In the 24-hour non-stop Taipei city, the nine-to-five office routine has little by little transited into another kind of “late nine-to-early five” lifestyle. Modern people seek after high-speed, effectiveness, order, much faster pace and try hard to play their own roles in the city; but they’ve all ignored who they are, what they need, and what their desire lies in. Not only were their demands disregarded, somewhere around the corner in the city was forgotten as well… In my design, it presents modern people’s conversion and development in their physical and mental status under a one-day time frame (from day to night). Take the Taipei Ren-Ai Circle for instance, it is a city green belt left behind with only huge flow of cars and its formal meaning remaining. The design re-interprets the relations between the metropolitan space and human beings and it pours also the new activities, new life and new meaning into this forgotten circle: to provide a metropolitan space in the city which is in accordance with modern people’s physical and mental status – a city park + pubs.
