Taiwan's varied natural landscape, characterized by stark elevation contrasts between hills and valleys, serves as a key inspiration. Elements of ascending and descending terrains are strategically integrated as the foundational axis for spatial and structural development. Utilizing freeform surfaces and a play of levels, the aim is to forge a reading space that is both organic and engaging. The design also thoughtfully reflects the surrounding environment and populace, connecting with the influx from the Presidential Office and adjacent urban parks. This extension of the urban green belt's axis enriches the interactive experience between readers and the natural environment.
The fusion of reading spaces with the concept of public parks has led to a unique visitor experience: 'Entering the park is akin to entering a library, and a park stroll becomes an act of perusing books.' This concept effectively dissolves the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing users to relish the unprecedented experience of reading amidst nature, while simultaneously committing to the principles of sustainable architectural practices.
