Photoelectricity to be the medium
To stimulate the valuable energy resources
Electricity generation is merely its basic purpose
Photoelectricity panel is no longer photoelectricity panel
It has been transformed to be the landscape, architecture and sculpture

Recreation development and environmental protection thus are balanced
The propaganda of energy conservation and education thus are fused

在觀音與大屯之間
在河口與河岸之間
在老街與左岸之間

以光電為媒介 激發出珍貴的能源
發電僅是他最基底的目的
光電板已非光電板
化身為景觀、建築、雕塑

遊憩開發與環保因此得到了平衡
節能宣導與教育因此得到了融合
