Cortex Plan

We consider the park of CKS as the largest piece of isolated region in the Taipei city, hoping here is a start as a social condenser to become a meeting point of the urban life in Taipei. By overlapping and collide the events, the scattered people are force to interact with each other again. In this way, people can feel the relationship between individuals and groups, and re-examine their position in the big city of Taipei.

Imagine CKS Memorial Hall cut into countless containers free from the constraints of time, life, and the city, with individuals and groups in the same container. These containers represent the ideal world free from the restriction of the metropolis, combining sensory and emotional. Memory space experiences allow people to temporarily detach from the city and rethink the urban landscape of Taipei.

Ground Floor Plan

Strategy

Activities that happen in the park of CKS are arranged by a matrix plan after resetting the MRT station. Functions in the park are planned to complement other programs on the site, which create plazas to allow different activities to take place.

With an organic cortex, group activities are taking place above the park, while independent programs are happening in each container, under the cortex.
