Growing with the four seasons and guided by the five elements, this circular herbal sanctuary embodies a continuous cycle of life. Rooted in local herbal healing, it harmonizes with mountain landscapes and seasonal rhythms. Through subtle elevation changes and a balance of openness and enclosure, it forms a tranquil retreat—an immersive space to escape urban noise and restore body and mind.

Biomimetic design preserves ecology, creating a self-regulating space where architecture, nature, and people coexist. Wandering through seasonal herbal landscapes, visitors experience time through shifting scents and scenery. A herbal exhibition center shaping an ascending journey through extraction, culture, and panoramic landscapes. A herbal wellness spa integrating hot springs, therapeutic baths, and terrain-adapted outdoor soaking experiences. Glass walls and rotating windows integrate herbal planting, dissolving boundaries between interior, exterior, light, and greenery. Staggered architecture follows the hillside terrain, creating offset spatial relationships that enhance overall privacy.

HÁO TO WHY

Department of Crafts and Creative Design, National University of Kaohsiung

This project, "Universe of Punctuation," reinterprets neglected punctuation marks as celestial bodies within a cosmic narrative. By integrating diverse media—including zines, board games, and a digital platform—the design establishes a visual system for both recognition and practical application. It invites young audiences to shift from observers to participants, rediscovering the punctuation functions and emotional structures of symbols in modern communication.
