Awakening
Dental Clinic for Chang Gu Interior Design Center
The inspiration for the dental clinic comes from the earliest minuscule Cyanobacteria that appeared on Earth 3.4 billion years ago. The atmosphere slowly formed on the ground. Over the next billions of years, fungi, algae, ferns, Lycopodiopsida, and Equisetum bogotense developed. The plants that reproduced through spores were as tall as modern trees. The conifers appeared at the end of the Carboniferous. Soon, forests of seed plants occupied and dominated the entire earth, providing the necessary growing conditions and protection for the planet. A vibrant world was born.

Unique Properties
Metal, stone, wood and a large number of indoor plants are used as the basic materials of landscaping to shape. The large-section marble and irregular rough rock surface are the main focus of the space of the whole area to symbolize that the Creator has exerted the magnificent power to create space since ancient times. The use of a large number of green plants and hard mottled boulders. The base of the warm and gentle texture of wood is a metaphor for the progress of time and the circle of life.

Production Technology
Medicine is a part of humanity. The design of a medical space should avoid the old framework and be transformed from a cold white space into one with splendid colors, from an emphasis on practical functions to a diverse cultural space, moving from a field where people can only feel sickness and pain to a positive and optimistic environment. Such a re-envisioning takes imagination and enthusiasm, but also the ability to integrate all the advanced equipment rationally and professionally.
Design Challenge
Currently, the pandemic is a global issue and infection control has become a primary design point for medical spaces. We incorporated the patients consultation flow and the medical personnels work flow into the early stage of the design. We selected the antibacterial strength of various materials to prevent the cross infection of viruses, studied equipment disinfection and the transportation path of infected waste and strictly separated the access space to comply with infection control regulations.
Project Duration
Design: 2017.10 Construction: 2017.11-2018.10 in Zhongli District, Taoyuan City, Taiwan
Operation Flow
The clinic design must respect the patients medical care procedures and the medical personnels work flow. Regarding patients medical treatment, any overlapping flow with others has to be minimized to respect privacy and reduce cross infection. From entering the clinic to check in, waiting, consultation, seeing a doctor, relief after treatment and medical personnels advice to leaving the clinic, patients will complete all steps of the medical procedure in the most comfortable, independent, and relaxed state.
Research
This project attempts to use the space to express a flexible appeal. As if writing the softest haiku despite strong rational repression, it neither adheres to the formal aesthetics of architecture nor overly relies on decorative techniques. The project uses spatial vocabulary to encourage the owner accept the theme and metaphors like those in stories, thus paving a way for a future full of possibilities for medical spaces and creating a medical experience completely unlike those of the past.
Inspiration
3.4 billion years ago. This first green plant to appear on earth fell into the methane-full ocean and kept reproducing. The atmosphere slowly formed on the ground. Over the next billions of years, fungus, algae, ferns, Lycopodiopsida and Equisetum bogotense. The plants that reproduced through spores were as tall as modern trees. Soon, forests of seed plants occupied and dominated the entire earth, providing the necessary growing conditions and protection for the planet. All from that first Cyanobacteria.
