The FengTay Foundation is a supporter of culture and academia in the Huwei area, dedicated to promoting the development and preservation of local culture while encouraging and helping outstanding students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Through various activities and programs, the foundation provides educational and cultural resources to local residents and nurtures future leaders and talents for society.

This building features a light gray exterior, with the façade complemented by bright silver expanded metal. It utilizes ShangKai Steel's SKA20-14 and SKA20-65 series expanded metals, whose clever combination enhances the sense of depth and aligns with the minimalist style of modern architecture. This design is a perfect blend of functionality and artistic appeal.

This design is not only innovative but also features the ability to reduce heat and indoor temperatures. The structure of the expanded metal effectively blocks direct sunlight, minimizing heat buildup while promoting air circulation. This enhances the comfort of the building, creating a pleasant environment for its users.

The result is a visually layered effect that not only adds a touch of creativity, but also provides the benefits of heat reduction and temperature control. Walking through the corridors on each floor, one can enjoy the gentle breeze, making it a comfortable environment.
