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 where emotions transition seamlessly from one state to another. Visitors enter through spaces evoking grief (heavier materials, darker tones, compressed volumes) and gradually transition to serenity (lighter, more open, with natural light). The architecture itself becomes an emotional regulation device.

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"——这是人们日常生活中最频繁出现的两种情绪。设计以莫比乌斯带为空间组织原则——一个连续的、不可定向的表面，情绪在其上从一个状态无缝过渡到另一个状态。

We guide visitors through this journey via the empty and silent mountains and rocks, beach, ocean landscape, and through natural and artificial light within the interior and exterior spaces. The remote Outer Hebrides landscape becomes an integral part of the emotional narrative — the raw, wind-swept terrain mirroring the emotional states of grief and serenity.

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

我们通过空旷寂静的山岩、海滩、海洋景观，以及室内外空间中的自然和人工光线，引导人们完成这段旅程。遥远的赫布里底群岛景观成为情感叙事中不可或缺的部分。
