The idea for this project comes from the space, time and mind set aspects.
In terms of space, we adopt Taiwan's unique geographical characteristics as the starting point, integrating landscape of Taiwan's ocean, plains, hills and mountains to transform as entrance, sky bridge, terraces, ramps, and observatory to highlight the design features.
On the issue of time, the open space is turned into a serious playground that could tell stories about Taiwan history. Such as an indigenous adventure playground at west and the city plaza of future at east to bring children experience the time travel by playing.
On the mind set level, this project is tend to provide children with imagination, creativity, courage to explore, and independent thinking ability to face the future throuigh exhibnitions.
The site is located at city center and the junction of subway, train and bus terminal. People from different traffic vehicles could approach this project through underground tunnel, sky bridge and urban open space. For different approaching, we set up the outdoor open space as a serious time travel playgrounds,
An indigenous adventure playground area at west to connects existing urban green space and bus terminal. The city plaza of future at east connects train station and commercial area combine with skybridges which could provide unique lighting, sound as an amphitheater.
The building itself creates many large terraces connected with ramps and ladders to allow the activities extent from indoor to outdoor to blur the building boundary and allow visitors merge into the urban surroundings.
This project, being a highly demonstrative public building, is planning to integrate net-zero building principles based on the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs). This includes EEWH Green Building Certification, low-carbon design, green energy adoption, sustainable materials, smart architectural planning, and a focus on healthy living.
To create the country's first national-level children's museum, this project will fully implement a green construction program from the design and construction phases. Most structure material use recycled steel, as weel as interior drywall and landscape pavement using recycled materials. One of the special feature is to use local thinning wood and bamboo as exterior louver and finishing materior to reach the goal of corban fixing and allow the forest grow.
Children’s museums are unique in that they are not collections museums. As an activity museum, a children’s museum presents abroad menu of often bold, often unusual, sometimes contemplative, and hopefully memorable activities that children and their caregivers engage for the purposes of 1) character-building, 2) sense of life formation, 3) family bonding, 4) play-based education and 5) fun. Children’s museums are driven by informal learning through active play.
Our main objectives were to demonstrate how the program blocks could be distributed into distinctive, dramatic “worlds” or interior landscapes. These worlds will be comprised of many program blocks, including guest amenities like restaurants and shops. Within each world, there will be multiple exhibits, tied together by a common theme and setting, and each world will offer a multitude of interactive, multi-generational components. In addition, the central atrium in this project can be used as a patio for natural ventilation and lighting. On the other hand, it is also could be the center and control point of visual and circulation. Behind the both side elevators, there are public toilets and other service facilities that comply with universal design and barrier-free design. It can provide enough family resting and dining space, taking into account the space quality, operation control and user-friendly environment.
As the first children's museum in Taiwan, we have a lot to learn and explore. This project is supposed to base on Taiwan and looking forward to the world. We hope to reveal Taiwan's characteristics in the overall planning and retain the flexibility for future development. This design cleverly transforms Taiwan’s landscape into space vocabulary and creates a smooth and vivid usage pattern indoors and outdoors. It also reserves the possibility and convenience in operation and management.
