LONELY PLANET
Floating Pavilion in Serpentine Gallery
English poet John Donne wrote: "No man is an island, Entire of itself, Every man is a piece of the continent, A part of the main." In modern society, we are easy to feel isolated. But have you noticed that now we are in the same pavilion, the same planet, and the same universe? Even each light has the same-origin----sunlight.
There are few human beings who are not attracted to shiny objects, and the deep blue light in the dark is irresistibly attractive.
In this area, you are the protagonist.
We hope that this beauty, generated by the small light of the sun's transformation, will heal the restless heart of everyone who enters this Pavilion at night. Each small bubble in the Pavilion is independent of each other, but it belongs to the whole. Every citizen interacting with it is like one of these bubbles, outwardly separated but close to each other, belonging to this lonely planet.
Diagrams
1.
Human activity and shadow
Because of the nature of translucent concrete, visitor could see the shadow of people who stand outside in the day. Light and shadow is opposite in the evening.
2. Light in day and night
During the day, the transparent luminescent solar concentrator acts as a window. Conversely, it will be a spot light for the interior lighting at night and diffuse light to outside.

Relationship of light
When visotor walk close to the bigger algae bubble, electric induction of spotlight will be slowly dimmed.

Double-Layer Bubble Structure
The little hole on the top of the inner layer is the only exit of the water containing noctiluca scintillans. As a result, the water will accumulate from the bottom of the bubble and go up when the bubble is fullfilled. In this way, the water can support the shape of the bubble.
Perspective views
The pavilion, which looks like the moon, will be built in the center of a square pool. The pool separates the pavilion from its context, while reflecting the hemispherical structure into a complete planet. The ground inside the hemispherical sphere is covered with an array of rubber bubbles filled with bioluminescent algae.
As night falls, the dark space in the pavilion will be framed by circles of light from panels embedded in the ceiling that store solar energy during the day. Just like spotlights on the stage.
Each area illuminates and accentuates a larger rubber bubble, and the small area indicates the individual's presence. Citizens who step into the pavilion can interact with the bubbles in the area, as the rubber membrane is squeezed, the algae inside is disturbed by the flow of water, and the energy stored in the algae during the day is once again excited in the form of light, emitting faint blue fluorescence.
