The collision between nature and machinery, the linkage of organic and inorganic worlds. People usually put modern machinery and nature on the opposite side. But in fact, the two can also complete each other. Sometimes modernization is not necessarily based on sacrificing nature. Our project is a good example. This model can be interpreted at different distances by different scales and thus different meanings. When people walk through the model, they seem to be immersed in a living machine where the present and the past are intertwined. Meanwhile, they can observe the changes and traces of the years passing by and feel the impact of the wisdom of modern and ancient pieces.
