Production Technology

The interior of the first building part of this case is planned for a Hakka exclusive concert hall. The elevated space uses new materials and construction methods, and reduces the penetration of sound sources with the sound-absorbing function of the composite double-layer partition system. The outdoor landscape uses the floor anti-subsidence construction method and artificial site flower terraces to increase the benefits of water conservation and environmental resource reuse at the base.

Design Challenge

The buildings also pursue the goal of energy saving, carbon reduction and sustainable operation. The landscape pavement uses the anti-subsidence construction method to enhance the water retention and durability of the base. The flower terrace uses the artificial site construction method to achieve water conservation and landscape greening in the open space.

Project Duration

This project is finished in May 2021 in Taoyuan City, Taiwan.

Operation Flow

The two buildings are connected by the central "Cheng" - platform and corridor around. The building combines the concept of retreating layer-by-layer to create a multi-layer circular light-transmitting outdoor plaza, providing social and resting space. The semi-outdoor landscape grand staircase in the middle greets the crowd and welcomes guests.

Research

In order to promote the concepts of environmental sustainability and resource reuse, this case retains the existing perforated plates that have been dismantled. After reorganizing and assembling, they are combined with the existing children's play equipment, moved to a suitable location, and transformed into an entrance-shaped observatory tower, providing the function of climbing high and looking into the distance.

Inspiration

This project aims to enhance the connection between the local Hakka history, humanities and activities. It provides foreign tourists with Hakka village cultural experience and local residents living venues, as well as a venue for Hakka associations to practice and perform. The interior space is planned for flexible use. The "Cultural Study Center" combines exhibition, teaching and office functions, while the "Concert Hall" has performance and exhibition functions.
