Atelier OPA

We are a design trio. We find solutions to design, art, architecture and education. In this project, we pursue and express the beauty, wonder and coolness of water. The proverb of Taoism says, “Jouzen ha mizu no gotoshi.” Water tells us the ideal way of life. First, water is flexible. Water assumes the shape of its vessel. Second, water is so humble that it will flow downward to any place. Third, water has the potential ability to break rock when it creates streams. Playing moments of fountain rings remind us of such a spontaneous way of life.
