This project explores the concept of architecture as a bridge connecting humanity and the environment. We seek to expand the idea of substance dualism to a broader perspective, emphasizing the interplay between the built and natural worlds. Through the representation of the pavilion, we aim to celebrate the profound influence of the prize sativa (Asian rice) seed, highlighting its cultural and historical significance.

 

This design serves not only as an homage to the enduring impact of this vital grain but also as a call to deepen our appreciation for the natural elements that shape our lives. By integrating symbolic representations and thoughtful design, the pavilion resonates with people, encouraging them to pause and reflect on the beauty and importance of the natural world around them. This project aspires to foster a renewed sense of connection and reverence for the environment that sustains and inspires us.
