From the tour to Taichyu Factory of Teikoku Seitou K.K., I see not only the charm of vitality, also the complete history.

Production Technology: To the south of the square, there are magnificent forest and hill landscape attractive to animals and people. The irregular riverside slopes and the elevated wood deck connected to the island on the central lake constitute the best platform for ecological education. What we see by walking on the shore trail are the traces of the historical sugar factory railway. The lake surrounded by the circular trail was the main railway of the in the past. The circular trail has a comprehensive view to the entire sugar factory, from which we learn not only its lovely appearance, also its complete history.

Lastly, the new location of the east district of Taichung, the conceptual image of East Gate of the provincial capital of Taichung, the view on the elevated railways, and the renovations of shops in Taiping District and Beitun District.
Research: Secondly, the regeneration of industrial culture and the continuation of sugar industry and railway culture embodied by the architectures and the environment arrange of the sugar factory combined with the railway traffic flow and scenery demonstrate exemplify the conceptual images and traces of sugar factory derived from the memory passing through the tunnel.
Inspiration: This project reorganizing the history of the sugar factory develops the stories and functions of space conformable with the developments of the factory.

Following the riverside pathway, we see the main building of the sugar factory where the wide square can accommodate a large crowd.
Project Duration: The project finished on the 16th of
Operation Flow: As to environmental resources and design skills, the lake signifying the urban hydrological and ecological sustainability is constructed with the drainage system with the springs and the gravel layers. A large volume of groundwater therefore flows towards the construction site. The underground tunnel systems support the growth of aquatic plants and permanent pond that establish the education of urban hydrology, the ecological island, and the habitat for water birds.
