Abstract:
At a time when pace of life is accelerating and stress of work intensifying, Zen philosophy can help bring calm to our mind, mood, and body with the much-needed soothing and relaxing effects. Hence, teahouses designed with the incorporation of Zenism have become popular in China in recent years. The new style of teahouses applies basic principles in the innovative design that showcases the artistic atmosphere for tea ceremony performance, as well as in the meticulous construction that employs state-of-the-art technologies to maximize the meditating functions, spatial unification, and display coordination conveyed through the layout, structure, and decoration. A brand-new Chinese style "Boundless Teahouse" has been created for people to appreciate and enjoy.
