Geometry

-Project Overview- 　　The planning for this project was developed by architect Mao Shen-Chiang. The design is based on pure geometric elements, defining three types of modules. These prototypes were designed to meet specific functional needs and then stacked, interspersed, and rotated to fit the overall spatial proportions. 　　This reception center, established for the architectural planning of the Cing Jing Lin Group, is located in the Tainan High-Speed Rail redevelopment zone. The architect applied an exterior color scheme based on the nature of the main project. To accommodate the idea of quick assembly and disassembly, steel structures and curtain wall systems were selected for the construction, influencing the overall design and volume planning; The materials employed impart a sense of lightness and grace to the overall spatial structure. -Project Brief- 　　This reception center is named "Geometry – Born from Purity," with the core concept of "MOSAIC". 　　The architect initially conceived the design by manipulating geometric volumes through aggregation. Later, the massing was refined and simplified to meet the specific requirements and floor plan configuration. Throughout this process, three core principles were maintained: pure geometric form, stable and rational construction interfaces, and an intuitive and comfortable user experience. 　　Functional areas, such as open spaces, sample rooms, and ancillary spaces, are allocated based on the structural type. The overall roof system, including sun shading and rainwater drainage, is then planned. Finally, indoor ventilation and air exchange are evaluated and designed. 　　Based on the above elements, this project can improve the construction and the environmental impact during the usage phase. -Project Innovation/Need- 　　In Taiwan, most reception centers are built temporary buildings on site(or near), which will be demolished when construction begins. So, this type of building must be flexible during disassembly. The architect chooses the construction methods of the pre-cast material for the structure. This way can help the building significantly reduce the construction time when deconstructed and reduce various industrial waste. 　　Architect Mao Shen-Chiang believes that triangles, quadrilaterals, and circles are the prototypes of geometric figures, the origin of design, and the foundation of everything, representing the essence of painting. By constructing with pure geometric elements, the simplicity, geometric shapes, and abstract concepts are highlighted, aiming to express deeper thoughts through simplified forms and break through the thinking of spatial composition to a new level. 　　This project similarly embodies the exploration of geometrics and a redefinition of space and manipulates triangles and quadrilaterals to research a unique architectural appearance, meanwhile highlighting the purity of form, color, and space； The overall exploration of form, space, and technique resonates with the core principles of Suprematism, presenting a sense of harmony in the design, as if narrating the balance between form and space, echoing the static abstract forms of Malevich.
