員山こどもの公園

Yuanshan Children's Park

かつて台湾軍の訓練地であった場所を、子どものための公園につくり変えるプロジェクト。日本人によって神社が建立されたこともある敷地付近の員山に呼応するように、コンクリートによる山のような半外部のヴォールト空間によって、イベントや運動など多様な使われ方が可能な場所をつくった。建物とランドスケープを一体的に考え、山を登るように屋根に上り、さらにそこからさまざまな景色を見ながらタワーを上がっていくと、地上22mの展望台からは３つの川の合流点が見える。

This project transformed a former training ground for the Taiwanese military into a park for children. In response to nearby Yuanshan Mountain, where a shrine was once built by the Japanese, a mountain-like semi-external vaulted space made of concrete was created to allow for a variety of uses, including events and exercise. The building and landscape were considered as one, and visitors could climb to the roof as if climbing a mountain, and then continue on up the tower, enjoying the various views from there, until they reached an observation deck 22m above ground that allowed them to see the confluence of three rivers.

*Project role at Fieldoffice Architects included competition, basic design and detailed design.
