colors presents a stronger and broader field and energy on top of the spatial volume with the romance of Qin Dynasty colors, space is looking forward to the real state of life, the association of living organisms, passing through this place, caressing columns and interacting with the touch of the fulfillment of wishes and expectations of the desire that is waiting to happen, just like a divine consolation.

Dialogue
The energy of the space should be embodied not only in the basic function, but also in the higher inclusiveness of the place above the function, as well as in the thoughts and dialogues generated, elaborating the concept of time with the flow of light and shadow, exuding the temperament and charisma of the space, and continuously nurturing its life value through human participation.
