With this project, MAYU architects expanded and renovated the existing cultural center built in 1983, located in the middle of the Millennium Park of Pingtung City. The main objective of the transformation was to introduce transparency and accessibility to the once-hermetic building, thus providing a greater sense of orientation and spaciousness to the library. To this end, the architects opted to blow out first-floor walls, thus making way for a glass façade that wraps the ground level, connecting readers to the 5-hectare green space surrounding the new community building.
