中國人對於時間的理解絕非以公元紀年那麼簡單，通過對晝夜交替、四季輪迴觀察和體悟讓古人建立起時間與空間對應的時空觀念，更加注重環境的變化對於人的影響，引發天地之間的人生意義和價值的追問，並創作出許多感悲時光的詩文，流傳至今，從而構成了中國人的文化屬性和精神世界。將這樣一個深遠而博大的關於時間主題聚焦到一個裝置之上進行表達，時間塔以若干層大小不斷變化的圓盤連接的立體架構與圍繞在周邊的面積不等、不斷上升的螢幕進行組合，形成了立體的、相互掩映的空間關係，將具象的實體存在轉化為空間的抽象表達。在白天的陽光和夜晚燈光的照射下產生豐富的光影變化和夢幻效果，使人在行進過程中形成連貫的觀賞體驗，完成了從空間向時間的轉譯。並引導觀眾的視線向上，進入無限的蒼穹，感受時空的存在和力量。

Chinese people’s understanding of time was not as simple as the Christian era. Through ob-serving and comprehending the alternation of day and night, the cycle of four seasons, the ancient Chinese people established a time-space conception, paid more attention to the impact of environmental changes on human, initiated the inquiry of the meaning and value of life, and created plenty of poems that express the feelings of time, which have been handed down to the present and formed the cultural attribute and spiritual world of Chinese people. To focus such a far-reaching and broad theme of time on an installation, the Tower of Time is formed by a spatial structure connected by several layers of constantly changing disks and the surrounding rising screens to present a three-dimensional, mutual concealing spatial relationship, and transform the concrete entity existence into an abstract expression of space. Under the sunshine in the day and the light at night, it produces rich light and shadow changes and dreamlike effects that provide the viewers a coherent viewing experience while moving and complete the translation from space to time. The Tower guides the viewers to look upward into the infinite sky to feel the existence and power of time and space.

這座時間塔是以光和信息流為載體的「光建築」。以純粹的光語言為創意理念，意在讓建築成為光的生命體，讓時間和光這些難以固化的詩性體驗和哲學命題成為可視和可知的全新生命體驗。時間塔是集亭，台，樓，閣等各種傳統建築類型空間意象於一體的多媒體建築，也是滿足游，演，播、展等各種文化功能相互轉化的綜合性舞台。每一位遠觀時間塔的人，每一位近賞時間塔的人，每一位走進時間塔的人，每一位登臨時間塔的人都會獲得不同的感受，都會對時間乃至生命有重新的認識。
The Tower of Time is a 「light building」 with light and information flow as the carrier. With the pure light language as the creative idea, it aims to make the architecture become the life body of light, and translate time and light that are poetic, philosophical and difficult to be materialized into a visible and perceptible new life experience. The Tower of Time is a multi-media building that embodies the spatial images of various traditional building types, such as pavilion, terrace, tower, open hall, etc. It is also a comprehensive stage that integrates various cultural functions, such as tour, performance, broadcast, exhibition, etc. Each of the viewers standing far or near the Tower of Time will have different feelings and new understanding of time and life.
