FS: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept? LD: Apart from the rhythmic temperament of opening, gathering and dispersing, the key point of space is the appropriateness of each component, which not only fills the space with a dignified sense of ritual, but also forms the values of human, nature, architectural space and harmony.With very short timing, survey, design and construction happened at the same time. Efficient communication and mutual trust was the key to the success of the project. FS: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?
