A first-floor lobby waiting to be reinterpreted
How can “vitality” be expressed
without using new resources?
Through the prudence of Farglory employees, the imagination of designers, and the persistence of construction crews,
the process was one of conflict and compromise.
After the clash, they decided to flip the wall tiles,
letting the raw texture of the materials open up infinite possibilities.
The result was an rustic depiction of nature’s landscapes—
wall tiles transformed into mountain scenery, floor seams into rivers,
and scattered dice-like chairs as a metaphor for the construction industry’s mining activities.

Material source:
Reclaimed wood, recycled metal pipes, recycled glass.
Material features:
Recovered from construction and demolition projects, including rebar from construction sites, partition components, and discarded wood from renovations.
As part of a project themed around “vitality” and “sustainability,” with art embodying the imagery of mountains, forests, and light, the art installation Forest is located at the end of the stairwell. It is composed primarily of vertically arranged wooden pieces, interlaced with metal pipes and glass fragments, forming an abstract woodland shaped by both nature and human hand. The warmth of the wood symbolizes vitality, while metal and glass evoke the language of architecture, reflecting the order and tension of structures. As pedestrians pass through, beams of light filter through its gaps making the outdoor scenery barely visible—giving the impression of walking through a woodland woven into the city.
