National Institute of Environmental Analysis Environmental Protection Administration Government of the Republic of China is the highest level of authority for safeguarding the national environment and studying the environmental and nature preservation. This piece of work aims at the environmental conservation awareness based on the "insight of the man-nature relationship". The characteristics of the site are integrated into the structure and content of the overall planning. The work is separated into three parts to be installed in the main entrance-nature; library-water and the restaurant-mountain. Mountain and water symbolize the composition of the environment we live in and the elements and combination of nature, which means in a broader sense, our earth and the origin of life. The earth is a planet surrounded by the atmosphere that nurtures life. The sunshine, rain, cloud, wind and the changes formed by the atmosphere have great impact on the living environment of human beings. The work: Mountain, Water and Nature connects man and the natural environment on the basis of the eastern philosophy to observe nature. As the introspection of environmental conservation, color and light are turned to energy to bring the peaceful and serene feelings to man.
