His idea for to show people a "poem in a bottle", and the pavilion's shape looked like a stomach.

3) The individual rhythms of polyrhythmic music are C) independent and contrasting. The concept of polyrhythm defines the term of polyrhythmic music as the simultaneous use of two or more conflicting rhythms, that are not readily perceived as deriving from one another, which means that they all are different and, for the first sight, non-combinative. But eventually they form a whole composition.
