The art piece “Spring Blossom” has three major functions-
- Atmospheric control
Mist is released from the “stigma” of the art piece to control the ambient temperature. It cools down the surrounding and provides a foggy like effect for the enjoyment of the public on a hot sunny day.
- Spectacular effects
The art piece will provide spectacular lightings for special events. A flower blossom like effect for different time of the day, month and season.
- Pollen attractions
The art piece is a revisit of the geodesic dome (by Buckminster Fuller) to sustain new urban ecology. The double skin structures are petal like wombs to attract birds, insects for habitations. Human and animals all come to the attractions like bees drawn by the pollens.

La Vieille Charité is a former almshouse, now functioning as a museum and cultural centre, situated in the heart of the old Panier quarter of Marseille in the south of France. Constructed between 1671, and 1749, in the Baroque style to the designs of the architect Pierre Puget, it comprises four ranges of arcaded galleries in three storeys surrounding a space with a central chapel surmounted by an ovoid dome.
The chapel and the hospice were classified as a historic monument by order of January 29, 1951
Le Panier is Marseille’s oldest neighbourhood. It has an arty vibe, with plenty of café-filled squares, authentic bistros and stores selling locally-made handicrafts. The name comes from Le Logis du Panier, a historic inn that welcomed travellers in the 17th century. In English, the name translates to “The Basket”. Originally, the wealthy built their homes here, but by the 17th century, they’d largely moved out in search of more space.
Marseille, a port city in southern France, has been a crossroads of immigration and trade since its founding by the Greeks circa 600 B.C. At its heart is the Vieux-Port (Old Port), where fishmongers sell their catch along the boat-lined quay. Basilique Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde is a Romanesque-Byzantine church.
Founded c. 600 BC by Greek settlers from Phocaea, Marseille is the oldest city in France, as well as one of Europe's oldest continuously inhabited settlements. It was known to the ancient Greeks as Massalia and to Romans as Massilia.
Marseille has been a trading port since ancient times. In particular, it experienced a considerable commercial boom during the colonial period and especially during the 19th century, becoming a prosperous industrial and trading city.
