It's a contemporary Buddhism temple based on the concept of reincarnation. The essence of Buddhism's Sutra is so called "formlessness". Based on this, the form searching of the architecture becomes the path from the beginning to the end. The prototype of Buddhism's temple is from ancient time and based on ancient tectonic and space defining logic. With the aid of digital design and fabrication techniques, the solution will have different possibilities.

Mobius ring is used as the metaphor of reincarnation in this design. The inner surface and outer surface meets in the same point seamlessly. This process is just like the reincarnation in Buddhism. Circulation revolves from outside to inside through the space just like the reincarnation through different life forms.

Wings of Steel is a chair that plays with angles and curves, lightness and stability, opacity and transparency. From the side it seems to stand on tip toe before taking flight. The spaces between the strips create surprising optical patterns which continually change with the angle of light. Constructed from laser cut steel strips and powder coated for durability and variety of colors.
