The Kaohsiung Port and Cruise Service Center proposal by HMC Architects envisions an iconic gateway to the City of Kaohsiung, and a lens into the outer-world visualized from within. It creates a new urban datum—an inviting gesture— to allow a new connection between visitors, citizens, and the City of Kaohsiung. This gateway is designed to serve as a physical and economical impetus to the City’s goal of transforming its waterfront from its industrial past into an inviting future. The proposed 300,000-SF, eight-story terminal is efficient, adaptive, and lucid while fostering a poetic and interactive space that embraces a vibrant urban serendipity. The program consists of cruise and international ferry terminals, 700-space subterranean parking garage, and a Port Bureau office. In a quest for calmness in the occasion of traveling, interior spaces are bathed with comfortable natural light and vistas to ocean and city to create an uplifting experience to maritime travelers and commuters. Its transparency optimizes way-finding, a key element in mitigating people movement, allowing the building to effectively embrace its users’ constant motion and accommodate occasional sudden influx of massive cruise passenger volume. As a sustainable structure that resonates seamlessly with its context, the building design is sculpted by the forces of nature. Its carefully calculated tilting self-shading exterior envelope closely calibrates with the path of the sun and wind to allow this mostly glass building to achieve outstanding energy performance. The extensive elevated boardwalk and green roof promote biodiversity and enhance planting green index to allow the design to target EEWH Silver certification and LEED Gold certification.

The undulating surface strategy also responds the wind conditions in Kaohsiung. Applying undulating and curved skins onto the building minimizes friction and turbulence effects in the surrounding outdoor spaces. To reduce energy consumption, the team rigorously explored passive strategies and determined that the local climate’s high humidity would prohibit the use of natural ventilation. Instead, the Port and Cruise Service Center uses the mixed mode system by utilizing economizer and outside air, ensuring a comfortable, healthy environment for visitors and occupants. Terrazzo flooring material was also integrated into the design as a thermal mass to reduce cooling loads.

The design incorporates several daylight strategies, such as appropriate façade materials, shading devices, and skylights that maintain optimal daylight levels without glare discomfort. Introducing spandrel in certain locations reduced glazing area and heat gain, and increased energy efficiency. In addition, the spandrel reduces noise from the outside environment.

B South façade is designed with

a greater tilt angle with ceramic frit pattern to block direct solar radiation from southern exposure. Tilted glass with frit pattern along boarding concourse to reduce solar heat gain from southern exposure and reduce discomfort glare, while maintaining vista to outside

with recycled content to reduce heat gain K Light wells are provided to allow

natural air circulation into the subterranean parking garage L Rainwater collected in cistern

and drip irrigation reduces water use and evaporation

C Terracotta tube exterior cladding

landscape coverage, including bus parking turf block for driveway area E A bike path continues from adjacent

sites into the terminal site in order to provide a bike friendly waterfront and encourage locals and visitors to use the elevated boardwalk F Roof is covered with photovoltaic
