【設計概念】：
The concept of the temple is a dialog between the two existing challenges: How to reinterpret the traditional earth god temple in a city of the 21st century, and how to place it and convert it into a center of activity in the context of the city?
Besides its religious function, the temple offers a whole new activity platform to the city, ranging from farmers markets, art exhibitions, outdoor cinema, over lectures, workshops, concerts, theater-plays to religious events and musical festivals. The key to this multipurposity is the layout – 2 pavilions – temple pavilion and activity pavilion – connected through a plaza, which also acts as the pass through space between street and park, and the whole complex added by a stage. The facades are a system of movable bamboo pannels, providing free airflow but reflecting the sun. They can be moved in any configuration to open up, or totally closed to shade down the pavilions.The two pavilions are connected in the basement by storage and sanitary facilities, and by a linking bridge on the 2nd floor for a smooth circulation.
