Unique Properties: The exhibition space design of "The Joy of Swimming Fish" matches the space design with the poetic and logical debate and the thinking mode with romantic style in the ancient Chinese philosophy story "Pond Dialogue",It extracts "the joy of swimming fish" as the concept of the space design. The uniqueness of the exhibition space lies in its profound cultural heritage and the perfect integration of modern design.
Dimensions & Packaging: The design is situated within a rectangular glass structure, aimed at highlighting the curved characteristics of the interior space and enhancing its breathability. The building comprises a first floor and a second floor, with dimensions of 21.5 meters in length, 8.2 meters in height, and 13.3 meters in width.Site area：285.95 sqm
Tags: Fluidity, Pond Dialogue, Space, Philosophical Thought,Nature
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.
