Concept - The Temple of Literature has the tangible values ​​of Architecture and the intangible values ​​of the Taoism spirit, which is a unique material that should be honored. We consider the entire Temple of Literature as a perfect exhibition space, a highlight of Hanoi. The additional stage acts as a prism with a modern perspective, which reflects all this value as a message to preserve and develop the significance of the heritage to future generations. Inspired by the image of the Khue star, which is the symbol of literature, Khue Van Cac is the place where the ancient poets always wanted to set foot, and mark it as the name for many old bards. Ashui Pavilion 2022: The Khue, appeared and shined at the Temple of Literature, which honor the individuals and collectives who won the Ashui Awards 2021 and the legacy of the Temple of Literature.

The circle stage is structured by transparent glass panels, which are placed in the center of the yard, in front of the Thai Hoc house. There are 2 entrances to the square stage area in the middle. The awardees and recipients are on the podium. Spatial layout with the concept of harmony between Heaven, Human, and Earth in the theory of the Tam Tai (Heaven, Earth, and Human) of Eastern philosophy. On top of the glass wall, the circle illuminates the entire stage area. The surrounding space is reflected in the circle as the background for the stage and allows visitors to interact directly, working as installation art. In addition, the event was held when the Covid epidemic was breaking out all over the world and in Vietnam. So, the circle and the glass wall are the symbols of social division in the Covid area. Public space has lost its sense of human connection. Thus, this design adapts to the current social context.

The use of corten steel plate (which is directly oxidized steel, with properties that change with the weather and time, creates the "color of time" as the bearing base, the boundary of the ground, and the glass circle with the concept of the transition between the values ​​of the tradition to the future.
