Behind the Design

Unique Properties: To encapsulate the urban memory of Taoyuan, an industrial hub in Taiwan, this project "reimagines" the essence of industrial remnants within the space, specifically referencing a historic flour factory with large columns, reflective of the city’s past landscape. By integrating a strategic patio, sunlight floods the interior, transforming it into a vertical forest that embodies the rhythms of the seasons and the passage of time.
Dimensions & Packaging: The long side of the site is 20.5 meters long and 7.4 meters wide, with a total area of 140 square meters.
Tags: Medical Beauty Clinic, Post-Human, Industrial Ruins, Coexistence with Nature, Hyper-Reality
Production Technology: At the entrance, a Water Ripple Device features a metallic plate that refracts light and shadow, creating an ethereal underwater ambiance. Inside, expansive "mechanical water ripple light tubes" simulate cascading waterfalls, immersing visitors in a transcendent aquatic experience.
Design Challenge: The primary challenge lies in crafting an organic migratory experience within a constrained space. While it is essential to "reproduce" the cylindrical form emblematic of industrial ruins, this must be achieved without overt visual prominence. Each area will present a distinct landscape, facilitating free movement and exploration, allowing individuals to discover hidden spaces that resonate with their inner moods.
Research: In the context of the "post-human era," aesthetic medical clinics must prioritize the creation of immersive spatial experiences. This project not only preserves the memory of an industrial city but also redefines it through a new narrative, constructing a hyper-realistic environment that resonates with urban heritage.
Inspiration: Emerging trends in medical aesthetics have reshaped East Asia, intertwining futuristic narratives of the "post-human" with daily life. This design draws from the concept of the "post-human era," envisioning how a medical aesthetic clinic in a post-industrial city can evoke the collective memory of its surroundings, turning the clinic into a prologue for post-human exploration.
Project Duration: The project started in July 2024 and finished in November 2024 in Taoyuan.
Operation Flow: This project juxtaposes two distinct forms of industrial remains. The first, the "large column," serves as a sanctuary for rest and privacy, while the second, the "small column," is enlivened by the encroachment of wild flora. This dichotomy invites a dialogue on the harmonious coexistence of humanity and nature within the narrative of the post-human era.
