Kaohsiung Music Center exterior cleaned for fourth anniversary
2025-11-04
In celebration of the Kaohsiung Music Center’s fourth anniversary, the outside of this unique building is being thoroughly washed. Window cleaners hang from the building like spiders, reaching every crevasse with long squeegees while balancing over 50 meters in the air. The music center’s distinct shape has made it a symbol of Kaohsiung, but also makes cleaning it difficult.
Several window cleaners hang from the top of the Kaohsiung Music Center, suspended by a complex system of ropes and pulleys. Using long squeegees and hoses, they clean every corner of the building, slowly making their way to the bottom one window at a time.
The music center is being cleaned in celebration of its fourth anniversary, leaving it shining as bright as when it was brand new.

We are holding 5 or 6 kilograms of equipment. When you come across inward-slanting sections, it can be more physically demanding, and you need to use a suction cup for help.
The outside of the Kaohsiung Music Center is made up of hexagons of varying sizes and angles, forming a hexagonal grid. But this makes it much harder to clean then a normal building, and window cleaners need to use suction cups for stability.

Our building is unique, with a distinctive exterior. It’s a double-layered structure and cleaning it takes more effort because there are many different angles.
Located in Kaohsiung’s harbor, the music center is inspired by geometries of the sea, with its exterior resembling a coral reef and overall shape echoing a surging wave. It’s an international cultural landmark and hosts many important artistic events.
Not only are dozens of concerts held here, but this is also where the famous floating Chiikawa and yellow ducks greeted the public. Window cleaners worked hard to polish the building as it celebrates its fourth anniversary, leaving the landmark sparkling.

高流4週年洗澎澎! 外牆多名蜘蛛人吊掛執行清洗任務
2025-11-04
日前有民眾發現，高雄流行音樂中心外頭，竟然有多名蜘蛛人，吊掛在距離地面5、60公尺高的半空中，清洗外牆，原來他們接獲任務，在高流滿4歲生日時，幫它洗澎澎。不過由於高流造型特殊，建築物有多角度轉折，清洗外牆時，相當困難，師傅們得一一克服。
坐落在港邊的高雄流行音樂中心，好幾名作業人員吊著繩索，手裡拿著長長的工具，沿著外牆，慢慢垂降清洗。
高雄流行音樂中心迎接四周年，特別安排幫建築物洗澡，每個角落都刷乾淨。

“我這樣穿背一背，裝備大概5、6公斤。當你遇到內斜的部分的時候，可能就真的比較耗體力，需要用吸盤去輔助。”
高流建築以六邊形網格，組合而成，高低起伏、多角度轉折，凹凸不平的外牆，比平面大樓難洗許多，得靠吸盤輔助固定，讓清潔難度再升級。

“我們建築物比較特殊，外觀造型比較特殊，它屬於雙層的建築。（清潔）方式比較費工，因為建築外型關係角度也比較多。”
高雄流行音樂中心以海洋為靈感，造型就像激起的浪花，外觀紋理則像珊瑚礁，是國際級音樂文化地標，不少活動都在這邊舉辦。
不只有熱鬧的演唱會，還有超人氣吉依卡哇和黃色小鴨，當初也是在高流旁邊和民眾見面，這次利用高流4歲生日，幕後英雄們幫它洗香香，也擦亮高雄地標。
