自然的感知

Designed as an information center for SINICA, the pavilion will be used to host receptions, thesis presentation, academic seminar as well as ecological exhibition space. The pavilion situates in the ecological restoration area on Academia SINICA compound. In respect of the veteran trees, organic layout morphed accordingly to minimalize the impact upon them. Potted atriums bridge the peripheral woods and extend the foliage view. Plants within reach are yet another vivid display of nature.
Roaming inside the pavilion, a series of ambiguous spatial illusions could be easily perceived along the wall’s shifting opacity. The exhibition starts before one enters the pavilion: the landscape reflected on the glass overlaps the exhibits display behind, and such fusion of external mirage and internal objects is equivocally intriguing to those stands afar. Thus, the distinction among architecture, landscape and exhibition has been vaguely redefined.
“Pocket space”, including main hall, reception, exhibition area, illustration area and screening room, individually independent, assembles a series of continuous space altogether. Not physically disrupting the integrity of interior and exterior, still the pavilion perceivably blurred the boundary answering to primal crave for nature.
