The inspiration for this structure originates from the sine wave, a fundamental mathematical concept that helps us understand the cyclical nature in the world, such as the waves of light, patterns in water, sound waves, seismic waves, and the movement of atoms. The roof of the building gently undulates. At the moment when the sun is directly above the space, the color shades and the enchantment of the broken light become visible. 

SIN▲TθPIUM asks us questions about the dichotomy between the artificial and the natural, and how these may be closer to each other than we think. It invites reflection on the relationship between humanity, nature, and the artificial.
