Mailiao Township Library Aesthetic Living Center

Mailiao Township

Mailiao Township is a cultural park with a library and a cultural living center in coastal Yunlin, Taiwan. The two buildings frame an egg-shaped courtyard, the Aesthetic Incubation Plaza, which offers shade and shelter from strong sun and coastal winds. Deep overhangs, double-layered walls and semi-outdoor spaces support comfort through the year. Brick, long used in rural Taiwan, wraps the upper facades, while recessed glass at ground level links inside and outside. The library is planned around the needs of seniors and children.

Mailiao Township Library Aesthetic Living Center by C.M.Chao. Architect & Planners has been featured as a creative representation of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition.
