About Warehouse 20 21 22 23 Rénovation d'Atelier Historique
En hommage à la structure historique, le projet de Réapparition de l'Atelier Historique ne visait pas seulement à préserver mais également à mettre en lumière la structure en attirant l'attention sur ses éléments patrimoniaux. L'architecte utilise de nouvelles structures en acier qui délimitent l'espace, protègent la structure d'origine, et grâce à une conception lumineuse, exposent également la structure, faisant de l'espace une véritable exposition de l'architecture industrielle elle-même. Le projet confère une dimension moderne à l'espace qui crée une relation de superposition entre le moderne et l'industriel.

- Research
- Revealing Lighting Design
The most significant feature of the building is the unique steel structure; from the column to the beams. The team put together the historical structure with the lighting design, to emphasize the beauty of the industrial-era architecture, and also to define the spatial characteristics of the design. The lighting design is focused on three areas:
1.The upper steel structures: H-beam light hanged above the ceiling to illuminate the upper steel structure of the historical building.
2.The hollow steel columns: lighting inside the steel column illuminates from the inside, creating a depth perception and to draw attention on the historical structure.
3.Display Boxes: 90*90cm-display-boxes equipped with LED lights were designed to surround the column to spotlight the structure, and also to protect the historical relic. - Inspiration
- The site is located in the Zhongxing Cultural and Creative Park; once home to a paper manufacturing company in Taiwan. When it was operational, these warehouses were workshops for metal and woodwork of the factory, thus the structures were specifically designed for the workshop, which gives the warehouse distinctive features. The purpose of this renewal project is to redesign the place into a historical exhibition and promote the historical value of the paper factory that once existed.
- Project Duration
- Project duration : 5 months
The project is located in Yilan County, Taiwan. - Operation Flow
- The balance of Industrial Imagery
Due to the budget reasons, the materials used on the design were mostly industrial. One of which, in order to improve the transparency of the space, lightweight and simple materials were used, such as; steel bars, polycarbonate panels, and glass block; materials that have least structural joints, to bring softer elements into the historical space. - Team Members
