The site sits on three narrow strips of land opens to water views both in their front and back, provoking our senses toward mountain, water, sky and the field. Different situations of landform lead to possibilities of shaping various linear landscape experiences. Through the composition of a series of architectural viewing instruments each designed for different positions and viewing angles, the project intends to reverse the process of mo[ve]vie[w] and reframe our scenic experiences, exploring new conditions for our perceptions toward landscape, or mountain and water.
