Ortus Artis Competition 2006, 2nd Prize  
 
    The project is the 2rd prized proposal redesigning one of the small garden of cells, namely "cell no25" measuring 29m in width and 19m in depth at the Carthusian Monastery of Padula which locates approximately 100 km south of Saleno, Italy. This architectural complex was started to build in 1306 and currently attracts over 200,000 visitors each year. The project proposes to bed mirrored "wood" boards made of stainless steel to reflect and refract a scenic backdrop of the city, Padula on the hillside: the scene continuously changes and moves as visitors sit, stand, lie, and walk.
