Starting from the start 001. Walking into the Taipei Dome Construction Site

February 09, 2025
文章首圖
The first step is to collect construction waste. We led our partner META Design on a site visit to better understand the construction site operations and explore reusable materials. On October 12, 2020, we visited the Taipei Dome construction site
 
As a large public construction project, the Taipei Dome site holds many unique recyclable materials, one of which is the titanium plate used for the "shell" of the structure. Due to the high cost of titanium, it is rarely used in residential buildings, but it is a key material for the exterior of the Taipei Dome. The site collected the leftover titanium plates after they were cut, including large irregular pieces and narrow edge scraps. In the following phases, titanium plates became a highly promising decorative material.
 
In addition, the Taipei Dome construction site also featured many unique items, such as A-frame scaffolding and steel reinforcement cages, which were repurposed as special materials for the creation in project 1.0.

005. Behind the Making — The 1st Chair made from wood formwork

After overcoming the technical challenge of bending the formwork, bringing the Formwork Chair to life still required a series of design and production steps. META Design began with a full-scale 1:1 layout drawing to define the chair’s proportions, structural layout, and joinery methods. Once the design was finalized, they used the prepared formwork wood to build the first prototype. By actually sitting on the chair, they could test whether the overall dimensions and ergonomics felt right—Was the backrest high enough to support the body? Was the seat angle comfortable?

004. Behind the Making — Bending the Wood Formwork

Once dismantled and processed, the reclaimed formwork panels can be transformed into a wide variety of objects. But for our partner, META Design, simply reusing materials isn’t quite enough. As a team known for drawing out renewed value from discarded materials, they care more about one fundamental question: What message should the final piece convey? Only when the core concept is clarified does the team begin exploring how these recycled materials can be used to express it.

003. Behind the Making — Dismantling

The construction waste we collected was brought back by our partner, META Design, to their studio in Tamsui. The studio functions like a laboratory, where discarded materials are examined from new perspectives. The designers uncover the hidden value within these materials and transform them into unique creations.
