Kaohsiung Shopping Centre
A vibrant new landmark has appeared in the fast and modern city of Kaohsiung: the luxury shopping center Star Place. Both outside and inside, the building radiates dynamism and the kind of bright perfection that the architect refers to as the ‘Made in Heaven Effect’. Everything about the building moves the eye.

Design: Kubota & Bachmann Architects

Taipei City Museum of Art
The New Taipei City Museum of Art is designed as an association with a crane (bird as a symbol of longevity), which embodies the concept of the nature and human needs for arts, into one building structure. This design proposal is based on the three possible ways to “get in” to the Cranes (bird) nest – Museum of Art.

Historically, Taiwanese culture has encompassed a rich blend of Confucian Han Chinese, Japanese, European, American, southern Asian, and indigenous influences. This diversity, combined with Taiwan’s ongoing social and political struggle for self-determination, has forged a strong, distinctive and resilient national identity.

Taipei Performing Arts Centre Proposal
The dichotomy between high and low culture is slowly disappearing. But how can we create an environment that is inspiring for everyone? Is it possible to be elitist and populist at the same time? How can we envision a truly Public building?

The unique urban and architectonical distribution of the complex is such to become permeable to the traffic flows and to the views. All its elements thus participate in a unique internal space.
