鍊金術不斷嘗試用卑金屬製作黃金，從古至今卻從未有人成功。雖然如此，這些研究卻在不斷嘗試中推動化學發展進步。做設計的核心要學習瞭解物質本質、不斷嘗試、持續改進。透過數次的嘗試，探究屬於我們的「美」，將「鍊」的精神結合。
鍊是不斷嘗試的過程，應用是鍊後的表達，
應美人從收斂想法、反覆練習、精煉成作品後，
依然狂戀將創意具象化的各種可能性，這就是我們的鍊美術。

"Liaan" represents the pronunciation of alchemy in Chinese, with the double "A" symbolizing both “applied art” and the “alchemy of art.” We utilize the various meanings of this pronunciation in different Chinese fonts to interpret the core values of the applied arts department.
After the convergence of ideas, relentless practice, and the metamorphosis of concepts into tangible forms, applied artists remain devoted to innovation. This embodies the essence of “Our Alchemy of Art.” — where we all strive for excellence.
