Timeless architecture is the philosophy of Mecanoo & MAYU’s design for the National Taiwanese Archive: a building that hosts the memory and the collective identity.
The National Archives building is composed of two volumes: one that extends horizontally, forming a large canopy, protecting the ground floor, establishing the relation interior-exterior; the other, a perfect cube, landed on top of the horizontal volume.
Following its clear shape, the building is also organized in two zones: the public and the restrict access areas. The public zone is located in the east part of the site, connected to Wenhuayi road, while the restrict access area is organized on the west part.
There is a line of demarcation between the foyer dust area and the space of Residence BZ. There are two traffic flow choices for the users. They respectively lead to the dining room and living room. Many Y-shape frames travel in the space to play roles as the boundary area, interior light source and the ingenious designed hidden hooks. There is a good ventilation shoe cabinet made with the bamboos set in the semi-open foyer. We use the features of the materials to create private but not closed living space. 65 square meter resident meets the demand of three rooms, two halls and two bathrooms. Every area should be perfectly designed because the space is totally precious and the users will be very comfortable in it. Therefore we decide to allow the dining room to become the core of the space linking every corner, decreasing the walkway. In the meanwhile it can strengthen the relationship among the different space. Even more through the design of “light reuse”, the light of the study will be introduced into the room. Then the Y-shape layout makes the space close and spacious. It can also adjust space usages according to the changes of the family members.
When it comes to Industrial meeting Nordic styles, lines of vertical meeting curved, and colors of contrary meeting complementary, CHI-TORCH believes tones of different living kinds could blend in the meantime with thinking and imaginative sense of beauty.
More open to a wider public, Contemporary Art Museums are becoming hybrids programs and transforming the way that people approach to art and becoming real places to be. The key issue for New Taipei City Museum of Art is how to gather people and art while integrating the landscape into the museum and the museum into the park? In the “Art as lifestyle strategy” the project attributes equal importance to people than to exhibit spaces and art collections. Seeking a new equilibrium in the museum’s spatial structure, the project considers the people circulation as a raw matter to define and construct the museum experience. The architecture proposes to live the museum as a dynamic experience where people shall have an important role in shaping the museum’s image.
New tower museum uses Green Cell as a symbol for Yingge and New Taipei City.The cells consist of diverse materials, aggrupated in different functions, in order to adapt to different programmatic needs.A new technology based on a double skin is proposed for the museum. It serves as structure but also plays a key role in environmental sustainability.It provides a chance to regenerate and redefine the urban scape.

This is a large multi-program museum to be built on the outskirts of New Taipei City, Taiwan.
We wanted to make a museum that was well connected to the site and had extremely good public spaces, both interior and exterior. Drawing on the historical convergence of influences from several different nations over the centuries, the convergence of the rivers bounding the site, and the multi-use program of the museum itself we chose to work with the idea of convergence for this project.
But by pulling the park up into the project and by bending the building down into the ground we were able to create something that is in between building and landscape. It is easy to enjoy this museum weather you enter it or just have a picnic, up high on the grass with friends, while enjoying the view.

The new museum building has been designed in response to its context – to the park, river, city and surrounding mountains. The concept connects the building and its spaces with the unique features of the site and its surrounds.
Its form, spaces and circulation patterns have also been designed to provide a rich and scenographic experience for museum visitors and to offer maximum flexibility in the display and presentation of artworks and multimedia.
Our attempt in the New Taipei City Museum of Art competition is to find the essence of art and to materialize our notion of art; to redefine the meaning of art museum and to alter the way art museum functions; to organize a relationship between ourselves and the world around us. In addition to animate forms we have manipulated the movement in order to induce the production of new urban opportunities. Our proposal is a synthesis of the different programmatic functions: art museum, park, footbridge, services in a flexible, versatile space.
