01 INCEPTION The traditional movie is a process of passive acceptance, which is experienced by the audience through vision and hearing. I want to design a theater, hoping that the audience can actively participate in the movie in various ways, not only through vision and hearing.

PLOT

Since the British immersive drama "SLEEP NO MORE" was wellreceived in the 2011 performance. Immersive drama becomes popular. It breaks the distance between the original stage and the audience and allows the audience to participate. In terms of spatial form, the immersive theater has also broken the space arrangement of the traditional theater. It is a very interesting proposition to use space more suitable for the scene of the script. The script I chose is the movie "Inception". The plot is rich and compact while showing the scenes of reality, dreams, and the relationship between several layers of dreams. The audience can choose to follow different roles in the process to advance the plot.

MAZE

This is the first room that the audience sees when they enter the theater and the last room that they pass through before they leave. There are intricate Japanese staircases and rooms where the audience can watch the actors from different heights. This is the key to the whole story of the theater.

WORKSHOP

This is where the protagonists plan their dreams. Here, for the first time, the elements associated with dreams appear. Mirrors, by means of rotating mirrors, make simple Spaces complex and distorted.

BAR

This is a space that is open to the outside world where the protagonist is looking for the help of his friends so this is a space for connection.

02 URAMICHI “ 裏道 ” After the pursuit of the complex peak has passed, the pursuit of the original self will begin. This is a therme at the intersection of fashion and history, allowing people to abandon their appearance and face themselves. Contrary to Omotesando" 表 参 道 ", which pursues fashion, what is pursued here is inner simplicity, so it is the Uramichi" 裏道 ".



LOCATION There are many flagship stores of major fashion brands gathered on Omotesando. Nearby Takeshita Street presents Harajuku culture that young people like. There are many fashion culture styles around here. It is an intersection of cultural fusion.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Japan was still in a very traditional period. After World War I and World War II, Japan was influenced by the United States. In the 1960s, Omotesando developed into a street where fashion brands gathered. In the second half of the 20th century, local Japanese designers began to rise and gradually formed a unique style. After entering the 21st century, Japan began to pursue national traditional culture. The design of the Olympic venues also chose a traditional design.

04 IN SOLITUDE Different environments can affect people's emotions. For example, rainy days may make people more lonely, but sunny days may not. This is a monster looking for loneliness. He is trying to express loneliness in space, attracting lonely people into it, confiding in him, and even indulging in it.


Mr.C He always stays alone. He thought he liked being alone. In fact, he is lonely.

Vilniemi is by the Karjalohjanselkä surrounded by forest. There is no city around, only a few families are scattered in the forest. No traffic, no crowds.


*Nation The United Nations announced the "Global Happiness Report 2019", Finland's happiness index is the first, this is the second time it has topped the list. However, what is chilling is that this country has other data that makes us feel incredible. Ninety percent of Finnish citizens have suffered from depression and social disorders, 10% of young people suffer from depression and anxiety of varying degrees, and 50% of them have not been treated. Currently, more than 5% of Finland’s population suffers from depression. One-third of Finland is within the Arctic Circle, with long winters and nights. As the temperature drops, the sun is getting less and less, and people start to feel depressed.

Finland's forest coverage is about 80%, about 22.82 million hectares, 4.2 hectares per capita.

*Population The population density of Finland is extremely low. Compared to Japan, which is about the same size as its country, the population density of Finland is only one-tenth of that. It is very common for a city to be empty on the streets. Besides, Finland’s forest coverage rate is as high as 80%. Finnish forests are a rare beauty, but living there seems to be isolated from the world.

"For someone this is how the world has always felt. Show the lonely.They are not alone."

*Society The University of Pittsburgh surveyed young people aged 19 to 32 and found that heavy users of social networks are more likely to be lonely. Because they can always see the status of familiar or unfamiliar friends, and everyone's performance on social networks will look better than in their real lives. These beautiful things can easily highlight their loneliness.

Comparison of country population, country area and population density 7868.6 Person/km2 Million

Therefore, social networks have exacerbated our loneliness. Moreover, this loneliness will continue to enter a cycle of self-reinforcing: To prove that we are not outlier and lonely, we will publish our beautiful state on the Internet, and then receive a lot of likes without accident, which makes us sure that others are paying attention to me, which makes us lonely Feeling soothed. However, this kind of very easy comfort does not last long, because we do not really feel the presence of each other, and we dare not leave our mobile phones because that is the only evidence that we are still in the group. Long-term loneliness can cause great harm to the body. John Cacioppo, a professor of psychology at the University of Chicago, pointed out that loneliness weakens the immune system and makes us more likely to get sick. For example, the prevalence of the cardiovascular disease in lonely people is three times that of normal people, and their lifestyle increases the incidence of cancer by 2~ 3 times. Not to mention, the psychological damage caused by loneliness makes us more vulnerable.

Because of the lonely environment, Mr.C was immersed in the inner world more and more deeply.

In his inner world, a few pieces appeared.

The pieces shimmered. They grow gradually and connect with each other.

Eventually, they become a space by the river and glowing pieces gather in the depths, enticing Mr.C to enter.

*on the Shore It is a creature in the water. Stretch out its "hand" to the land and seek the company of humans. It attracts people passing by the forest to find it, enter it, and take their solitude as food.


*under the Water It is architecture. Just like a stone. It allows people to enter the water without actually entering. One day no one will come again. It lost its food, became rigid, and became a fish residence.
