Terabithia When the wind blew through the luxuriant forest and awoke the Terabithia above in the glow of a fading sunset, an experienced hunter returned to his cosy cabin. In the depths of the wilderness of Azerbaijan, there is an intriguing place, like an abstract tree structure containing an exquisite exhibition space, which could exude inestimable and unfathomable sense of tranquil and mystery. Since the outer structure of the semi-spiral timber imitated the giant tree trunk, softened the natural sunlight and poeticised the spatial ambiance. When the sunset, all things melting into a vague immensity, the atmosphere of the external facade is completely different from the inner world. It makes people hard to resist walking into the space and explore their own “eureka” moments after the outer roaming. Based on the composition of the hunter’s cabin, the exhibition space also organically decomposes the cabin into various functional areas, such as kitchen and bedroom. Different angles will receive completely different life scenes of the hunter. Additionally, the narrow inside space also dramatically draws people’s attention to the display of the cottage artworks. Eventually this exhibition space served as a wonderland that I called ‘Terabithia’. It accepts children to explore everywhere and doesn’t confine them to a specific area, providing adventure and sanctuary to pupil while engaging their bodies and minds. In Addition, it may also help adults find their childish disposition remain. No longer the cold glass showcase, no longer a piece of artwork that can only be seen from a distance with rigid fence. Terabithia lures one to the reverie. Visitors can enjoy the artwork close enough to fall into the legendary and riotous world of the hunter.
