Infinitas

Project Overview

Emotions are progressive and transitional, but the fast pace of modern life makes people quickly switch between fiercely conflicting emotions, and calm emotions seem to be treated with indifference. Infinitas is a journey through the Möbius space of emotions, guiding visitors to re-experience the transformation of emotions through an architecture that moves beyond polarities.

情感是渐进且过渡的，但现代生活的快节奏使人们在激烈冲突的情感间快速切换，平静的情感似乎被漠视。Infinitas 是一场穿越情感莫比乌斯空间的旅程，引导人们通过建筑重新体验情感的转变。

As a preliminary investigation, we selected the opposing emotions GRIEF and SERENITY from Plutchik's Model of Emotions — the most frequent in people's daily lives. By describing the perceptions, feelings, physiological changes and behaviours of people in these emotional states, we extracted key information from the four main directions of colour, material, spatial form and behaviour.

The design uses a Möbius strip as the spatial organizing principle — a continuous, non-orientable surface without a fixed beginning or end. Two physical entrances each open into two possible directions, allowing visitors to move from grief toward serenity, from serenity toward grief, or through the more complex emotions that emerge between them. Space influences emotion, while a visitor's existing emotional state also changes how the same space is understood.

作为初步研究，我们从 Plutchik 情感模型中选择了对立情绪“悲伤”与“宁静”。设计以没有固定起点与终点的莫比乌斯带为空间组织原则。两个物理入口分别通向两条方向，访客既可以从悲伤走向宁静，也可以从宁静走向悲伤，并在循环中经历更多复杂情绪。空间影响情绪，而访客已有的情绪也会改变他们对同一空间的理解。

Visitors move through empty and silent mountains and rocks, beach and ocean landscape, and natural and artificial light across the interior and exterior spaces. The remote Outer Hebrides landscape becomes part of the emotional narrative, but the journey does not prescribe a single direction or emotional outcome.

Key spatial moments include:

— GRIEF chamber: darker materials, compressed ceiling heights, controlled lighting
— Transition zone: the Möbius twist — gradual shift in atmosphere
— SERENITY hall: expansive volume, natural light, views to the landscape
— Reflection courtyard: open to sky, water element

访客穿行于空旷寂静的山岩、海滩、海洋景观，以及室内外的自然与人工光线之间。遥远的赫布里底群岛景观成为情感叙事的一部分，但旅程不规定唯一方向，也不预设情绪结果。
