This arts building in Taichung is by the famous Japanese architect, Toyo Ito, who leads a major international architecture office in Tokyo, Japan. He was the winner of the Pritzker Prize in 2013.
The building is a multi-purpose stadium in the Zuoying District of Kaohsiung and currently has the largest stadium capacity in Taiwan. The arena is used mostly for athletics and rugby events, but after the games finished the building has also been used for Taiwan football team matches.
The building has two main architectural devices: glass walls that ring the entire museum and open it up to the natural light, and a darker yet airy roof canopy that resembles billowing sails.
Ito represents the visual complexity of Tokyo metaphorically in terms of a never-ceasing, ever-changing wind. The tower, a light sculpture that responds to wind speed and directions, was designed years before anyone else explored the use of photo-responsive glass or ‘interactive architecture’ in the same way.
