RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Shadows, colors and rhythms are blended into a sequence of geometric forms, which are abstract expressions of natural objects. The kid’s play area on 1F takes children to a magic journey. The green tones symbolize local vast grassland and wilderness. The snowy-colored, lamb-textured seats and the cloud-shaped suspended lamps draws a simple, interesting picture that cattle and sheep are exposed as wind blows grass.
CHALLENGE: The sense of fluidity extends to the paper-made decorative lighting fixture on the wall, which features sand dunes-like shape and texture and seems to be blown by heavy winds. Its inherent artistic energy complements the large-volume red floral art installation with Oriental characteristics, well achieving the integration of virtuality and reality.
