The design learns from nature. The spatial experience unfolds through six steps—Turn, Step Back, Transition, Slow Down, Light Leaks, and Heart. Two turns shift perspectives and lead into the hall; setback spaces form external exhibition areas where light flows naturally; folding creates spatial hierarchy that broadens horizons; a slower pace reveals the inner rhythm in light; cracks allow light to enter, symbolizing insight born from imperfection; and finally, the multifunctional hall concludes the journey as the spiritual axis, symbolizing wisdom and unity.
