STATUS

Concept

Kinmen, an island that is closer to Fujian, China than Taiwan, with its special geographical location and rich geological textures, has emerged from its tumultuous history with pride. Today, well preserved villages in the traditional style of southern Fujian, sprinkled with western mansions built by wealthy emigrants, and cold war battlefield relics coexist harmoniously, accumulating in distinctive architectural and cultural layers.

With a close reading of the landscape as the starting point for the design, the hill-like volumes emerges in conformity with the valley typography, and is shrouded by a veil of terra cotta panels.

Taking inspiration from the work of local artist Lee Shi-Chi, the project integrates the building within an art park setting, creates a system of interwoven circulation paths, and incorporates the use of regional materials and colors, all of which results in a unique architectural typology that will become the defining cultural landmark of Kinmen.
