Key points in the structure were determined and laid out, workers then manually performed the final bending and shaping welding. There is also a dynamic wind device in the installation. A streamer flying in the shape of the sunset. It has no structure, dances with the wind when the wind force is set by the wind device.

Design Challenge

1 Creative linkage of indoor, outdoor and restaurant spaces. The streamers floated from the outdoor stairs into the gallery, meandered into the sunset, then floated to the dinner space downstairs, and finally landed on the table. 2 Add dynamic wind driven devices to the static exhibition. Visitors can also interact with the wind device.3 An in depth study of the mechanical structure was conducted.
