Project Highlights
Our firm planned and curated the public art program for the new construction of the Air Force Command Headquarters, Zhongyong Branch, inviting nine artists from Taiwan and abroad to participate. The participating artists include Pu Hao-Ming, Jian Ming-Hui, Lin Bo-Ruei, Lin Jian-Rong, Lin Jian-You, among others.
The theme of this public art project is “Riding the Wind Upward, Steel Wings Soaring to the Clouds.” It underscores the Air Force’s vision of continuous innovation and the enhancement of combat readiness. At the same time, the sky, wind, and flight symbolize freedom and the pursuit of ideals. Grounded in the site’s existing architecture and landscape, the project strengthens spatial functions while placing special emphasis on the perspective of space users and carefully considering long-term adaptability and sustainable operation. These principles guided the conception, planning, and placement of the artworks.
The intended “users” of the space include not only Air Force commanders and personnel, but also residents of the surrounding community. Through this approach, the public art program seeks to express both the distinctive character of a military institution and its aspirational ideals.
Artwork Overview
The public art installations are organized into two major thematic sections.
The first section comprises artworks located inside the facility for commanders, staff, and visiting guests. Centered on the theme of “Loyalty and Valor,” these works embody the Air Force’s long-standing tradition of safeguarding the nation and serving the people.
The second section features artworks placed outdoors for public viewing. With “Approachability” as its theme, these works integrate art and landscape to create a relaxed and welcoming environment, inviting passersby and local residents to engage with and enjoy the space.
Together, the two themes—one martial, one cultural—seek a balance between strength and grace. Their shared goal is to present an image of a military institution that is dignified and authoritative within, yet open, friendly, and people-oriented to the public.
