This project is about a Taiwan fire station competition. Due to the intense
program requirement, extremely strict fire-control regulation and the
surrounding green elements, in this proposal we focus on two key points: the
first is to shorten the setting- out time of the firefighters through
manipulating building layout, the second is to connect the landform and the
architecture itself through form manipulation. Based on these two strategies,
the 6 meters height-parking space was deployed in the east-north corner in
order to connect to the major road and sub route to speed up the fire truck
launching time. Meanwhile in order to use the space efficiently, we create one
mezzanine in between this 6 meters height parking space and use this one to connect
the backside landscape and future police station. This space configuration
provide multi-activities plate for the fire fighters not only for training
space but also for fire-control educations, and also make the building and the
landscape become one geometrical entity.
