︎︎︎ In the drawing 90 Ways To Draw a Line, we explored different ways to interact with the shape of the site through a line. The decision to choose scheme No. 51 is purely intuitive. The 90 lines can be conceived as a project as a whole, but each of them can also be developed separately into a building.
The space on the lower level is not completely enclosed. By introducing a gap between the ceiling and the wall, sunlight can enter the space, creating a sculpture-like shadow. This new spatial experience is designed to challenge the traditional way of drinking Tea and stimulate visitors' senses.
