- Unique Properties
- This project aims to create a calm and peaceful space by integrating a museum with global digital libraries focused on Sinology research while incorporating the philosophy of the mind. As visitors enter, they will find a peaceful atmosphere that reflects the smooth flow of calligraphy, turning it into beautiful shapes and soft light. Contemplation fosters clarity and insight, helping us recognize our place in the world and deepening our appreciation of life.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The total area of the indoor space is around 6,537 square meters, including the visitor center, the guidance area, and the main building (three floors).

- Museum, Library, Exhibition Hall, Contemporary Culture, Chinese Studies, Metaphysics, Culture, Collections Of The Palace Museum, Sustainable Design, Green Building
- Production Technology
- The main building includes a central space for cultural relics, surrounded by exhibition halls, a library, a multimedia room, and a conference hall, all linked by a lobby, corridors, and a coffee shop. Designed to maximize natural light and views, the facility features temperature control, efficient lighting, and sound acoustics, all using healthy materials. It has achieved Taiwan’s Diamond level green building certification.
- Design Challenge
- Incorporating a memory theater that spans from ancient times to the present, the design features a wood-textured ceiling that embodies Eastern aesthetics, while latticed structures symbolize continuity. Set against the profound granite flooring, white walls, and column arrays frame the park’s scenic views. The veining of Carrara marble shapes the main landscape wall, while stacked stone blocks represent historical depth. Decorative panels resembling bronze further convey cultural sustainability.
- Research
- This project is the first presidential library, dedicated to studying national leaders and their historical contexts. It draws inspiration from historical materials provided by the foundation, and case studies from national libraries and cultural art museums. To foster an environment rich in historical significance and academic depth, the Ruentex Interior Design team approaches design through the lens of Sinology, creating a new social landmark that integrates culture, history, and leisure.
- Inspiration
- The concept of "Cultural Essence" is expressed through calligraphy, paintings, and ancient lecture halls inspired by the Forbidden City. It allows individuals to experience the inspiration that comes from the literary pursuits of scholars and cultured individuals of the past, reflecting social phenomena and cultural heritage. This inspiration is linked to contemporary sustainability issues in humanities and natural ecology, showcasing a character of resilience, peace, and superiority.
- Project Duration
- The design and construction schedule of Ching-Kuo Chi-Hai Cultural Park is divided into two phases. The first phase began in November 2020 and was completed in January 2022 with an opening ceremony. The second phase began in March 2022 and was completed in August 2024.
- Operation Flow
- The concept of space is expressed through a range of calligraphy techniques, including ink application, rendering, and flying white. Firstly, "Dense ink" is transformed into solid forms that embody strength, while "rendering" becomes a dynamic area filled with resonance. Meanwhile, "flying white" represents an open space flooded with natural light, creating seamless connections between diverse areas.
