<strong>March 28 to April 3</strong>
The Taipei City Government was in a panic. There were only six days left until the March 29, 1994 grand opening of Daan Forest Park and officials had yet to resolve an intense dispute one that had gone on for two years over whether to keep a large Guanyin statue on the park’s northwest corner.
Buddhist Master Shih Chao-hwei (釋昭慧) and independent legislator Lin Cheng-chieh (林正杰) were on day five of their hunger strike to save the statue, vowing to “defend the statue to the death”
What has been your most challenging project so far?
We’re currently working on our biggest mosstallation (moss installation) yet – a three-storey-tall feature that will be spread vertically across the staircase core of a landed house.
It will be installed using vertical panels of varying dimensions, and the biggest challenge is to ensure that the individual segments can stand alone as design pieces of their own and also speak to each other, forming a cohesive piece that flows seamlessly from one area to the next.
What considerations should people bear in mind when deciding whether they want to do a moss installation?
