As an international role model for living and working, "Marina One" makes an innovative
contribution to the discourse on mega-cities, especially in tropical regions, which, in the
context of increasing population and climate change, face enormous challenges. The
high-density building complex with its mix of uses extends to over 400,000 square meters
and, with its group of four high-rise buildings, defines the "Green Heart"—a public space
extending over several stories. This three-dimensional green oasis reflects the diversity of
tropical flora. Aedes presents diagrams and interviews with project participants, as well as
a documentary film on the architecture.
The central element of the exhibition is a spectacular five-meter high space sculpture
which brings to life the unique shape of the "Marina One" buildings. Today, more than 50
percent of the world’s population lives in cities. This number will increase to 70 percent in
the next three decades. By 2050, the world’s population will increase to nine or ten billion.
In urban agglomerations, this growth cannot be accommodated without high-rise
buildings. The core concept for "Marina One", which consists of a group of four high-rise
buildings, is based on a shared central space—the "Green Heart"—which was designed by
ingenhoven architects in close cooperation with landscape architects Gustafson Porter +

Bowman.

Text description provided by the architects.  In 2012 WOHA was invited by


the Taichung City Government and Feng Chia University to bring its exhibition
“Breathing Architecture” to Taichung. This exhibition was part of a program
initiated by the city government’s Gateway Project Masterplan which focused on
the design principles of sustainability, low carbon emissions, and smart cities. The
government was in the process of drafting new regulations to make Taichung a
greener, more liveable city in its next phase of development. Following the
exhibition, the developer Golden Jade, with Feng Chia University as an advisor,
commissioned WOHA to design a green and sustainable mixed-use development
in the heart of the city, the first of its kind in Taichung.
Sky Green a mixed-use development located at the heart of Taichung in a densely
developed and vibrant neighborhood. The site is made up of two rectangular
plots, one facing the main city thoroughfare, Gongyi Road, and the other facing
Daying Street, a quieter secondary street. The development consists of two 26-
storey residential towers with apartment units from level 4 onwards, as well as
retail spaces. To connect to its setting, and the hustle and bustle of the streets, the
building’s retail spaces are located from ground level to level 3. The shops have
staggered patterned glass cladding to give an urban backdrop to the tree-lined
pedestrian walkways and modern outdoor street furniture.
