The Entropic Pilgrimage
This project aims to create a pilgrimage that prevails the artificial linear sequence of time and space, and restore the cyclical time and nested experience of space to humans.

01_Material and Life Cycle is all about researching the site in a physical and material way from what is available in the local environment. The natural materials: grass, reed, wood, soil, and stone, are then tested and used to build the Platform, the Tunnel, and the Tower, which resembles the stages of a human life, while simultaneously incorporate seasonal use for other species on site, using the tide as a control mechanism to control access.
02_The Ubiquitous Wade reveals the diasporic and migratory nature of the island. The geological formation of the other hometown of the wading birds that come to Two Tree Island are studied with more physical experiments using found materials. These conditions: High Arctic Tundra, Cliffed Coast, Sudd Marshes, Coastal Sand Dunes, and Thermokarst, are combined in response to the water and wind on site to form landscape interventions lasting 270 years into the future with the sea level rise.
The Entropic Pilgrimage utilises land forms, tidal variations, human and animal activities to shape the landscape, while the landscape reciprocates to reform the human mind. The micro design intervention of the pilgrimage walk overlays human life experiences with other lives on Two Tree Island through seasonal cycle; while the macro design of combining geological formations with malleable boundaries compiles the local with the global space extending into the future. Therefore, the meteorological, biological, and anthropological cycles are hybridised to form a nested experience of time and space. This experience through a multitude of time and places breaks away from the equilibrium and passes on the embodied knowledge of a more turbulent lifestyle in an ever-changing time.
