tower of return
——future buddhist experience space


proface

To extract the two elements of light and shadeand emotion from the film "Uncle Boonmee WhoCan Find His Past Lives" as people walk into thecave, to explore the hidden relationship betweenlight and emotion, and to translate it into a spatialanguage,shaping a fluid space in which theatmosphere is controlled by light and shade.Combining the divine elements and the searchfor the origin of human beings in the film with the"three realms" of Buddhism, namely the "desirerealm","colour realm" and "colourless realm", theconcept investigates the possibility of arrangingthis path in Buddhist space, making full use of thevertical ascent of the pagoda building, comparingthe exploration of the cave to the process ofclimbing upwards and eventually finding one'ssoul, creating a future Buddhist experiential space.
