Respect The Existing / Simplicity
Located next to the landmark building with complex outline and confident display of the Taipei Art Museum, the design of the project uses a minimal and subtle design language, respecting the adjacent buildings, and making the relationship between the adjacent buildings more relaxed and harmonious.
Respond To Our Time / Lightness
Although respecting the existing art museum, through the high-performance but lightweight architectural language of the collection hall, the design tells a contemporary story while adding value to the existing art museum environment.
Refine The Connection / The Art Boulevard
We propose a new collection avenue where people can enjoy the art collections of the museum while roaming on foot. The purpose is to bring life into the east side of the art gallery, and at the same time perfect a ring-shaped connection line for the art park.
The relationship between the existing and the new
We intend to respect the existing landmark buildings through innovative and contemporary language, while satisfying the functionality of collection efficiency. The collection building is a simple volume, but its façade exterior materials can reflect the surrounding environment. It is planned to create two links between the new collection hall and the two buildings of the main building, 1: design the working channels to meet the needs of art collection processing, 2: an open space designed on the sinking plaza on the north side of the base and the east side of the restaurant on the second basement floor of the main building are mutually connected. Furthermore, the sinking of the square will enhance the publicity of the restaurant, library and other spaces of the museum, and the square itself will also become a stage for artistic participation.
Environment/Interface
Regarding the improvement of the south entrance door, we also uphold the spirit of respecting the existing building, retaining the appearance of the building, and only install a second shell on the inside of the building to create a naturally ventilated air layer, which effectively blocks heat radiation and takes away hot air, reducing the south energy consumption.
