This exhibition follows the life story of Mr. Han Pao-Teh and uses the theme of "The Remains of the Green Mountain". The design is based on "A Day in the Life of Han Pao-Teh" and aims to showcase the epitome of his lifetime. The permanent exhibition is divided into four themes: "The Rising Sun", "The Blazing Sun", "The Setting Sun", and "The Bright Moon". It uses interactive multimedia, contextual installations, old photographs, and artifacts collected by Mr. Han Pao-Teh during his life. The exhibition is designed to promote contemporary learning and encourage visitors to feel the emotions evoked by the exhibits. The layout includes rotatable interactive media and artifact display cabinets, breaking away from the traditional memorial hall framework. The exhibition is aimed at students and faculty of Tainan National University of the Arts and encourages them to learn and curate together. It is a sustainable space that can practice the theory of the art department.

The carefully planned use of a low color saturation, multi-layered movement, and appropriate contextual design allows the audience to fully immerse themselves in the inner spiritual world of the master. The square volume is primarily made of clear water moldings, skillfully combining circular curves and warm wood tones to create a spatial image that is both rigid and flexible. The original building's staggered staircases and the interplay of light and shadow in the space create a sense of rhythm, resulting in a vibrant and lively atmosphere.

The original site of this project stands a building of raw concrete. The designers opted for a minimalist approach to match the building's tone. They used lines and satin printing on the walls and added numerous images and artifacts to depict Mr. Han Pao-Teh’s simple and aesthetic style. Furthermore, the main body of the building's pure beauty was preserved, and a staggered circulation plan was added to create a sensory experience that blends reality and fiction. This provides the viewer with a unique and captivating viewing experience.
