The Geometric Array



To commemorate the victims of the air raid during the World War II that took place on the Zhongxing Paper Mill, the memorial park was designed in a geometric array to resemble the scars that were inflicted to humanity, gradually healing through the soothing waves of the flowing paperscapes, moving forward to the new world, but never forgotten.



The Flowing Paperscapes



To preserve the importance of Zhongxing Paper Mill - one of the most important papermaking factories in Taiwan - this landscape was designed under the concept of papers; the delicate yet flexible characteristic, transformed into waves of landscapes that continuously flow, directing the axis of the landscape, also depicting the uniqueness of papers, creating the Flowing Paperscapes.



Design Purpose

The cultural park was once a paper factory. During the World War II, the factory was air-raided, thus the landscape is to commemorate the victims, and to preserve the imagery of the factory. As an outdoor public space, the design has to be universal and could benefit people from all ages. The Paperscapes were designed not just as a memorial landscape, but as an outdoor activity and leisure space for the park, the different heights of the waves also designed for children to play in. The paperscapes preserve memories from the past, also bring hope for the future.
