The temperature of the curtain wall thus stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter. In the winter, the wavy folds become favorable heat traps. Unlike large, flat, south facing curtain wall surface which would get constant direct solar exposure throughout the day, the wavy flutes of the tower create vertical shadow zones that glides across the tower’s elevation throughout the day in the exceedingly hot summers. The form concept produced great environmental benefits upon solar heat gain analysis. Vertically stacked, these Green Pockets become large scale “flutings” on the tower and form the wavy design of the Tower of Green Pockets.

Green Pockets are places for physical and mental recharge, refuge areas of greenery for resting, mingling, brainstorming and informal meetings away from the uniformity and long hours spent at the cubicles. The concept of Green Pockets as places for physical and mental recharge becomes the driving force for the architecture. The design goal was to provide a green Gold Energy listed (the second highest energy designation in Taiwan), people-centric work space for collaboration and sharing while working within the uniform efficiency of cubicles that accommodates the legions of high tech workers occupying 19 floors of offices.

Program: Park Visitor Center/Promotion office/Reading room/Cafe/Gym/Outdoor playground and Sports fields The application of building materials takes into account the urban character of this city park, while attempting to merge the building with its surrounding landscape and create a sense of affinity for its users. The zigzagged form of the building creates a sense of security for the plazas, also offering opportunities of seeing and be seen for people on different platforms. Horizontally extending, with roof wrapping down toward the earth, the building acknowledges its surrounding landscape. The form of the building profile draws inspiration from the angular lines of the distant Yinshan Mountain. The visitor center, together with the entry plaza, playground, and sports fields create integrated and a variety of spaces along the lakeshore. To the east of the building, a playground and several outdoor sports fields are arranged along the water edge. The circulating path invites people to pass through the building and enter the park’s heartland beyond.

To the building’s south side, the main entry plaza is formed by the curvature of the building, and part of the plaza is projected into the lake. The visitor center, situated along the north side of the lake, marks entry into the park. The masterplan reserves the lake - a scarce natural resource for Baotou city - towards the main road, bringing different landscape to the unanimously appeared urban green belt zone of the city. The Park’s natural environment is integrated with various leisure activities through the design of visitor center and its surrounding landscape. The starting point of the design is to create spaces accommodating recreational activities and provide interaction opportunities for the public. What Baotou city lacks is not green space, but a park with temperature - friendly to people, with open spaces to gather and communicate. The project is in Baotou - a Prairie city at the foot of Yinshan Mountain.
