ATTRACT People inside theater cannot see what is going on outside, but the Unidirectional glass meet the curiosity of people walking outside to see through.
TRAVEL BACK IN TIME The coffee shop in the entrance is completely different from others, which are noisy and busy. Through the skylight, users can enjoy all the day to experience the time elapse or travel back in time. The light is changing slowly, which reminds visitor to calm down and enjoy this place.
ALLURING The long and curved corridor attracts people to go into there. The picture on the wall can be appreciated by all visitors. In the same time, the gurgling water outside let the visitor feel like they are in the countryside.
MUSE When the visitors look outside through the window, they will feel that clean water mix together with blue sky. This fantastic landscape seems to be the paradise without any noise. Why they must work hard every day, even forget the family. This question will be considered in this time.

Large hospitals can send experts per month to teach the rural hospital doctors, for experience and skills which can increase the level of medical treatment. In the future, the hospital will be likely to achieve the hierarchical medical system, so that a community hospital can treat ailments.
