台湾省台中市文化中心的建设方案由总部位于澳大利亚的Williamson Architects建筑事务所承担设计。该方案旨在创造一栋具有雕塑美的建筑，并通过它将建筑史上的浪漫特征还原到现实之中。文化中心的外观与其功能十分吻合。极具魅力的外形不仅为台中市增添了一座标志性的公共建筑，更为人们带来了活力，用一种美妙的方式将社会各阶层的人都联系起来。该文化中心是一个常年向市民开放的公共空间。建筑底层全天24小时开放，成为城市、会展中心和新建的台中中央公园的枢纽。从楼前广场到开放式的地下室，文化中心各部分空间的布局均根据需要自由地伸缩。广场以高大的水墙、市景和天空作为映衬。开放式的地下室则以其上方的高大建筑和周围的景观作为背景。水墙在市区与公园用地之间形成一道具有界定意义的门槛。

灯光设计

楼前广场在夜晚焕然一新，成为一个令人激动的地方。水墙上方的灯发出蓝光。彩色的灯光时不时冒出来，照亮了人工控制的水泡，在向上移动的过程中产生一种三维的艺术效果。水墙同时也是灯光展和影像投射的幕墙。在博物馆上方，喷出的雾气与投射过来的光线一起形成了一个个三维的光雕塑。水上平台的地板上灯光闪烁。图书馆内发出的光穿过水墙，直射到广场上。当人们在馆内翻阅书籍时，他们的轮廓也能从这里清晰可见。

水墙

水墙上的空间运动给人一种富有动感和活力的视觉、触觉和感官体验。光线穿过水墙时会发生变化，在建筑上投射出公园用地的全景。景观从轻质的圆柱中透过去，改变了人们以往在其他建筑中形成的方向感。这是一次发现之旅，每一步前行，你都会在其中看到更多建筑周围的景观。当你由一座延伸至底层的开放式台阶进入到建筑内部时，你被这一切深深地吸引，急切地想将建筑的内部结构看个明白。建筑小巧的外壳让人很难想象其内部会有如此时而宽敞时而狭小的壮丽空间。

Australia based Williamson Architects’ proposal for the City Cultural Center of Taichung， Taiwan aims to create a sculptural beauty that resurrects the romance of the architectural journey through a building. Driven by function， the building’s form is expressed in its own beauty to create not only a landmark public structure but also creating a catalyst drawing people and activity， beautifully connecting all strata of society. The cultural center is a public space， always open to the people of the city. The ground level can be occupied day and night and is an open link between the City， the convention center and the new Taichung Gateway Park. Open space expands & contracts between the plaza and the open undercroft. The plaza is defined by monumental walls of water， the city and sky. The undercroft is defined by the mass of the building suspended above， and the landscape beyond. The wall of water is a defining threshold between the city and the Parkland. The building sits quiet; suspended and weaving through the walls of water.
A Celebration of Light
The Plaza at night becomes an exciting new space. Up-lights in the water walls give a blue glow. Occasional bursts of colored light highlight controlled release of bubbles that create three-dimensional artwork as they travel upwards. The water walls are a canvas for projected light shows & imagery. Above the museum， three-dimensional light sculptures are created with burst of mist and projected lights. Light dances within the floor of the water platform. The glow from within library radiates through the water wall， out into the plaza. Silhouettes of people in the library can be seen as they interact with the books.
The Water Wall
Moving through the water wall is a dynamic experience; active; monumental; visual; tactile and sensory. Pass through the water and space is compressed， the light quality changes and a panoramic view of the parkland landscape is framed by the building. This view is filtered through layers of lightweight columns. Your preconceived sense of order in a building is challenged. You experience the space is a journey of discovery， the landscape beyond revealing as you move through. You are invited into the building by an open stairway extending to the ground. You are drawn to find out what is within. The minimal building envelope belies the magnificent expansion & contraction of space within.
