About Mighty Dragon on the Hill Fabrika

Moćni Zmaj na Brdu je fabrički kompleks za proizvodnju električnih automobila u Miaoliju, Tajvan. Park se prostire na sedam hektara i obuhvata šest glavnih zgrada, uključujući administrativni centar, istraživački centar, spavaonicu i proizvodnu liniju. Oblik preuzima izgled tradicionalnog kineskog zmaja, a niski lučni krovovi čuvaju izvorni obris brda na horizontu. Lučni krovovi takođe smanjuju pritisak vetra i omogućavaju kasniju ugradnju solarnih panela. Na lokaciji su očuvane prostrane zelene površine, staro stablo banjana i lokalni hram.
