Seeming to face a state of chaos and darkness, the enlightened wakes up before the dawn. Darkness is extreme, boundless, profound, and far-reaching beyond description. Out of instinct, it is a “space” has many characters that are hard to describe and being named “dark matter”. Of course, it does not require any explanation, just as “The divine law can be known, yet it may not be the law well-known to you.” This kind of indescribable feeling happens to have a past and future.
We “gaze” at civilization from the history of the West with Eastern peace and poetry. “All pearls, big or small, fall into the same plate.” The entire creation seems to cast different pearls into the same dark and chaotic emptiness, which naturally and organically from a series of independent space systems. Such kind of systems originates from the Eastern, poetic, and aesthetic “landscaping awareness.” Landscaping techniques of Chinese literary scholars such as connection, leaking, and space permeation relations are employed to create a substantial dark space out of the spatial tempo of the whole exhibition pavilion, just like in a dark dream. We seem to walk and loom in a free and easy “garden.” While “walking in the park,” we “wake from a dream.” It is an “awakening” dream. The “dark matter” is what “wakes us up from the dream.”
There is a limited capital budget to complete this project. We have had a short construction period with many design considerations for a public building, and to meet strict transition requirements for fire protection.
