Dear HO YI MAO
Thank you very much for participating in the INSPIRELI EDUCATION International Student Competition. We very appreciate your time and effort to produce this excellent design work.
To begin with, I would like to thank the INSPIRELI AWARD structure for the honor you accord me to my person providing an analysis (comment) on the draft HO YI MAO _ NODE in Taiwan, Province of China.
The design was a very complex urban fabric, whose elements overlap and intermingle, and the perception of the visual landscape of the design was through visual images subject in their compositions to values derived from the aesthetics of urbanization along with functional, social, as well as cultural values on which planning thought and urban design are all based.
The intent of the design was to weave in the landscape and context that is unique to Taiwan and the site itself. Using form, transparency, and landscape, the design blurs the boundaries of inside/outside and site/building.
When approached from the street the building appears to be slightly elevated from the ground level, making the volume light and elongated in its architectural presence. Sitting on top of a concrete foundation, the five floors above ground are used for student housing and common spaces.
I congratulate you on innovative ideas to produce an integrated design with all its standards.
I also wish I could see in the design new directions within the framework of the application of sustainability standards is to seek to maintain and rehabilitate existing buildings and develop existing neighborhoods, so that they are environmentally friendly through solutions to reduce energy consumption and develop the green area
In the end you come up with a design that expresses the function of the building once you look at the building
Best Regards.
