About Forest of Art Descriptio Locorum

Silva Artis est descriptio locorum pro area duorum milium metrorum quadratorum Taichung in Taiwania sita, mense Octobri anno bis millesimo vicesimo perfecta. Area in confinio trium hortorum iacet, in angulo urbis mediae ad ambulacrum scholae spectante. Aedificium in gradus quadraginta quinque conversum est ut scholam a latere obliquo spectaret, plus spatii ad conserendum relinquens. Arcae plantariae in arcum dispositae ambulacrum caeleste circumdant, quod cum umbraculis coniungitur. Consitio multiplex ad introitum efficit ut angulus viae velut silva ambulacro caelesti coniuncta appareat.

Tags: Landscape, Garden Design, Design, Space, Planning
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.
