They studied the abstract internal characteristics through the superficial images, so as to concern the life experience and the spiritual world presentation. Therefore, in the design of this case, we try to integrate the rationalism and academic spirit of Song Dynasty into the aesthetic construction of space, annotate nature and ritual order with artistic and modern morphemes, so that space reflects the thickness and temperature of humanity in rationality.
CHALLENGE: To achieve the delicate equilibrium between space art and commercial value, as well as to create a pure and elegant atmosphere.
