The concept originated from artist Chen Yujun’s experience in an abandoned villa. He hoped that architects could reconstruct this experience within the Long Museum. Responding to the circulation and the monumental scale of the Long Museum, scenographic design strategies were employed to create five sequential scenarios, forming a spatial progression from compression to openness.

Visitors first enter the “Indoor Pool,” the core space of the abandoned villa, and then move into “Concentrated Elements,” where components of the villa are used to organize and define the space. The third area is the “Semi-Outdoor Space,” after which visitors pass along the “Mulan River” and arrive at the “Forest.” In the “Forest” space, the entire environment is composed and articulated through the artist’s painting series Growing.
