The Design

About Forest of Art Landscapes

Forest of Art is a landscape design for a 2000 square meter site in Taichung, Taiwan, completed in October 2020. The site lies at the junction of three parks, on a downtown corner facing a walkway to a school. The building was turned 45 degrees to face the school on the diagonal side, leaving more room for planting. Planter boxes arranged in an arc surround a sky walkway that connects with arbours. Multi-layer planting at the entrance makes the street corner appear as a forest linked to the sky walkway.

Production Technology: The interior space on the second floor is planned with a loop layout which enables people to walk back and forth in the space and to be surrounded by the view. The loop layout enriches the unique and interesting sensation of the narrow space, combining the space tightly with the design core.
Design Challenge: The landscape space is limited after planning the architecture; to solve the problem, the design team turned the building 45 degrees to face the school on the diagonal side and left the space for landscape.
Inspiration: An art country hidden in the city. The design core is inspired and elaborated from the fairy tale, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Accompanying the urban landscape, the indoor and outdoor scenes well interprets the artistic resentence with design and story.
Project Duration: The project finished in October 2020 in Taichung, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The planter boxes arranged in arc surrounds the sky walkway connecting with the arbours, which brings out the layers of the building. Besides, the multi-layer planting matching the arc sky walkway at the entrance makes the streetscape at the corner seem to be a forest connected with the skyway.
