The 3rd “Earth God Temple” Student Design Competition

台湾には、地域の農作物や人々の暮らしを守ってくれるとされるお寺「土地公」が身近な神様として存在するが、都市開発によってそれらの敷地は度々手放され、減少傾向にある。土地公とその周辺環境を魅力的にし、むしろ地域に求められる土地公像を求める。審査員に團 紀彦が含まれている。

Description
The Earth God (Tu Di Gong 土地公) Temple, the symbol of humans' respect for Nature, exists in harmony and as one with the land and environment. However, as urban development progresses, the aftermath has been reflected directly on the temple. The religious center is gradually shrinking as the property's frequently was being ceded. In respond to this issue, we have organized the "Student Competition of the Earth God Temple", inviting young students with creativity and ideals to evaluate and provide a solution that improves the temple and its surrounding landscape, ultimately granting the Earth God and the residents of the neighborhood a better environment.
As the site is located at the south end of Taichung Gateway Park (Jade Eco Park), the overall design should continue the intention of the regional planning. The major guiding points are Innovation, Green Energy, Intelligence, and Low-Carbon. The proposal should consider the surrounding context and future plans for Taichung Gateway Park as well as the Taiwan Tower.
