This architecture is to deal with several tourism problems based on the analysis of Penghu. The first is that the northeast monsoon in Penghu has caused a weak tourist attraction. The solution is to develop windsurfing activities to attract more tourists within the time period. The second is the freedom of ocean sports. Taiwan currently has many restrictions on marine activities since the government's security control. The solution is to set up a centrally managed marine activity center just on the sea, so that people can freely enjoy marine sports and maintain safety simultaneously. The third problem is that tourists seldom travel Penghu again. Therefore, I manage to design an architecture which can move by itself. With space mobility, tourists who come to this building in different time will have different experiences in different sites.
The design concept is "flow" which creates specific spatial functions and different spatial experiences. The shape of the whole building is based on digital climate data. Through fluid mechanics simulation, the shape of the building is manipulated so that it enables to have the smallest resistance and be accommodated to the wind field in Penghu, keeping the mobility. On the other hand, in terms of indoor space, many ventilations with small windmills is designed in order to not only produce electricity but also dissipate heat and form the internal microclimate.
