The Hsinta Electri-City
The proposal maintains the area’s historical identity by taking the power plant as the main township development strategy for the Hsinta town area. The urban concept is to connect the local biological and ecological diversity to the power plant area, acknowledging the surrounding predominantly fish farming industry. The landscape plan restores the area to its original, organic landscape. Together, these strategies further create a leisurely and nature-flourishing environment for visitors and locals to Hsinta town.

The emergent, mountain-like tower reflects the sustainable system throughout the site. The proposal creates a circulation network which stiches together the separate fabric from all directions. It gives a permeable and natural interface for locals and visitors to channel through the site. The intersection of circulation links up a series of vibrant public programs for both the locals and tourists.
