Palasee II

2016

Acrylic and wood

It can be said that design is the soul of architecture. If the soul of the building can be extracted and placed before us, it will definitely catch people’s attention. The Dacheng Hall is a representation of that belief. By taking samples of 3-meter-tall palace doors, acrylic carved traced out their designs, when all the color is removed all that is left is the geometric design itself. Combined with modern materials and laser engraving technology, the traditional patterns are “projected” onto transparent material transporting the viewer through time.
