Interpreting Hakka Spirit

 

冥合自然風水,      尊重環境地貌,       善用地方資源,        重視家族觀念,   堅持硬頸精神,       順應時勢演變,      積極晴耕雨讀

Hakka Architecture have been always a mean to help them achieve certain objective -  and it has been different from time to time due to dynamic spirit which is characteristic of Hakka people specially those  resident in Taiwan. Hakka people want today as mentioned in the project program A GLOBAL HAKKA . Beside on focus projecting Hakka internationally the architecture also should focus in today  major issue like sustainable architecture. I believe Ricky Liu and his partners show more understanding in actual Hakka culture by coming out with "interpreting Hakka Spirit"  and better  arranged the building plan.    

The overall plan are created under the context of the original topography, respectively, to configure museums, parks, residential areas. The center arrangements plan resembling the round house but instead of one round building it is several building with different shape and function creating a very interesting round shape.

South side configuration pool, north side configuration bamboo feng shui considerations, but also active use of wind and water and other natural resources as part of the overall planning.
