'It has been more than a decade when public art first rooted in Taiwan. The definition of the term "public art" can be seen to have largely extended, from the early sculpture and wall paintings to environment art and installations which react with the district. This series "Civic Aesthetics . Public Art Series", co-published by the Council for Cultural Affairs and Artouch, aims to explore the nature of public art. The authors dig into the disintegration of district in the practice, as well as the diversity of forms and mediums applied.' - translated from preface.

The book explores the relation between art and ecology. Ian McHarg once pointed out that the greatest art in the 21st century should be one which 'heals the wounded earth'. Art creation functions as a tool of human to adopt to the evolution of the environment. It is hoped that art can lead to an ultimate harmonious coexistence of human and nature.
