The winning proposal’s design reflects Sou Fujimoto’s philosophy of Primitive Future, as the “21st Century Oasis” aspires to be a model of green architecture for the future generations.

Courtesy of Sou Fujimoto ArchitectsThe Oasis strives to embody the 21st Century spirit of Taiwan, similar to the Eiffel Tower and 20th Century Paris. The tower gracefully rises above the city at the southern tip of Taichung Gateway Park, part of the former Taichung (Shuinan) Airport site.
Banyan + Formosa – Courtesy of Sou Fujimoto ArchitectsThe project is comprised of two main elements – the grand structural frame and the roof-top garden. Inspired by the Taiwanese Banyan tree, the structural frame creates a shaded, semi-outdoor space as it encases the site. Simultaneously, the roof-top garden floats 300 meters above, representing the richness of beauty and nature of Formosa (Divine Island).
Courtesy of Sou Fujimoto ArchitectsRenewable energy systems and passive design techniques include a green roof, rainwater harvesting, solar hot water panels, wind turbine, photovoltaic cells, ground source heat pump, desiccant air-handling unit and natural ventilations by Solar Stack Effect. The Oasis will achieve LEED Gold.
Courtesy of Sou Fujimoto ArchitectsThe superstructure of the tower will be steel construction comprised of Perimeter Columns, Inner Columns, Intermediate Columns, Spiral Beams and Roof Beams. All columns will be circular hollow sections of about 800mm in diameter. The “Taiwan Cone” is made of the Inner Columns, arranged longitudinally for aesthetics. The Perimeter Columns and Intermediate Columns are placed both vertical and leaning so they may resist lateral wind and earthquake loads.
Courtesy of Sou Fujimoto ArchitectsSpiral Beams form two spiral-shaped braced planes, which extend from the ground to the roof between Perimeter Columns and Inner Columns. They are expected to prevent buckling. Each spiral plane rises about 30 meters near the ground, the point in which the axial forces of the columns are relatively high. The rise continues to gradually increase up to about 60 meters as it goes higher.
Courtesy of Sou Fujimoto ArchitectsThe light of the tower has “no obvious form”, as it represents an all natural phenomenon. The transparent, nonobjective feel is perceived as an “air-like light.” The roof-top garden is the three-dimensional continuation of the green-belt. The tower is meant to be graceful in nature and ever-changing, similar to the people of Taiwan.

MERELAKAN pancaindera bersatu dengan alam semula jadi sambil menghirup udara segar, memang pengalaman paling menggembirakan hati. Seakan-akan semua masalah yang ditanggung berlalu pergi.
Ruang untuk bersendiri pasti menjadi pilihan setiap kali mahu memuntahkan kemelut di fikiran. Jika anda ingin kelainan percutian yang menyeronokkan dan membantu merehatkan otak, apa kata memilih Casabrina Vacation Villa & Spa yang terletak di tengah kawasan hutan Raub, Pahang. Kawasan seluas 10.9 hektar di lereng bukit itu sememangnya menawarkan pengalaman baru buat sesiapa sahaja, sejurus menjejakkan kaki di situ. Cita rasa tinggi pemilik vila, Felix Tee yang memilih konsep Bali, Indonesia menambah lagi pesona serta menghimpun rasa teruja tatkala melangkah ke ruang utama Vila Amertani dan Aranya.
Segenap pelosok bangunan menggunakan khidmat arkitek Bali terkenal, AA Yoka Sara menjadi jiwa umpama dibuai keasyikan yang sukar diungkap dengan kata-kata.
Keseluruhan perabut yang menata dekorasi dalamannya diimport dari Bali sementelah hanya kayu Berlian menjadi pilihan. Justeru bukanlah sesuatu yang memeranjatkan apabila diberitahu kos pembinaan setiap satu vila tersebut mencecah RM7 juta.
”Sejak enam tahun lalu saya hanya berkongsi kediaman ini secara eksklusif bersama keluarga dan rakan terdekat pada setiap hujung minggu. Tetapi, setelah difikir kembali, alangkah baik kalau kesegaran yang saya nikmati ini dikongsi dengan kelompok yang lebih besar.
”Maka di situlah timbul idea untuk mengkomersialkan milik persendirian saya ini untuk kunjungan orang ramai. Lebih membanggakan apabila tempat ini turut mendapat perhatian pelancong luar negara,” jelas Tee.
Vila yang mendapat status enam bintang itu juga menyediakan pelbagai kemudahan percutian termasuk jakuzi, sauna, kolam renang dan bilik makanan yang dibuka 24 jam. Tahap kebersihan cukup memuaskan kerana setiap sudut kawasan di vila ini dipantau pencemaran dari masa ke masa.
Bagi yang mahukan perkhidmatan spa dan refleksologi kaki, tuan rumah akan mendapatkan khidmat tukang urut professional dari China. Khidmat pengasuh anak kecil juga disediakan andai anda ingin menyertai aktiviti di sekitar kawasan vila.
Kualiti masakan yang dihidangkan pula tidak perlu dipertikaikan. Tukang masak persendirian menyediakan juadah mengikut selera pengunjung semasa. Percutian anda menjadi indah dan diingati andai kriteria pemakanan dititik berat serta menjadi sebahagian daripada pakej penginapan.
Setiap pagi pengunjung dapat melihat kabus yang meliputi kawasan gunung serta menikmati perubahan alam dari gelap hingga cerah sambil dihidangkan bunyi-bunyian unggas.
Jangan lepas peluang untuk melihat perubahan warna langit terutama saat matahari tenggelam. Tentunya pencinta alam tidak mengelipkan mata sepanjang tempoh perubahan tersebut.
“serupa kelahiran, kebebasan menjadi sepasang sayap untuk terbang meraih bintang imajinasi tanpa batas, sekaligus akar yang mengantar kita kembali ke rumah.”

‘ I think damaged happened to you the last few days called symptoms of Schizophrenia Sir..” Dea said last night at Danes Art Veranda diagnostically concluding my frustration, the only feeling left after ‘being INVOLVED and stabbed from the back’ in Bali Creative Festival 2011 recently.
So, I did a lil research to find out more about this ‘new’ word and anxiety -worst than moment of hangover after got drunk on ‘Tuak’ , will be last and disappeared no longer than 3 days maximum- trying to understand precisely on her and probably I could find myself the cure.
Never been as frustrated as this before.. with no mean of pointing finger and scapegoating……
here some hints found from finger tip to wikipedia;
A person diagnosed with schizophrenia may experience hallucinations (most reported are hearing voices), delusions (often bizarre or persecutory in nature), anddisorganized thinking and speech. The latter may range from loss of train of thought, to sentences only loosely connected in meaning, to incoherence known as word saladin severe cases. Social withdrawal, sloppiness of dress and hygiene, and loss of motivation and judgment are all common in schizophrenia.[6] There is often an observable pattern of emotional difficulty, for example lack of responsiveness.[7] Impairment in social cognition is associated with schizophrenia,[8] as are symptoms of paranoia; social isolation commonly occurs.[9] In one uncommon subtype, the person may be largely mute, remain motionless in bizarre postures, or exhibit purposeless agitation, all signs of catatonia.[10]
Late adolescence and early adulthood are peak periods for the onset of schizophrenia,[2] critical years in a young adult’s social and vocational development.[11] In 40% of men and 23% of women diagnosed with schizophrenia the condition manifested itself before the age of 19.[12] To minimize the developmental disruption associated with schizophrenia, much work has recently been done to identify and treat the prodromal (pre-onset) phase of the illness, which has been detected up to 30 months before the onset of symptoms.[11] Those who go on to develop schizophrenia may experience transient or self-limiting psychotic symptoms[13] and the non-specific symptoms of social withdrawal, irritability, dysphoria,[14] and clumsiness[15] during the prodromal phase.
The psychiatrist Kurt Schneider (1887–1967) listed the forms of psychotic symptoms that he thought distinguished schizophrenia from other psychotic disorders. These are called first-rank symptoms or Schneider’s first-rank symptoms. They include delusions of being controlled by an external force; the belief that thoughts are being inserted into or withdrawn from one’s conscious mind; the belief that one’s thoughts are being broadcast to other people; and hearing hallucinatory voices that comment on one’s thoughts or actions or that have a conversation with other hallucinated voices.[16] Although they have significantly contributed to the current diagnostic criteria, the specificityof first-rank symptoms has been questioned. A review of the diagnostic studies conducted between 1970 and 2005 found that they allow neither a reconfirmation nor a rejection of Schneider’s claims, and suggested that first-rank symptoms be de-emphasized in future revisions of diagnostic systems.[17]
Schizophrenia is often described in terms of positive and negative (or deficit) symptoms.[18] Positive symptoms are those that most individuals do not normally experience but are present in people with schizophrenia. They can include delusions, disordered thoughts and speech, and tactile, auditory, visual, olfactory and gustatoryhallucinations, typically regarded as manifestations of psychosis.[19] Hallucinations are also typically related to the content of the delusional theme.[20] Positive symptoms generally respond well to medication.[20] Negative symptoms are deficits of normal emotional responses or of other thought processes, and respond less well to medication.[6] They commonly include flat or blunted affect and emotion, poverty of speech (alogia), inability to experience pleasure (anhedonia), lack of desire to form relationships (asociality), and lack of motivation (avolition). Research suggests that negative symptoms contribute more to poor quality of life, functional disability, and the burden on others than do positive symptoms.[21] People with prominent negative symptoms often have a history of poor adjustment before the onset of illness, and response to medication is often limited.[6][22]

But, after thought and seen what Dea have demonstrated in “Celebrating the Death of ART’ , responding to her own ‘frustration’ reveal a wiser approach in dealing with an uncontrolled harmony.
blasting out my protected box of perfection and narrow minded, I finally discover a true way to cure…
