There are traditional Linpan in Sichuan Basin, modern agricultural plantation and large-scale supporting buildings around this paddy.

| Design Concept

It‘s our design theme to put artifacts in the natural environment and transform the rational geometry into the living organism.

We were fascinated by the scene of fog forms close to the Earth,and the fields are enveloped in gauze, in the early morning. In the early morning, fog forms close to the Earth, and the fields are enveloped in gauze. The full ears of rice hang heavily, and dewdrops hang from the grains. Everything would move with wind, and all those moments will be lost in fog.

A triangular array of metal meshes ,which creates the visual perception of the” fog”, It seems to be floating on the ground. The paddy was touched by the geometric “fog”. There seems to be few if any to look through the “fog”.

Regular Spaces and aisles are dug out of the “fog”, The rest of the architecture will be formed the outline of “fog”. It will become a space from the removed part, which will be transformed into the spatial pavilion. People could walk into the space and face to the paddy, moreover, they could enjoy the performance of field.
