Teshima Gallery I  Sanaa  I  TESHIMA  I   Water &  observation

Water: observation

There are two lower ground inside the gallery and actually collect the water drop from the underground pipe. A special technique use on the surface of the floor and help the water drop maintain a perfect round, crystal-like drop. People are sitting there and observation the small drop coms out and mix the other and become larger hence to form a “lake”. When the “lake” were heavy enough and began to flush, they will flow into the “sea” in the lower ground. Sometime they will flow back into the ground when the water meet the hold on their way to the sea.

Rain water: observation and tranquility

There were two round openings at the top of the gallery, the rain water came straight through the interior and reach the lower ground as well as the light. The gentle rain keep going and motivate the soft light in the cloudy day.

Garden of fine art  I  Tadao Ando  I  KYOTO  I  Water & Layer 

Surrounding by the water

Water: the fall and the sound of the water actually layering the whole gallery

On the entrance, where there is no fall of the water, feel quite and create a still feeling for the fine art work “water Lilies: morning” where it laid down in the water.

When go one step down the gallery, water fall down to a certain high, sound are created and creative an joyful atmosphere for the fine art work “On the Terrace” where the collection fix in the middle of the stone walls which were stand in the water.

Slightly going down and reach the lower part of the gallery, where there was a great fall of the water. The great sound of the water created a majestic feeling for the religious painting “Last judgement”.

Where they’ve got flat road to maintain the still, slope to enlarge the feeling of the sound volume and platform to narrow the great sound feeling.
