Within this past month we featured STL, Sun & Associates and Maxwan’s proposal for the Kaohsiung Competition. Now, Ojanen Chiou shares with us their design for a Marine and Pop Music Center where they are aiming to bring the waterfront spaces of the marine port and the urban edge of the community together. The dynamic qualities of the form demonstrate not only a cultural heritage, but a look into the future of pop music cultures and activities for the city. More images and architect’s description after the break.
Like the warm southern Taiwan sun, Kaohsiung people are known to be passionate and unpretentious with an enthusiastic, vigorous character. Our design seeks to reflect this character while expressing the raw energy of the local pop music scene.
