上境設計－許富居

以東方人文庭園美學為設計原型，整體布局採以讓空間產生平衡感與焦點的軸線，並利用大量複層植栽設計及基地環境特性，導入基地外部水域環境，設置帶狀生態水池，作為調節氣候外，更營造綠意盎然、生態豐富的人文庭園意境，配合窗景營造將豐富的綠景層遞進建築室內，讓使用者在豐富綠意的空間中可對話自然、對話自我。

在設計考量基地東側臨生態溪流公園及鄰近大里溪的自然環境特性，配合由東向西漸低的地形高程，以東方人文庭園意境為發展原型，透過建物量體的外凸與內縮所形成的獨立空間，順勢將自然生態元素，透過環狀生態池的手法自基地東側漸次導引入西側入口大門，與鄰近生態豐富的公園與溪流，串連成一整體的生態區。

門廳前院配合建物水平線性的視覺張力，刻意大量留白，作為展館停車或大型活動的彈性使用空間，而舊廠房拆除後所保留下來的2棵老樟樹，配合環狀生態水池與複層植栽設計，翠綠盎然倚著生態池旁而立，象徵企業與展場強韌生命力的延續與對自然生態保育的尊重。自東而西流下的水流與生態池，倚著建物旁密密叢叢的綠林，穿越入口平台下而過，池中魚群悠游，兩側導入四季變化的高大綠景環繞，呈現豐富自然生態活力與多層次的藝術視覺張力，而駿馬藝術雕塑彷如躍馬般充滿生命活力的橫跨入口大門，與層層遞進的盎然綠景相輔，精緻而不浮誇。

後院延續基地東側生態溪流公園及大里溪自然環境，以清水牆局部開口方式，讓基地內的豐富綠景與外部自然環境連結分享，友善鄰里讓往來居民也可透過牆體開口享受到院內綠景與藝術結合的人文氛圍，達到展館空間共享的初心。而巧以框景方式展現視覺空間的趣味性，由四季變化的喬木與複層植栽構成高綠覆率的景觀步道，當日光透過樹葉搖曳的縫隙灑落地面，構成充滿豐富光感愜意的悠遊場域，將空間轉化為生態人文的氛圍。

以最低衝擊土地開發方式，建立友善環境地基地配置，並運用大量多重複層植栽結合環繞建物的生態水池，作為提供基地調節微氣候的功效，更與基地外的自然生態有了連結。結合周邊生態綠廊，以微型棲地為概念發想，擴大生態廊道範圍，透過多層次及高綠覆率的植栽配置，提供植物與昆蟲足夠的生長空間，將生態人文藝術無形的轉置在交誼的場域中，形成自然人文環境。

Inspired by aesthetics of eastern cultural gardens, the overall layout of the base focuses on creating an axis that balances the space. Other than bringing in lots of multilevel plantings and utilizing features of the base, the design team also introduces an aquatic ecosystem into the base by creating a belt ecological pond. This can not only help moderate the temperature but also build a conceptual narrative of a cultural garden of greenery. With the capacious window view, users inside the building can enjoy the green and find peace of mind.

The team took the surrounding environment into consideration in the designing process. Cooperating with the terrain feature that is high in the east and low in the west, the team kept the concept of eastern cultural gardens in mind, and utilized the odds and ends space by bringing in the eco elements through the belt ecological pond. The pond runs through the base from east to west, leading people to the entrance on west. With the lively ecopark and Dali River nearby, this becomes a complete ecotope.

The space in front of the entrance is deliberately left out, not only for visual intensity, but for parking or any possible activities. Two old camphor trees stand next to the pond, echoing the greenery around. They were kept when the old factory was torn down, representing strong vitality of the cooperation and the respect it holds toward nature. The water flows in the pond, fishes swimming in it, and on the sides are dense bushes around the building.  Next to the entrance stands trees that grows with the seasons. This all shows the richness in liveliness and layers of artsy visual intensity. The statue of a galloping horse collaborating with the clam greenery, brings out the delicacy in the design.

The natural theme goes on in the back yard with the Dali River and ecopark environment. Although a wall stands in between outside and the backyard, there are openings on it. This way, the outside and inside is connected, and the neighbors can enjoy the greenery and artsy vibe inside the garden, which achieves the originally goal set for the venue: to share. This way of enjoying the view through a frame also adds a sense of humor. The scenic trail is surrounded by deciduous trees and multilevel plantings. When the sun shine through the leaves and cast mottled shadows, it looks just like a picture. One that is bright and relaxing, and channels the space into an ambience for both people and nature. 

Developing the land in a lowest impact way, building an environment-friendly base, planting multilevel plantings and combining them with the ecological pond that surrounds the building, the design team aims to create a realm where people and nature can marry beautifully. The greenery and eco pond not only help with the climate, but also connect the base with the nature around it. Inspired by the idea of a mircohabitat, extension of the ecological passageway and the high green coverage ratio are all efforts made to provide sufficient growing space for plants and insects. People, the nature and art blend beautifully in the space, and creates a sphere of human ecology.
