「潛昆侖」重釋光、水、自然與未來
” Diving in Kunlun “ Reinterpreting Light, Water, Nature, and the Future
如一道自昆侖潛行而下的水脈，彙天地之光、聚自然之息，穿行於空間之間。光影流轉，水流輕吟，萬物靜默生長。設計以水為徑、以光為序，將東方哲思注入建築，讓中華文明與 798 工業肌理在此相融，開啟一段關於光、水、自然與未來的詩意敘事。
Like a hidden stream descending from the mythical Mount Kunlun, it channels the radiance of the universe and the whisper of nature as it winds through space. Here, light dances with shadow, water murmurs in gentle reverie, and all beings thrive in quiet serenity. Taking water as its path and light as its rhythm, this design inscribes Eastern philosophy into architecture—a place where the depth of Chinese civilization meets the industrial soul of 798, unfolding a poetic dialogue between light, water, nature, and the future.
概況 | Project Description
科勒（Kohler）創立 KEC 科勒體驗中心（Kohler Experience Center），旨在打破傳統零售模式，為全球建築師、設計師與消費者打造全方位、零距離的產品互動平台。科勒對 KEC 的城市選址與主創建築師均秉持嚴苛的戰略標準，優先布局紐約、倫敦、香港、北京、台北、曼穀、新加坡等具備國際影響力的全球設計樞紐；各地 KEC 均邀請享譽國際或斬獲重要設計獎項的頂尖跨界建築師擔任主創，以沉浸式場景營造為核心，善用活水係統與複雜光影設計，將衛浴產品從功能陳設升華為詩意空間藝術，並將品牌百年工藝與在地文化符號、創新材質深度融合，使空間不僅是賣場，更是工藝與藝術的策展，最終成為兼具在地美學與文化內涵的城市設計地標。
Kohler established the KEC (Kohler Experience Center) with the vision of transcending traditional retail models, creating a comprehensive and immersive platform for architects, designers, and consumers worldwide to interact with its products up close.
Kohler adheres to a rigorous strategic criterion when selecting both the host city and the lead architect for each KEC. Priority is given to globally influential design hubs such as New York, London, Hong Kong, Beijing, Taipei, Bangkok, and Singapore. For each location, Kohler invites world-renowned, award-winning cross-border architects to lead the design. Centered on immersive scenography, these spaces masterfully utilize living water systems and complex Light and Shadow designs to elevate bathroom products from functional fixtures into poetic spatial art.
By deeply integrating the brand’s century-old craftsmanship with local cultural symbols and innovative materials, the KEC transforms the space from a mere showroom into a curated exhibition of craftsmanship and art. Ultimately, it aspires to become a landmark of urban design that embodies both local aesthetics and cultural depth.
科勒 KOHLER 體驗中心坐落於北京 798 藝術區核心地段，委任建築師林琮然,設計以東方文化與當代藝術為語境，構築一處兼具創意表達與公共屬性的多元體驗場域，使之成為融彙東方哲思與先鋒創新、兼具文化深度與設計高度的全球新地標。
KOHLER Experience Center is in the heart of Beijing’s 798 Art District. Commissioned by architect C.R.LIN, the design is contextualized within Eastern culture and contemporary art, creating a diverse experiential space that embodies both creative expression and public engagement. It aims to become a new global landmark that integrates Eastern philosophical thought with pioneering innovation, offering both cultural depth and design excellence.

從《水經注》到「潛昆侖」
From“ Commentary on the Waterways Classic” to “Diving in Kunlun”
水是人類文明與生命的核心載體，其意義早已超越日常功用。《水經注》有雲：“河出昆侖，伏流地中萬三千裏，至於積石，始入人間”。這種 “自高而下、潛行複現” 的水文邏輯，正是東方文明對水與天地循環的深刻認知。林琮然以此為靈感，以「潛昆侖」為核心概念，以建築與空間敘事重新詮釋水、人與自然的內在關聯，展開一場從文明源頭到未來生活的探索。
Water serves as the fundamental carrier of both human civilization and life itself, its significance extending far beyond daily utility. As recorded in the “Commentary on the Waterways Classic”: “The Yellow River originates from Kunlun, flowing underground for thirteen thousand li before emerging at Jishi Mountain to enter the human realm.” This hydrological principle of “descending from heights, flowing concealed, and reemerging” embodies Eastern civilization’s profound understanding of water’s role in the cyclical dynamics of heaven and earth. Drawing inspiration from this ancient wisdom, C.R.LIN adopts “Submerged Kunlun” as his core concept, reinterpreting the intrinsic relationship between water, humanity, and nature through architectural and spatial narrative. This exploration traces a journey from the origins of civilization to the possibilities of future living.
在東方古典宇宙觀中，昆侖並非單純地理符號，而是天地秩序與文明起源的精神象征。「潛昆侖」概念跳出具象地理指涉，回歸《水經注》與中華文明一脈相承的“天人合一” 精神，將昆侖解讀為文明生發的初始狀態與內在法則。
In classical Eastern cosmology, Kunlun is not merely a geographical symbol but a spiritual representation of the cosmic order and the origin of civilization. The concept of “Diving Kunlun” transcends literal geographical references, returning to the spirit of “harmony between heaven and humanity” that has been passed down through the “Commentary on the Waterways Classic” and Chinese civilization. It interprets Kunlun as the primordial state and intrinsic law from which civilization emerges.
設計將神話中水與生命的關係，與科勒百年探索精神相結合，把空間視作水孕萬物、由外而內、自上而下、循環不息的動態過程。以此構建 “天道（日光）— 地道（水、自然）— 人道（未來）” 的完整敘事，形成「光 — 水 — 自然 — 超未來」四重體驗層級，以五感空間演繹中華水文明意境，成就一場從天人合一到敢創無界的沉浸式旅程。
The design integrates the mythological relationship between water and life with KOHLER’s century-long spirit of exploration, envisioning the space as a dynamic process where water nurtures all things—a continuous cycle that flows from outside to inside, from above to below. This constructs a complete narrative of “Heaven (sunlight) Earth (water, nature) Humanity (future),” forming a four-tiered experiential hierarchy of “Light — Water — Nature — Beyond the Future.” Through a multi-sensory spatial experience, it interprets the artistic conception of Chinese water civilization, creating an immersive journey that evolves from the unity of heaven and humanity to the boundless realm of fearless innovation.

水紋沁入工業記憶
Water Ripples Permeating Industrial Memory
∇ 正立麵外觀
不改變原建築風貌下,保留 798 標誌性紅磚肌理，外立麵以流動的不鏽鋼抽象水紋覆蓋，不摹擬具體河流，而是隱喻文明如水流綿延演進。不鏽鋼的輕盈與紅磚的厚重形成對話，在光影間呈現波光動態，詮釋 “水德含和，變通在我” 的東方哲思。
While preserving the original architectural character and retaining the iconic red brick texture of 798, the facade is clad in flowing stainless steel abstracted water ripples. Rather than imitating specific rivers, this design metaphorically represents the continuous evolution of civilization, much like the enduring flow of water. The lightness of the stainless steel engages in a dialogue with the solidity of the red brick, creating shimmering dynamics under light and shadow. This interprets the Eastern philosophy that “Water embodies harmony, and adaptation lies within oneself.”

外立麵水紋與室內貫通天地的旋梯結構形成內外同構，如同連接天地的中軸，隱喻能量與文明循環不息的流動態勢。二者共同構築立體流動的空間敘事，將《水經注》中昆侖之水 “潛行地下” 的意象轉譯為當代建築語言，引導觀者由外入內、溯流而上，探尋精神源頭。
The water ripple facade and the vertical spiral structure that connects heaven and earth within the interior form an isomorphic relationship between inside and outside. This spiral functions like an axis linking heaven and earth, metaphorically representing the continuous flow of energy and the cyclical nature of civilization. Together, they construct a three-dimensional, fluid spatial narrative, translating the imagery of Kunlun’s water “flowing concealed underground” from the “Commentary on the Waterways Classic” into a contemporary architectural language. This guides visitors from the outside in, tracing the current upstream to explore the spiritual source.
