The Design

About The Joy Of Swimming Fish Ausstellungsraum Die Freude schwimmender Fische

Die Raumgestaltung verbindet Raumelemente mit der poetisch-logischen Debatte und dem romantischen Denken aus dem „Teich-Dialog" und verwendet „die Freude schwimmender Fische" als Gestaltungskonzept. Sie drückt dialektisches philosophisches Denken durch räumliche Darstellung aus und vermittelt Denkweisen, während sie den Charme der östlichen Philosophie im Raum entfaltet. Fließende Kurven und dynamische Strukturen simulieren frei im Wasser gleitende Fische und schaffen eine lebendige Atmosphäre. Diese Gestaltung lädt Besucher ein, den Raum zu erkunden und über die Harmonie zwischen Natur und Menschheit nachzudenken.

Production Technology
By employing flowing curves and dynamic spatial structures, the design aims to simulate the state of fish swimming freely in water, creating a lively and poetic atmosphere.
Design Challenge
The challenge lies in how to express the essence of the story, depict the debate process between Zhuangzi and Huizi, while also ensuring the practicality of the space.
Research
When I am in this space, how can I perceive the joy of the fish, both as the fish swimming below and as the observer above, thus achieving a moment of unity between myself and the surroundings?
Inspiration
Huizi said,'You are not a fish; how do you know what constitutes the enjoyment of fishes?' Zhuangzi rejoined, 'You are not I. How do you know that I do not know what constitutes the enjoyment of fishes?'
Project Duration
The project started in October 2021 in Shanghai and finished in June 2023.
Operation Flow
In the concept of "the joy of swimming fish," the verb "swim" not only refers to the activity of the fish but also connects the interaction and communication between the two observers. This allows visitors to not only appreciate the art but also to profoundly reflect on the relationship between humanity and nature, as well as the individual and society, symbolizing the harmony between nature and life. By integrating the Eastern philosophical concepts of harmony between humanity and nature, and dialectical unity, it creates an environment that embodies both aesthetic and educational significance.
