# About the psychology Stage of Mirror

# Study of mirror Projection of movies

Looking-glass self

The self recognised in the mirror is not real, but an illusion in the mirror.

- Fight club

We who have been living in the "mirror" all our lives, do we have a chance to escape?

- The Truman Show

Respond to another self

Vision in the mirror

Chase !

The purpose of these two psychological theories is mainly to explain how to transform from a biological individual into a social person.

- Inception

An individual's concept of himself is based on the reactions and perceptions of others.

SPACE EXPERIENCES

Miss !

I can see but I can’t touch.

Always going in circles....

Make some eye-contacts between people.

Never run into each other.

I am different from everyone else.

Design concept from the movie "Rear Window".

# Escape

# Lost

I want to escape from here.

Forget about everything and come to this world.

Books can be my clues!

I need clues to find my way.

Now I can find the true self.

It's a MIRROR, you're still who you are, but you're not who you are anymore

Enjoy yourself!

Step into this maze and go to the world you want to reach!

Who do you want to meet?

Step into the true self.

AN ENCOUNTER Walking into the coffee shop in front of me, there is a hidden staircase behind the wall.

What's upstairs?

To my surprise, it's a bookstore hidden inside the coffee shop's exterior.

The central staircase is integrated with bookshelves, allowing one to glimpse others through the cracks between books.Sunlight filters through the small windows and fills the interior, creating a cosy space perfect for reading.

Although this hidden bookstore is not big, it has many hidden nooks for reading. The warmth of the wood contrasts with the stiffness of the white cement walls, creating a quiet and comfortable space.

EXPLORE THE UNEXPECTED Entering through the arch-shaped tunnel, it is a world different from the street.

The atrium is filled with trees, and there are other buildings to explore... / Walking to a big staircase, I walked up to the platform and found that it was a coffee take-out counter and pretended to buy a cup of coffee.

What is inside this building?

THE ESCAPE From the top floor of the bookstore, I stepped outside and found many people chatting and socialising.

The lush greens of the trees and flowers provided a refreshing escape from the monotony of daily life. For a moment, it felt as though I had escaped from the confines of reality. / Emerging from a narrow staircase, I stepped out onto a spacious platform where I could feel the presence of towering trees and observe the bustling street below. It was as if I had caught a glimpse of my everyday life.

THE ELEVATION

What’s in the Mirror ?

The two sides of the building have two different expressions.

The north side with walls and glass bridges.

The cut of the building and moving lines are more free.

URBAN DAILY LIFE In part of the landscape, I planned two routes from my design to Nishi Honganji Temple; one is a relatively large passage, and the other is a path meandering among the plants, allowing people to choose whether they want to be seen or not.

The other side is urban daily life, with repetitive elements, and from the perspective of pedestrians looking up, the buildings behind will be blocked by trees.

THE PROGRAMME This design programme is a cultural and creative centre, which must include studios, shops, classrooms, factories, exhibition spaces and performance centres. I used the properties of the base to configure the floor plan.

The west side of the base is the Yongle Market, and more people will enter from this side, so I designed a more layered facade. On the right side facing the main road, there are more cars, so I made a continuous facade with the neighbouring houses.

The first and second floors of the basement are parking lots. I have arranged a total of 28 general parking spaces, 16 locomotive parking spaces, and 15 unloading parking spaces. I arranged the elevator room on the east side. The first floor is a relatively open area. I created a semi-open shopping street, with two nodes where people can stop and rest, and designed some shade, so people can go to the other side while shopping.

The second and third floors are divided into three buildings, which can be accessed by different stairs.

The main space is the factory and the lecture and exhibition space. The fourth floor is a large platform connecting all the buildings. People can walk from the building to the outside platform to bask in the sun and also to another building.

APPLICATION IN THE CITY What role can this air-filled movable device play in the city?

Because of its mobility and convenience, the structural and lightweight rods and air are easy to move, and the mobility of openings and closings can also be used in the design of people and the environment.

I want to create a space where the residents cannot be disturbed by tourists and visitors can integrate into the local cultural atmosphere.

Hence, I made this model, and I designed it based on the stair-shaped terrain and correspondingly, the concept of the architecture is torn and the road exposed. The walls near the path are transparent or translucent like metal plates with holes or a wall with small square windows. At night, the indoor lights are the main source of light for the path, so if people walk or stand inside near the window, their shadow will be on the path outside, thus there will be many shadows of people and real tourists on the path at night.
