Monologue
This is the first work included in my portfolio and showcased on my website. It was inspired by memories of my childhood, spent relaxing in the courtyard, eating persimmons, and gazing at the full moon in autumn. There are certain mundane moments in life that we experience often, yet only once do we truly feel fully awake in them, almost as if observing from a third-person perspective.
Knowing that the site is located by a vast lake, I aimed to recreate this experience.
Wuhan, with a population of 11 million and an area of over 8,000 square kilometers (2,000,000 acres), is a major urban center both in population and territory. It also has the highest number of college students in China, totaling 1.68 million, and has attracted significant migration. In this densely populated context, East Lake, covering 33.7 square kilometers (8,000 acres), offers a vital green space.
The proposed pavilion, located on a slight incline by East Lake, aims to strengthen the connection between individuals and nature. It encourages visitors to slow down, engage with their surroundings, and experience moments of solitude, offering opportunities for interaction with nature through activities such as smelling the grass, immersing hands in water, or meditating under trees.

Section
The house is situated on a gentle slope, with a 0.6-meter difference in elevation between the lower and higher points.
I lowered the concrete foundation by 0.9 meters to slightly lower the perspective of the interior. By doing so, the inhabitants gain a fresh view of their familiar surroundings.
Additionally, this sunken interior further distinguishes the inside from the outside, fostering an atmosphere of isolation from the world.
