CONCEPT STATMENT

The concept endeavours to seamlessly merge nature with architectural design to conceive a unique pavilion for Japan. Utilizing simple colors and meticulously considering the skyline, the design aims to link the exterior and interior by elevating the building above ground level. Below the pavilion, an interactive space emerges, blending green elements inspired by the Zen style prevalent in Japan. At its core, the project revolves around the notion of a floating structure, supported by a glass rectangle to evoke a sense of lightness and simplicity. Additionally, drawings of red mountains adorn the destination, drawing inspiration from the art of Japanese ink painting.
