This architectural space is situated in the middle of the forest. It is serene space where light, reflections, and the refraction of light play a central role. The light makes visible what is not immediately seen: the natural harmony of waves and patterns. 

​

The inspiration for this structure comes from the sine wave. This fundamental mathematical concept helps us understand the cyclical nature of phenomena, such as light waves, patterns in water, sound waves, seismic waves, and the movement of atoms. The building's roof gently rises and falls. When the sun is directly overhead, the color shifts and the enchantment of the refracted light becomes visible.

​

SIN▲TθPIUM questions the contrast between the artificial and the natural, and how they may be closer to each other than we think. It calls for reflection on the relationship between humans, nature, and the artificial.
