Can a myth be built? Mercurius is a museum — a MoMA for Singapore — where human & artificial intelligence are not opposites, but a single stream.
Mercury is the mediator, the ancient figure who marries opposites. Sol & Luna. Light & dark. Human & machine.
Its architecture follows the logic of the yin-yang. In Sol, constructed above ground, humans feel at home — but within Sol hides the black dot within the white: AI art is sold together with human art. In Luna, subtracted below ground, is the world of AI — but within Luna sits the white dot within the black, the café, where the human need to gather persists.
An 860-column forest, generated through Python scripts. The column is structure & landscape. The column is a seat, a step & shade at once — each one rising to its own height, read from the site.
A single law governs everything: what the sun gives up, the moon receives. All that is subtracted from Sol is added to Luna. Nothing is created or destroyed — only transformed.
