Popular music has grown rapidly in Taiwan in the past three decades. On the other hand, Taiwan indigenous people are highly talented in music and art who influenced by traditional tribal culture. In view of this, the Taoyuan Municipal Government plans to build A large Complex cultural facilities including the Taoyuan Pop Music Amphitheater, The indigenous Cultural and Creative Industry Park, and The indigenous Cultural Foundation permanent site in the Taoyuan.
The key issues of design in this project are:
1. How to deal with the noise problem at the amphitheater which located at the junction of residential area and agricultural area.
2. Overcome the resonance problem from the enthusiastic audience jumping the beat of popular music concerts.
3. Create clusters of buildings with convenient transportation and form the space for cultural events.
4. Create a Modern architectural vocabulary of Taiwanese aboriginal culture and art atmosphere.
Aiming at the key issues of design which mentioned above, this project proposes corresponding design as below:
1. Use the configuration of the building volumes to form a noise shield. The four-story building volumes are located on the east and south sides of the site adjacent to the residential area. Using their height to form a sound barrier wall, it can effectively block noise from directly impacting to sensitive residential area.
2. Let the open space toward to the north side where the MRT depot is located and the west side where the agricultural area is located to reduce the noise affection.
3. The landscape planting design of multi-layer trees was used to form a natural noise shield to reduce the noise impact from road vehicles and elevated MRT to the site.
Although the audience area of the amphitheater is set above the hollow structure of parking lot, this project adopts the method of increasing the thickness of the backfill soil to more than one meter to form a sufficient stratum quality to effectively absorb the structure resonance phenomenon caused by the audience's jumping with the musical beat. It will help to increases the safety of the whole structure itself as well as the surrounding private houses.
In addition, using two large building volumes shape the main open space of amphitheater, and use a sky bridge to connect the MRT station to introduce people flow. This pedestrian flow sequence makes an aboriginal cultural and attraction shopping street, a lighting atrium and the semi-outdoor small performance field extends the entry and exit circulation of the two buildings with a three-dimensional spiral-shaped observation platform, which directly make a visual connection with the adjacent landscape water front.
The Aboriginal totem art is abstracted transforming into a series of structural pillars in different sizes to sharp the outer wall of the double skin system and the roof gradual molding skylight. The method of transforming the aboriginal weaving process into a grating the characteristics of the building structure and the changing light with shadow as aboriginal art are cleverly and minimal integrated into the overall architectural atmosphere.
Regarding to the overall landscape design concept, the amphitheater can be used as a green and open garden for the neighborhood when there is no performance, and improve the quality of urban living environment. At the same time, since this project is also closely related to the culture and art of the aboriginal people, the concept of the universe in aboriginal culture and the concept of admiring the earth and living to be used as a starting point. With the special choices of planting, the form of the plaza, the public art, and the arrangement of the landscaping, all of them are a serious of metaphor for faith, worship, origin, symbiosis, ethnicity, and life. Symbolizing the imagery and turning the overall landscape design towards a low-energy-consumption, multi-species ecological construction and enriches the diversity of open space as an outdoor theater.
