STRINGS of CREATIVENESS

Inspired by future tech, how to grasp the balance precisely within the cold tones of technology was the critical point of this project. The overall applied curved elements in many ways to correspond with track construction, the essence of this design while weakening visual impacts brought by the initial spatial volume. By infusing warm color tones, the interior delivers a unique sense through its appearance and colors. Given the trending AI era, the school hoped to give students opportunities to experience the convenience and comprehensiveness of technology. A new common room is built in the atrium of the main engineering building with the concept of microarchitecture. Through this forward-looking academic space, the designer and the school hoped to create a portal for students and researchers a glance at the future. The sun's angle above gives more natural daylighting than side faces. Hence, linear openings are created on the ceiling to increase brightness while maintaining transparency; they echo the axis of track construction and projection imagery. At the same time, the walls and the roof are intentionally separated; the gaps in between have given the space a lightness that eliminates the tension indoors. The ingenuity adds richness and aesthetic through the shadows and lights of the natural lightings drawn from the outside. During the daytime, no electric lights will be needed to brighten up the interior. Furthermore, a moire coat is applied in many ways; it is a water-based weathering resin made of natural inorganic filler and paints. The eco-friendly material can reveal dark and bright colors while constructing and creating layers and grains like clouds and marble stones.
