Dis-orientation and anti-gravity in the upper sky are the thoughts to start the design. A garden is an idea of being horizontal with multi -angles of perspectives. When it flips up 90 degree, it becomes a vertical garden. A piece of view and green is brought in one direction horizontally, which chooses to go up with fast elevators or a slow stairwell, finally extends towards another direction in the vertigo. The stairwell with views of multiple perspectives is an experimental detour from the gravity.
