About Concavity and Convexity Te Roro o Roto o te Whare Manaaki

He whare manaaki e rua ōna papa e tū ana ki Taoyuan, Taiwan, ko te Koronga me te Whakakuraa. Kei roto i te tāhoahoatanga o roto ngā rārangi tawhito e whakakotahi ana ki ngā rauemi hou. Ka whakamahia ngā papa kupenga konumohau hei ārai me ngā tuanui huri noa i ngā arawhata. Ka taea e te kupenga te tuku i te māramatanga kia rere, nō reira ka nekeneke te māramatanga me te atarangi puta noa i ngā pakitara mā, māmā. Ko tētahi ara whāiti kua whakapaipaitia ki ngā awhe mangumangu me te mā, tae atu ki ngā whakaata pango, ka hanga i tētahi āhuatanga kite e rite ana ki te ana. Ko te tuanui kāore i hangaa kia rite tahi te āhua, engari kua hangaia mā te whakakohikohinga whakairo kore-rite. Nā ngā whakaahua a Pierre Soulages i whakaohooho i tēnei tāhoahoatanga.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: The interior is designed with modern elements to interpret the classical style, bringing galvanized mesh panels into the space as screens and ceilings between staircases. The mesh panel has a penetrating characteristic to bring in light, so that the space can form natural ripples and dance with light and shadow. This design creates an artistic and stylish appearance through the use of contradictory elements.
Dimensions & Packaging: Construction began in February 2021 and was completed in June 2021.
The total square footage is 1170 square meters. Located in Taoyuan, Taiwan, the two-story reception center includes a meeting area, audio visual room, exhibition area, VIP ROOM, pantry and lounge.

Production Technology: The concept of the corridor comes from Pierre Soulages paintings, using black and white stripes and black mirrors to create a visual interlacing effect, like a time tunnel. Through the mirror effect, light and different materials blending with each other, enlarging the depth of field and bringing spaciousness. The design of the ceiling is different from the common symmetrical approach, and is illustrated by asymmetrical collage carvings, allowing the classical to be presented in a modern form.
Design Challenge: This is not a newly built project, but a retrofit of the original building. Corrugated sheet and galvanized mesh panels are the symbol of inexpensive materials in Taiwan, often used in factories and countryside bungalows. In this case, the designer has taken a common, mundane material and elevated its value with the use of color palette, structure and classical elements to make it both modern and technological.
Research: In Pierre Soulages paintings, the squeegee is used to create strong color blocks and stripes on the paint. The texture becomes the visual focal point, and the presence of light is felt in the concavity and convexity of the paint. Therefore, this project is based on the development of a classical and modern space, full of texture and the flow of light and shadow.
Inspiration: Inspired by the abstract painter Pierre Soulages, the design explores the changing relationship between black, line and light through Pierre Soulages powerful and textured style of painting. The designer uses light as a design element, and through the reflection and interplay of colors and spatial textures, a sense of natural rhythm is derived from the space.
Project Duration: This project is built in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The designer installed galvanized mesh panels and metallic water ripple glass panels in the staircase, open the sense of space through the large vertical window openings. With a large amount of light and plain white walls, the designer let the expression of the space change with the weather and time of day.
