The overall design scope of this project covered landscape, architecture, interior, and products, bringing together the innovation of structure and form, aiming to provide a comprehensive yet rhythmic spatial experience with a systematic scale. By means of the innovation of building technique and the proper blend of classic material and modern aesthetic, the project was a product development instruction to the tradition industry of hand-made bricks. 

Basic geometry was the rule and pattern of the design. The design emphasized the unity of logic through every stage from the form of architecture to its detail construction. The true minimalism lies in the minimalist logic. The overall design scope of this project covered landscape, architecture, interior, and products formed a systemic rhythm of different scales, so as to create a rich experience of profound and also gentle, varies from a macro to a micro scale. 

TIC Art Center is a public urban landmark project. The landscape, a prelude to the building, emits a magnificent atmosphere. The design team divided the landscape circulation route into upper and lower levels. Red ceramic bricks were utilized to build the loop circulation to create a sense of ceremony and provide a clear guide towards the building for people entering the space from different directions. Meanwhile, the black gravels-paved garden provides a more open and freer area to stop and rest, giving visitors another option for diverse experiences.

 The overall ‘passive design’ of the building minimizes energy consumption through the double-layer curtain wall system (clay brick grid + cavity + insulated low-e tempered glass) on the east, south and west facades. Compared with conventional curtain walls, the system reduces the heat conduction of the building by about 30% and estimated cooling energy consumption by 30%. At the same time, the 240mm-thick side openwork brick curtain wall system forms a sunlight filter, preventing glares caused by direct sunlight while enhancing the softness of the light through refraction. At the same time, the module design insured the construction efficiency and quality. 

A ‘valley’ passageway is constructed in the middle of the architecture. It created a highly through and interactive cavity within the building while separating the main displaying building volume from the operational annexe, it releases an uninterrupted touring experience within the main building. Therefore, multiple functions and flexible alteration of the building would be possible through its life cycle. 

The project successfully exerted its influence as a micro urban landscape. Its impact re-active the product trend of the tradition hand-made brick industry. It is a successful practice of environmental-friendly architecture. A module solution in architectural curtain wall. The built project has become a destination for numerous visitors, while contributing to the brand value of the client as well as the land value in the area.
