The Design

About Warehouse 20 21 22 23 Renovação de Oficina Histórica

Como uma valorização da estrutura histórica, o propósito do projeto de Reaparição da Oficina Histórica foi não apenas preservar, mas também destacar a estrutura, chamando atenção para o elemento histórico. O arquiteto utiliza novas estruturas de aço que delineiam o espaço, protegem a estrutura original e, com o projeto de iluminação, também exibem a estrutura, tornando o espaço uma exposição para a própria arquitetura industrial. O projeto traz uma característica moderna ao espaço que cria uma relação de sobreposição entre o moderno e o industrial.

Design Challenge: The hardest part of this design is how to input new design elements into a historical space, for the elements of old and new to co-exist without decreasing the historical value.
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.
