The Wisdom Everywhere is not just a space; it's an experience. The designers have meticulously incorporated minor elaborated elements into the architecture, creating a sense of surprise and intrigue. The design of the grille, the intersection between the floor and wall, and the perpendicular between the doorknob and door panel all demonstrate the arc design concept. These elements, along with specific items, materials, and recognitions, are ingeniously integrated, forming a uniform symbol of design.
What sets The Wisdom Everywhere apart from contemporary architectural spaces is its homage to traditional hand-making skills. Behind the lobby, the guest room reveals a warm atmosphere created by the delicate terrazzo floor embedded with copper lines, walls made of straw and plaster, and intricate wooden and iron works. This hand-made warmth is a stark contrast to the machine components often found in modern spaces.
The design realization technology used in The Wisdom Everywhere is equally impressive. The artworks of Japanese cypress and large facilities serve multiple purposes. They act as a mailbox and shelter in the lobby, while also being the visual concentration in the entire space. The fragrance of woods, the rough quality, curved and invigorating lines, and sophisticated atmosphere engage the senses, providing guests with an unprecedented experience.
The Wisdom Everywhere is more than just a building; it represents a form of real life, encompassing both the modern and the old-fashioned, and multiple characteristics. It stands at the intersection of a new and old urban district in Taichung City, a location chosen for its convenient living mechanisms and large green park. This design project, completed in 2016, is a testament to the potential of public space design to transform the urban landscape.
Despite the challenges faced during the design process, including the creation of a calm and reserved atmosphere in the lobby through intersected configurations, The Wisdom Everywhere stands as a testament to the designers' creativity and technical prowess. This design, which was awarded the prestigious Golden A' Design Award, is indeed a reflection of the designers' prodigy and wisdom. It is a venerated product and bright idea that advances art, design, and technology, embodying extraordinary excellence and significantly impacting the world with its desirable characteristics.
