@shiyao.tang: A simplified contrast, but a revealing one. A straight path lets you see where you’re going. A winding path changes what you see as you go. It’s easy to judge a choice by whether it gets us closer to the life we’ve planned. But what if the life we’ve planned is based on what we can see from where we’re standing now? At Versailles, the central axis draws your eye toward the horizon. In Suzhou’s classical gardens, a moon gate might give you a glimpse of water. Keep walking and the pond comes into view from an angle you couldn’t have seen from the gate. Perhaps it’s worth leaving room for a few detours. Life can surprise us with things we didn’t know to hope for. #versailles #gardens #design
So much like life. It isn’t always a straight path.

I learned this by accident in person when I visited China and took the high-speed rail to Suzhou. I was recommended to visit the local People’s garden. MIND BLOWN

There's a beautiful replica of a Chinese garden at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. It's called the Astor Court. Built entirely with hand tools by a group of carpenters that came from China in 1979.

I prefer the Chinese way of design.But it is inherently less efficient in maximizing space usage efficiency
