Changhua Fangyuan Township Farmers' Association

The three-story Changhua Fangyuan Township Farmers' Association Building is a thoughtful blend of local tradition and sustainable design. The exterior prominently features red brick, a material deeply rooted in the region’s architectural heritage. This design choice not only symbolizes the local cultural identity but also fosters a sense of familiarity and belonging, making the building a welcoming presence in the community.

Central to the building's design is an eco-core, an open atrium that serves as both a functional and communal space. This core enhances the building's energy efficiency by optimizing natural ventilation and temperature regulation. During the hot summer months, warm air naturally rises and exits through skylights at the top, promoting effective cooling. In contrast, during winter, the skylights remain closed, capturing solar heat and creating a greenhouse effect. This process turns the eco- core into a thermal well that helps maintain warmth inside the building.

The eco-core also functions as a reception area for visitors and a serene courtyard for community members. This space encourages interaction and offers a tranquil retreat within the building, enhancing the overall user experience. The integration of this eco-friendly feature underscores the commitment to sustainable architecture, aligning with modern environmental concerns while preserving the local context.

The design of the Changhua Fangyuan Township Farmers' Association Building embodies a harmonious blend of sustainability and cultural sensitivity. By incorporating locally significant materials and innovative green design principles, the building provides a comfortable, energy-efficient, and community-focused environment that resonates with the people of Fangyuan. This approach not only respects the past but also looks forward, ensuring that the building serves as a model of sustainable development for the future.

三層樓高的彰化芳苑鄉農會大樓，巧妙地融合了當地傳統與永續設計。建築外觀以紅磚為主，這種材料深深植根於該地區的建築傳統。 這一設計選擇不僅象徵了當地文化認同，還營造出一種熟悉感與歸屬感，使這座建築成為社區中一個親切的存在。建築設計的核心是一 個生態中庭，這是一個開放的天井，兼具功能性與社交空間的功能。這個核心通過優化自然通風和溫度調節，提升了建築的能源效率。 在炎熱的夏季，熱空氣自然上升並通過頂部的天窗排出，促進有效的降溫。相反，在冬季，天窗保持關閉，捕捉太陽熱能並產生溫室效 應。這一過程使生態中庭成為一個熱能井，幫助維持建築內部的溫暖。生態中庭還作為訪客的接待區和社區成員的寧靜庭院。這個空間 促進了互動，並為建築內提供了一個靜謐的休憩場所，提升了整體的使用體驗。這一環保特色的整合，彰顯了對永續建築的承諾，既符 合現代環境議題，又保留了當地脈絡。彰化芳苑鄉農會大樓的設計體現了永續性與文化敏感性的和諧融合。通過融入具有當地意義的材 料和創新的綠色設計原則，這座建築提供了一個舒適、節能且以社區為中心的環境，與芳苑的居民產生共鳴。這種方法不僅尊重過去， 還展望未來，確保這座建築成為未來永續發展的典範。
