Waiting pavilion - the duality of function perception of the post station
Jiaotong University, located in the windy city of Hsinchu, is a university where many young students gather. In the Comprehensive Higher Education Institution, most college students and graduate students from all over Taiwan enter the campus on large buses from outside. For every Jiaotong University traveler, the bus shelter has special significance. It is an important stop on the road to study and a life memory. unique scenery. In recent years, new designs have been made for bus shelters on campus. With the school’s thinking of strengthening the aesthetic campus and subtractive aesthetics, the campus has been continuously beautified.

Landscapeaesthetics - platform design with softened elevation fluctuations
The bus shelter base is located in the south gate parking lot, close to the area where basketball courts and tennis courts gather, and the empty parking lot and sports facilities are the back hill Surrounded by green space, the location divides the parking lot into two parts due to topography, resulting in an elevation difference of 1.2 meters. Therefore, at the beginning of the planning, we decided to use design techniques to soften the visual and activity caused by the height difference. obstacles, and continues the thinking of symbiosis between the campus and the environment, using "landscape" thinking as the main design axis, coupled with the method of "subtractive design", the architectural form is naturally formed in a way that conforms to the terrain, and different elevations are connected through design , and also effectively weakened the blow from the north wind to those waiting for the train.
Since there are many sports venues around the base and events are held from time to time, we use the concept of "platform" to connect different functions. The landscape-style semi-outdoor open design allows the bus shelter to carry more than just people waiting for the bus. function, it adds the opportunity to dialogue with surrounding activities, creating a multi-functional activity method that provides different functions, groups, and time periods.

Spatial construction - a combination of heavy and light In terms of structure, the intertwined
landscape design can be completed simply by using a large roof plate and 29 slender columns. The thick planar block carries the weight of users walking up the stairs and the roof covering. In order to strengthen The lightness of the building uses a misplaced steel column structure to show a contrasting lightness and spatial tension, and responds to the fibrous roots of the surrounding banyan trees to form the image of an artificial forest. This approach also allows the overall building to be fully connected with the surrounding environment. And hidden in it. There are no fixed seats in the bus shelter. We designed a series of platform panels of different heights based on the human scale to alleviate the height difference caused by the terrain. Users can sit, lie down, or squat in the space to wait. The roof of the bus shelter has also been greened and beautified. People can easily walk to the top, enjoy the shade under the trees, or lie on the rattan bed. They can lie on the slope to rest, watch football games, talk, and chat. Through landscape design and bionics The structure successfully explains the link between the field and the creative, open and inclusive academic style of SJTU.
