Taking the inspiration from Yayoi Kusama's polka dots art works from different periods, the system is made up with a three dimensional version of the polka dots——a repetition and variation of vertical column-like constructions. So different layers of space are created. Larger columns derive into space instead of merely structure, and sequences of columns which is another form of breathing wall , bringing light and space.
