Grandeur and Richness.
That is what you see when you look at the Hong tower.
A tower made by lines which cross each other until the top,
like a street map of a big city. Chaos, appearance, mask, tradition,
extreme, frenzy, black and white. These are the key words of
my pavilion. What you see is just appearance, it’s not real.
The pavilion is surrendered by transparent walls; through
these walls it’s possible to see the real face of the Hong tower:
monotony, coldness and sadness. Everything looks the same,
there is no movement, no change.

'hong' form Chinese= grandeur
