About Mighty Dragon on the Hill Fabrik

Mighty Dragon on the Hill er et fabrikskompleks til produktion af elbiler i Miaoli, Taiwan. Parken dækker syv hektar og rummer seks hovedbygninger, herunder et administrationscenter, et forskningscenter, en sovesal og en produktionslinje. Formen er inspireret af billedet af den traditionelle kinesiske drage, og de lave buetage tage bevarer bakkens oprindelige skyline. Buetagene reducerer også vindtrykket og gør det muligt at tilføje solpaneler på et senere tidspunkt. Store grønne arealer, et gammelt banyantræ og et lokalt tempel er bevaret inden for grunden.
