Taichung International Convention Center
The Forest of Tree Glare Created by Tree Gate
This is a strategic convention facility in Taichung City aimed at promoting key companies that support the high-tech industry. The facility is located at the northern entrance of the 2-kilometer-long Central Park, the “Green Park,” which runs north-south through the “Water and Economic Trade Park.” Inspired by the concept of a park full of greenery and a gateway to the development area, we proposed a “Tree Gate” as a building that leads people into the park.
Dividing the exhibition space on the west into two parts, the conference hall on the east, and creating a large, tree-shaped gate roof called the "Tree Gate" that overlaps the volumes, we have planned a semi-outdoor plaza. The "Tree Gate," which adapts the traditional semi-outdoor space in Taiwan to modern times, is expected to be home to various activities such as outdoor exhibitions and event spaces.
"Tree Gate" is composed of a three-dimensional truss to create organic curved surfaces. The triangular grid panels that form the outer shell are arranged randomly, simulating the light that filters through the trees during a sunny day. The roof is also composed of triangular grid panels, and a large area of solar panels is installed in the center to raise awareness of reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
