社區活動中心通常是一個能聚集周遭居民促進社區凝聚力的場所。透過舉辦各種社區活動和聚會來增進彼此之間的了解,加強社區間的交流和合作,還可以提供多元活動空間,滿足不同年齡和興趣的居民需求,有更多的娛樂和學習機會,並增添社區的文化多樣性。早期傳統的活動中心設計主要注重在功能性,因而忽略掉建築物的美觀設計,同時也導致活動中心對使用者缺乏吸引力,但其實漂亮的建築設計可以營造出愉悅的氛圍感,讓人們願意花更多時間在這與其他居民交流互動。因此設計一個結合美觀與功能實用性的複合式社區活動中心一方面能提供舒適的活動空間,另一方面也可以激發居民的興趣和參與度,增加社區的凝聚力和活力。
所以此次的設計理念是想保留社區活動中心原有的功能實用性,加強早期活動中心較缺乏的美觀設計,並融合一些多元空間,像是圖書館、咖啡廳、視聽設備與展示空間等等,使這個複合式社區活動中心多樣化,確保能滿足居民需求,還能提升居民生活品質和滿意度,藉著這個空間增進社區之間彼此的友誼,提供周遭學生和居民做使用。除了原有的戶外空間,另外還會多出一些空地來舉辦市集活動,有主題性的像是各國飲食、音樂等等,以此促進交流,同時也能更加的了解多元文化。
Community activity centers are typically places that gather residents from the surrounding area to promote community cohesion. By organizing various community activities and gatherings, they enhance mutual understanding, strengthen communication and cooperation among communities, and provide diverse activity spaces to meet the needs of residents of different ages and interests. They offer more entertainment and learning opportunities and add cultural diversity to the community. Early traditional activity center designs primarily focused on functionality, often neglecting the aesthetic design of the building, which resulted in a lack of attraction for users. However, aesthetically pleasing architectural designs can create a pleasant atmosphere, encouraging people to spend more time interacting with other residents. Therefore, designing a composite community activity center that combines aesthetics with functional practicality can provide comfortable activity spaces while stimulating residents' interest and participation, increasing community cohesion and vitality.
Hence, the design concept aims to retain the original functional practicality of the community activity center while enhancing its aesthetics, which were lacking in earlier activity centers, and incorporating diverse spaces such as libraries, cafes, audiovisual equipment, and exhibition spaces. This diversified composite community activity center ensures that it meets the needs of residents, improves their quality of life and satisfaction, enhances friendships between communities, and provides a space for surrounding students and residents to use. In addition to existing outdoor spaces, there will also be additional open areas for holding market activities with themed events such as international cuisines, music, etc., to promote exchanges and better understand diverse cultures.
