We believe change or new is not a sole creation from nothing
but rather evolution from the past. Designing the cultural center was a task to
reveal what could be the image of modern and contemporary Taiwan Architecture. Cultural
center is a good place to express the identity of the Taiwan.
In respect of the past architecture, the main idea was driven
by its elements in historical buildings which have had its form of curve,
wooden structure, prolonged canopies and so on. The overall geometry was created
as if it follows the beauty of the nature. So, the ideas of the new cultural
center have its beauty of extended cantilevered canopy with curved roof area.
Its style and materials are generated from the traditional elements as much as Taiwanese
would easily find and feel comfortable with its usual comfortable elements in
their experience.
