Shao-mo Memorial Gymnasium
Concept of design
The gymnasium cooperates with the overall planning and design of the campus, and uses the outdoor platform corridor as the connection between the gymnasium and the campus. At the same time, it serves as a semi-open student activity space. The colour style is designed to reduce the impact on the surrounding environment, creating a harmonious environment. The whole building is based on the traditional white color line of Tamkang, and the Chinese-style railings are used as the main image of the design to meet the overall visual experience. The large-scale glass curtain is used on the front side, with the sun shining far and wide, and the evening scenes in full view. As for the material, the steel and glass are two modern materials to shape the building’s sense of science and technology. The towering pillars and cantilevered fronts consolidate the entrance image and show the immortality of the building.
