Second entrance – Ritual sequence corridor
At the second entrance, the traditional roof shape is enhanced by lighting, the sense of spatial hierarchy is formed combining with Ma Tau Walls which are well-arranged. And the appropriate blank inspires unlimited imagination.
In order to realize the artistic conception of “Blue brick small tile and Ma Tau Walls, the corridor hung with lattice windows.” in the corridor, the whole plane of window frames composed by unit modulars combines with inclination embedded light strip in the limited size. And the general stereoscopic and layered are enhanced by lights so as to appear the natural texture of the wooden material.
Third entrance – Landscape garden
The third entrance is mainly concerned on the virtual and real. Through the vertical metal mesh screen and wooden adjustable grid wall, the other side can be seen vaguely, but without clear and entire scene of landscape, letting people stand in this environment with curiosity.
