Project Description
Located in the Pacific Rim earthquake zone, Taiwan has a beautiful landscape. The base is the highest school in Taiwan, and the project is to renovate the classrooms. The design team took deconstructive thinking with wood and light to create a campus that blends with nature.
Most of the renovations are multi-functional areas serving students, such as the outdoor terrace, corridors, classrooms, and reading area. The design team extracted the impression of nature and took wood, stone, and bamboo as the main visual, and branches, stakes, and bamboo tubes as the highlights. Finally, the floor-to-ceiling windows allow for natural lighting, blurring the boundary between inside and outside and illuminating the interior. The impression of the Book of Mountains and Forests allows the campus to integrate the aesthetics of nature, making beauty deeply rooted in each student's heart.
