On December 9, Japanese architect Kengo Kuma visited Feng Chia University to inspect the Gongshan Building, which he personally designed and is set to be completed in the spring of next year. Facing the most beautiful deciduous trees in Taiwan, forming a green maple forest and a crape myrtle forest, Kengo Kuma not only affirmed Feng Chia University's implementation of landscape design but also took numerous photos with his phone. The interaction between the trees and the building creates a space where various elements interact, fully embodying the significance of seasonal changes and landscape architecture.
