Growing with the four seasons and guided by the five elements, this circular herbal sanctuary embodies a continuous cycle of life. Rooted in local herbal healing, it harmonizes with mountain landscapes and seasonal rhythms. Through subtle elevation changes and a balance of openness and enclosure, it forms a tranquil retreat—an immersive space to escape urban noise and restore body and mind.

Biomimetic design preserves ecology, creating a self-regulating space where architecture, nature, and people coexist. Wandering through seasonal herbal landscapes, visitors experience time through shifting scents and scenery. A herbal exhibition center shaping an ascending journey through extraction, culture, and panoramic landscapes. A herbal wellness spa integrating hot springs, therapeutic baths, and terrain-adapted outdoor soaking experiences. Glass walls and rotating windows integrate herbal planting, dissolving boundaries between interior, exterior, light, and greenery. Staggered architecture follows the hillside terrain, creating offset spatial relationships that enhance overall privacy.

Mikania micrantha is an invasive alien vine. Due to its astonishingly rapid spread and climbing ability, it prevents host plants from photosynthesizing, effectively suffocating them to death—earning it the nickname "green cancer." vine.exe systematizes information regarding this species. Through diverse presentation formats, it transforms this knowledge into aesthetically pleasing popular science, guiding the public in implementing prevention and control measures, as well as exploring its versatile applications.
