2023-12-12
One of the world’s most famous architects will help design the National Children’s Future Museum, which is to be Taiwan’s first-ever children’s cultural venue. Japanese architect Toyo Ito is considered to be a rock star in the field of architecture. He designed the National Taichung Theater and is a winner of the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize. His team will work in tandem with a local award-winning architectural firm, MAYU Architects, Vice Premier Cheng Wen-tsan and former Premier Su Tseng-chang said. Construction on the museum will begin in 2025. Our very own FTV reporter Stephany Yang gives us the scoop.
Vice Premier Cheng Wen-tsan and former Premier Su Tseng-chang listen intently as architects explain their conceptual designs. Renowned Taiwanese and Japanese architects have been selected to design Taiwan’s National Children’s Future Museum.
Cheng Wen-tsan
Vice premier
The project was finalized during the tenure of former Premier Su Tseng-chang, and now the contract has finally been completed. It will be jointly designed by MAYU Architects and Japan’s Toyo Ito & Associates. It will be a cultural landmark in the future and will become an international museum for children in the future. I believe this museum can stimulate intelligence, creativity, imagination, and scientific and cultural abilities.
Su Tseng-chang
Former premier
I approached the Ministry of Culture, Taiwan Design Research Institute, the Public Construction Commission, and many experts and scholars. I have discussed this project 17 times when I was premier.
The design is based on the concept of "A Children’s City Emerging in the Forest." In this model, dense woods surround the architectural design base. Each floor has a different theme.
Wei-ya Fang
Architect
Because there are large forests on both sides of the building. The first floor is semi-outdoor, connecting the woods on the north and south sides. The first floor is open to citizens and children 24 hours a day. Each floor has a different city.
Malone Chang
Architect
Every city is a castle. In addition to games, it also hopes to educate children on various social issues. There will be various workshops. Construction will begin at the end of 2025. It will take another five years to complete, a total of seven years.
The National Children’s Future Museum will focus on three main topics: themed adventure, learning and exploration, and leisure and play. It hopes to provide a venue for children to explore culture, art, and technology. The project base covers an area of approximately 3.3 hectares and will be located on Hansheng East Road in Banqiao District. Organizers hope that it will become a new cultural landmark.
