The Wall's Path Introduction
Chiayi Park is a work of art rich in philosophical meaning. To create a unique and beautiful style, it showcases elements commonly found in Minnan architecture through the construction of the "Wall of the Way." Its design features platforms based on heavenly and earthly altars, symbolizing respect for the celestial movements. The principle of repeated units is utilized in a staggered arrangement, highlighting the spatial characteristic of seeking change within sameness. The "Heavenly Round and Earthly Square" entrance hall, along with the hexagonal path in a bagua pattern and circular arches, align with the profound cosmology and life philosophy that Han people have held for thousands of years. The surrounding wall is designed as a low and short "Cloud Wall," which is easy to traverse. The "Cloud Wall" can be used for sitting or lying down, walking or playing, transforming its role from a mere barrier to a lively, flowing dragon, full of vitality and distinctiveness.
