"Tóu Shí Wèn Lù (投石问路)" is a Chinese idiom that originally refers to the practice of throwing a stone to listen for sounds or observe movement in order to detect the situation ahead when walking or scouting. This idiom is often used metaphorically to describe testing the waters before taking action.
In an abandoned reservoir without water, one can throw stones to listen to the resulting water-like sounds, using the sounds to perceive the unique architectural structure. The sound reverberates within the architectural space, gradually accumulating. As sound and space continually intertwine, merge, and separate, frequencies shape the space, and the space, in turn, shapes the frequencies. The architecture thus becomes part of the composition, with sound and space together gradually shaping our perception.
