Landscape Of Traces / XRANGE Architects

January 9, 2024 Hana Abdel 0

The Railway Department Park, part of the National Taiwan Museum, occupies a site that carries 130 years of Taiwan’s urban transformation. The first railway of Taiwan originated here during the Qing Dynasty to service the Machinery Bureau, which manufactured weapons. It later became the Taipei Artillery Factory and the Taipei Railway Factory in 1900. The site sits adjacent to modern-day Taipei Main Station, the transportation hub for both the city and northern Taiwan. Designated as a national historical monument, the museum park is one of the green focal points in the ambitious Taipei West District Gateway Project. This urban renewal masterplan stretches across almost a third of downtown Taipei.

Defending water as a human priority, and understanding its condition as an inexhaustible source of life that sustains existence, is the foundation upon which the consolidation and restoration works of the Tower of Water in Aledo are developed. These works have made it possible to discover new aspects of this magnificent defensive building, from where part of the history of the place can be uncovered. The tower that has reached our days is known as the Tower of Water and dates back to the 15th century. Its volumetric recovery is carried out faithfully to its original footprint, following techniques and using materials found in the medieval building.

A home for a couple learning to do less. Our clients, a couple with one foot in retirement, contacted us, explaining they had spent two years looking for the right down-size house, but had never found one that completely fit the brief. They explained that the home they had come to purchase was almost there, but cramped living spaces and a lack of connection to the garden were in need of fixing.
