This kind of isolated while linked space shows a solemn sense of field to a certain extent, while providing more experience scale to visitors.This kind of vague division is a false impression intentionally made by the designer. However, there is always light at the end of the tunnel, even the unconventional imagination, but life itself should always have surprises, why not?
