the most u can say is the rendering looks dated. initial draftings almost never closely resemble the final product. some drama queens just luv to jump to conclusion. bien tai :yuck: :slob: :yuck:

[Razqal]

how else can you judge the architecture and design of a not-yet constructed building BUT from the rendering? until they have a better and more accurate rendering, then i can say in my opinion the design of the building looks dated. bien tai :koko: :slob: :yuck: :slob: :koko:

it may look dated and ugly, but at least it is an improvement in quality to the overall Taiwanese urban landscape.

they need to change this extremely overly detailed design. can you imagine how dirty and old this building will quickly become in taipei's humid weather, sooty air and general pollution? they should just clad the entire building with glass so it can be easily cleaned by window washers.

I think this design is pretty good.
No matter, the design is suitable for Taipei weather or not, the most important thing is Taiwanese people change their mind. If they care about the place they live, they can maintain the buildings very well.
I think design is not the problem, the problem is does Taiwanese care?

Taipei Aquapearl Urban Redevelopment Project

http://2009honorawards.aiaseattle.org/node/176

In January 2008, the Taipei, Taiwan government passed a new plan called “Good Looking Taipei 2010” to encourage developers to make Taipei a beautiful place to live, focusing on improving: public space, pedestrian traffic, infrastructure, indoor common space, iconic community spaces, and sustainability.

Aquapearl, the largest urban redevelopment project planned in Taiwan, is a successful collaboration between developer, architects, Taipei City, and over 300 current property owners all with the common goal of revitalizing the Songjiang District. It will be a world class mixed-use project, setting the standard for future projects in Taiwan. As an iconic symbol that generates excitement and buzz amongst the surrounding neighborhoods, Aquapearl respects the culture by providing a civic identity and a community gathering place that reinvigorates the area.

The major organizing element in the master plan is the Aquapearl Sunken Plaza which accentuates an existing site amenity, the subway connection, by incorporating retail, an outdoor performance stage, and lush landscape gardens at the subway level. The Sunken Plaza transforms an otherwise utilitarian space into an amenity for the entire community.

Aquapearl creates a drastic improvement in the quality of life for the 300 current land owners by providing six luxurious residential towers, ranging from 10 to 25 stories, and a variety of retail and restaurants. The project includes energy and water saving measures through the project’s orientation, lush landscaping, water features, and solar energy. A delicate balance of landscaped public spaces and residential density energizes the entire district.
