In the beginning of the project, I took the advantage of an existing gazebo in Tainan Park and built an observation tower on it, turning it into a new feature of the park. To begin with, the gazebo acts as a foundation, with a new mast raised on top of its center column. Besides, there are layers of platforms and steps, which enable visitors to ascend gradually. Moreover, the bowl-shaped units connected to the mast at different heights and angles stabilize the mast.

On the other hand, I put cable nets into my design, the woven structure system not only provides transparency, allowing visitors to experience the dynamic change of height and view, but also transfers compression force and lateral force to the base, stabilizing the whole structure at the same time.

Site area : 3380 m2

The site of the swimming pool is located between the serene campus and the bustling street, with an existing 2-meter altitude difference. We aim to design a canopy for the pool and respond the marked contrast of the site through its form.

To begin with, the roof gradually transforms from delicate planks to dramatic arches, with V-columns and X-columns supported on each end. The side-by-side units provide mutual resistance to the thrusts, also we placed the external beam on the outer side of the units for resistance. Furthermore, there are glasses as water channels between the units, which bring rhythmic light and shadow effects into the swimming pool.
