In addition to meeting all needs of the production team in the park, this case has also included original landscape and respected local faith, so as to be the paradigm that combines ecology and culture, and the leading dragon of technological industry.
Research: To broaden local influence, this case takes good advantage of the centurial banyan tree and the temple of Earthly God in the original location. The banyan tree is made the core belief of this factory of green technology, and the local traditional faith is kept. Being the factory beside a highway, a recharge station is available to benefit drivers. It not only serves as a rest area but also rid of the boredom of mass mechanic production in common factories.
Inspiration: This project takes the image of traditional Chinese dragon, in the place that takes up 7 hectares. The case has to not only meet the complex needs for such considerable technology industry, but also account for the impact upon the environment and culture. According to the demand for production and function, there are six main buildings in the park, including administration center, research center, dormitory and production line.
Project Duration: The project finished in October 2020 in Miaoli, Taiwan.
