Tongji University Design Competition
From June 2nd to June 9th, 2024, six students worked together to create a pavilion inspired by a poem written by Yang Wanli.
Where two rivers meet
Confluence: the junction of two rivers, especially rivers of approximately equal width.
The pavilion fosters an interaction that begins without first impressions, as participants sit separated by a wall, unable to see one another.
Instead, their voices resonate through the space, weaving a tapestry of shared experiences as they describe what they perceive.
This auditory exchange transforms the act of communication into an intimate exploration of perspective, inviting individuals to connect on a deeper, more imaginative level.
