Beijing-based design studio Studio Pei-Zhu developed Chinese philosophy with a new attribute and meaning  by designing stack of green boxes in Fujian, China, which is called ''Quanzhou National Park Installation''. The studio's design approach is based on an abandoned concrete frame, to expand and extend along with it, creating an unique experience of space arts, which is accepted as the use of uselessness in traditional concept of Chinese philosophy. The concept interprets the experience of rockery in Chinese garden, visitors can walk through green rockery and rest under the sunshade. It is not a repetition of the form of rockery, but a capture of spatial experience of traditional Chinese garden. Using green plants instead of rocks, with more natural.

The project locates at tropical area, the complicated and well-arranged space provides the visitors a rich experience and lots of shade. The open space extends indoor area to outdoor, where people can have tea and chat. The simple and flexible way of construction gives the structure the possibility of "growing". The green plants give it vitality all year round. It can be an ecological experimental base, a place where children canget close and explore nature. Studio Pei-Zhu's design is between architecture and structure, expressing the spirit of traditional Chinese art.
