About 24 Frames of Lightwell Duka la Rejareja lenye Uzoefu wa Kipekee

Fremu 24 za Kisima cha Mwanga ni duka la rejareja lenye uzoefu wa kipekee lililoko katika jengo lililokarabatiwa lenye umri wa miaka 50 mjini Taipei, likiwa na eneo la mita za mraba 353. Biashara, mitindo, sanaa na asili vimeunganishwa pamoja katika nafasi moja. Mbinu ya usanifu ya kupunguza vitu (subtractive design) inapunguza athari za kimazingira za ukarabati huo. Vifaa vilivyokuwepo awali vimefasiriwa upya ili kuonyesha umbile la jengo la zamani. Paneli za kisasa za terazo zimetumika katika duka la uteuzi (select shop), na ngazi ya asili ya terazo imerejeshwa katika hali yake. Matibabu mepesi ya kisima cha mwanga na facade yameunda fremu 24 zinazounda mandhari ya ndani na jinsi wageni wanavyohisi mazingira yanayowazunguka.

Unique Properties
"24 Frames of Lightwell" is an experiential space bringing commerce, fashion, art, and nature together in a renovated 50-year-old building in Taipei. The project offers solutions to old walkup-apartment renovation through material selection and subtractive design operation with minimal environmental impacts. The lightweight approach is applied to the entire lightwell and facade for the creation of "24 Frames" that influence the interior environment and magnify how visitors sense the surroundings

Production Technology
In terms of material selection for generating a newborn atmosphere in the old building, the project uses reinterpretation of the existing material to highlight the texture of the old building. For instance, "modern terrazzo panels" are used in the select shop while the existing "terrazzo staircase" are restored by oil-painting. The biggest challenge during construction is to figure out the restoration method since the building was built in 1967 and many material and technique was lost.
Design Challenge
As the project aiming to conserve the urban fabric and offer potential renovation solutions, the biggest challenge during construction is to figure out the restoration method since the building was originally built in 1967. For instance, "Goose yellow terrazzo staircase", "scattered wood-patterned concrete ceiling", "neon green mini tiles" are common building materials and techniques in 60’s- 80’s in Taiwan as well as the housing typology of "walk-up apartment", but cannot be found nowadays.
Inspiration
Currently most of the implemented plans for urban regeneration and development in Taipei are being carried out by reconstruction. The newly built tall walls block the surrounding environment and cut off the urban fabric. In contrast, this project offers another solution to walkup-apartments renovation with minimal environmental impacts, which is to create the "24 frames" as a framework of the space allowing client to integrate various fields together perfectly in a 50-year-old building.
Project Duration
The project started in April 2019 and built in May 2020 in Taipei
Operation Flow
Through the "24 frames", playful interactions are created among surroundings, visitors and the artworks.
