Production Technology
By adding value and characterizing the space, such as the imprint on the corner of the building and the stones that symbolizes luxury, the designer infuses honor and glory into the space. The sidewalk, which is the bridge between inside and outside, is in harmony with the luxurious vibe. The entrance is the purifying area, with water curtain falls down, visitors can purify their mind and find inner peace before walking in. The reception, which is a high-quality space, holds an important position to welcome visitors and lead them inside.
Design Challenge
The designer committed to refine modern architecture language and rethink the form of art. Beyond 100 years is the reification of this concept, constructing a clear and crucial position, in which the designer must observe and inspect the local culture and climate to capture the essence of this land.
Research
By interpreting modern architecture language, Beyond 100 Years is in context of world architecture. Standing in the Asia New Bay Area here in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Beyond 100 Years defines wonders by its view. Every frame you take from here is a dynamic picture, and pushes architecture as a form of art to the peak.
Inspiration
The designer continuously explores the layout of the space, focusing on the interaction between five attributes: light, space, structure, transparency, and texture. These attributes are very similar to the principle proposed by Louis Kahn. Also, the work itself must take root in classical architectures and express through certain means such as the organization of axes or compositions.
Project Duration
The project will be finished in August 2021 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
Operation Flow
The concept is to pursue beauty and define individual by its own character, while put the cultural power of the location in consideration, and enrich the work with extraordinary spiritual space value.
