Idea projektu

The site is located in the open space beside the American military dormitory at the Taiwan Chinese Cultural University. This open space is located at the entrance of the base. At the same time, it has a rich natural ecological environment, and the design is mainly based on the original undeveloped building base. The site is close to the residents’ living circle. So in the original idea is to respect the facades and the forms of the surrounding buildings. At the same time, the design puts the accent on public space for residents, ensuring the use of the large green space of the original site. And also focus on learning in the function setting, so that the elderly, residents, and students have created more learning opportunities. In the early stages of the design, a large number of abandoned buildings were added with many new functions. Therefore, the imagery of the design is like the resting space of the relay station, rather than the important landmark in the base. The purpose is not to let the building become the protagonist in the base too abruptly, but to make the surrounding historical buildings visible In order to develop together with this alumni club. It can become a complementary role, activating the potential of the entire area.
