Nesting Plan VII  Formosan Wild Boar Public Art Installation

Nesting Plan VII Formosan Wild Boar

Nesting Plan VII Formosan Wild Boar is a public art installation placed in a forest park in Hualien, Taiwan. The work is inspired by the nesting behavior of the Formosan wild boar, an animal that builds shelters from hay and branches and rests with its snout facing the entrance to stay alert. The structure is made of Taiwan cedar and Makino bamboo, assembled with careful joinery and shaped through digital structural design. Visitors can enter the nest-like space and sit on a curved bench that faces the opening, which encourages contact with the surrounding forest.

Nesting Plan VII Formosan Wild Boar Public Art Installation by Into the Woods & Co. has been recognized as a grand representation of communication design by the A' Design Award. Nesting Plan VII Formosan Wild Boar Public Art Installation was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in Fine Arts and Art Installation Design in 2025. The A' Fine Arts and Art Installation Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design recognition program which celebrates excellent design of sculptures, paintings, installations, photographs, drawings, mixed media works, ceramics, art objects, craftworks and more.
