TD3 | Got Curves | 11.02.10

A trio of proposals with great curves.  You know there's an over-abundance of visuals when you can't remember posting a project or not... strange.

1. Taipei Pop Music Center

I showed another entry to the Taipei competition here, but thought this one, with images and text via Designboom, was equally interesting (although literal interpretations of Chinese dragons is a bit tired).

Via Arch Daily: "The pavilion allows visitors to experience the ocean’s ecosystems and different exhibits related to “man-made nature.” An ‘Ocean Gate’ takes the culture of the sea shore and shifts it vertically. This move creates a dynamic visual that is a constant reminder to the viewers of nature’s different environments. “It combines ocean ecosystem and architecture in accordance with the main theme of ‘Ocean & Life,” added the architects. Another part of the proposal, the ‘’Sustainable Ocean void space’, is formed by combining flowing water with the ecological environment."
