Part I, ‘Find Shan-shui in London’ : London’s skyline is translated into shan-shui ink panels; 1-point laser surveys set the geometry, while dilute carbon ink maps human scale against steel “mountains.”
Part II, ‘Imagine a Tea House for an Ideal World’: AI generative design iterates a glass-tile roof and laminated-bamboo envelope; outputs are rendered at 24 fps and composited into Sora video loops.Part III, ‘Haven in the Concrete Grove’, slips that pavilion between towers, its soft glow a breathing pause in the city’s sentence. Together, the trilogy asks how architecture can gift calm, ritual, and connection inside the concrete rush.
