About Mighty Dragon on the Hill Fabrică

Mighty Dragon on the Hill este un complex industrial pentru producția de maşini electrice în Miaoli, Taiwan. Parcul se întinde pe șapte hectare și cuprinde șase clădiri principale, inclusiv un centru administrativ, un centru de cercetare, un dormitor și o linie de producție. Forma reia imaginea dragonului tradițional chinezesc, iar acoperișurile joase în arc păstrează silueta originală a dealului. Acoperișurile în arc reduc, de asemenea, presiunea vântului și permit adăugarea ulterioară a panourilor solare. Zone verzi extinse, un banian vechi și un templu local sunt păstrate în cadrul amplasamentului.
