Topography Analysis

Function & Circulation

Design Process

Simulate the trajectory of water naturally flow through the site based on terrain

Let water flow throughout the site without interfering it, the water system appeared.

Generate massing according to the space between waterways.

Corridors are created to connect buildings and site and improve accessiblity.

“Dao”

道法自然，无为而治 老子

Taoism follows nature Govern without interfering the natural rules. — Laozi

自然 - Nature

'Nature' refers to the natural respect and virtue of all things. The reason why "Dao" and "De" are respected and cherished by all things is because they do not impose commands or interfere with things, but allow the "nature" of all things, which indicates the inclusiveness of "Dao".

无为 - Inaction

The essence of inaction is to conform to natural changes, keep things in their natural nature, and not create them artificially, achieving the goal of "inaction without inaction". This can dispel the opposition between humans and nature and achieve inner peace

上善若水 — Fluid bodies 上善若水，水善利万物而不争。

—— 老子

The highest goodness is like water, which benefits all things and does not compete. — Laozi

As the main element, water connects seperated buildings and guides people's circulation.
