TAICHUNG INDUSTRIAL PARK ENTRY IMAGE

The Project is to provide an iconic element at a corner park facing Taiwan Boulevard as an entry symbol of Taichung Industrial Park. The design is to apply Mobius Strip, which has only one surface and one boundary.  There have been several technical applications for the Möbius strip, including conveying belt, typewriter ribbon, and recording tapes. Due to its complete use of surfaces, it provides twice the amount of wear or capacity of a regular belt or tape. Its form is reminiscent of「∞」(infinity). This Mobius Strip installation is to symbolize its industrial application, and also connotes the sustainable development of Taichung Industrial Park. This three-dimensional superstructure stands out from surrounding mid-rise apartments. It is composed of a series of round steel pipes, which are supporting structure and surfaces simultaneously. It challenges distinction among structure and surface to create a new integrated meaning of the two.
