The main raw materials for road marking construction are derived from remnant stones from quarries. Different stages of grinding stones with varying densities are loaded into acrylic pipes. They are arranged in order of density, color, and purity to form a screen with the upper part translucent and the rest filled with stones. The array of pipes represents a new type of partition, which improves the lighting conditions of the site, alleviates the sense of space confinement, and extends the penetrability of sight. Meanwhile, it implies the evolution of the client’s business services to convey their corporate spirit and values.
