| DESIGN NAME: The Wheel PRIMARY FUNCTION: Pavilion INSPIRATION: The Sustainable Homeland "2018 Taichung World Flora Exposition" aims at inviting people from all over the world to reflect on the relationship between humans and nature, to listen to the message passed from nature, and to take care of our land and nature. The project is as the demonstration of the sustainable homeland. Derived from the most basic needs of human: food and houses, we proposed a possible sustainable lifestyle which re-connects human with nature. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In order to raise public understanding to nature, we placed nature at the center in the house, while the living space surrounded it to form a subordination relation. The core of sustainable homeland is nature, which are the land that feeds us, the plants, the creatures, the light, the sounds, the wind, the rain, the change of four seasons, the time and the spirit. The internal nature is constantly perceived, paid attention to, taken care of, and learned, and human beings are inspired by this. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The project strengthens the inner natural power through a circular layout. Cohesion: Due to the centripetal force generated by the circular wall, in the primary living space, human behaviors will naturally face toward center, which helps strengthen the sensitivity of things happened in the circle. Structural: The type of anti-structure helps to disperse seismic forces and wind. Mobility: The interlaced curve and the space of flows enhance a vivid effect in the house. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in November 2017 and finished in July 2018, and is going to exhibite in 2018 Taichung World Flora Exposition from November 3, 2018 to April 28, 2019.
