FUPIN Nanjing

The architectural design venture is on the bustling Nanjing East Road in the heart of Taipei, Taiwan. It aims to erect a towering edifice that fulfills several functions, such as commercial space, offices, and congregate housing. The architect must consider the city’s landscape, the preservation of the ground floor, and other public interests while following government regulations. Due to the building's complexity, the architect must thoughtfully plan the floor configuration, circulation, spatial pattern, lobby, vertical system, and utility system to address the potential conflicts that arise from spaces with varying purposes. He employs precise design techniques, sharp styles, and appropriate materials to integrate structural mechanics and aesthetics. In planning the ground floor open space, the architect considers the neighboring land use control, urban layout, and environmental impact. He also prioritizes the arcade passageway, flow of the surrounding area for pedestrians and vehicles, as well as the connection of the exterior space. The team coordinates landscape design, greenery, and public-interest-related issue to create an accessible, visible, and barrier-free environment.
