Station Design
Taipei Metro network is still expanding, and there will be new MRT stations one after another. After visiting several MRT stations, we tried to design future MRT stations. We hope that these stations can represent local characteristics and bring passengers a pleasant journey.

Station Design

Lin, Xiao-Ni
Look and Characteristics:
The station building is like a cocoon of a butterfly and the train is like a butterfly bursting out of the cocoon.
Design concept:
The station is expected to locate at the Shilin District Office of the Circular Line North Section. The modern station fits with Taipei Astronomical Museum and National Taiwan Science Education Center in the neighborhood. The sky blue station echoes the Meilun Park nearby. The butterfly-like train bursting out of the cocoon station symbolizes a new start.

Lin, Wei-Jen
Look and Characteristics: The station is like an oil barrel because the Diaoyu Island offers rich fishing grounds and has potential oil reserves, so fishing rods are added.
Design concept: It is an elevated station and the ring of the barrel is the passage to each floor of the MRT station. The look of the oil barrel and fishing rods symbolize the prospect of economic development.

 

Yang Kuan-Ting
Look and Characteristics: The main material is glass for light to penetrate. The upper part is the railroad and track for trains. There are trees inside and outside the station.
Design concept:
The station is like a small park with power saving. It is lit up with the natural sunlight during the day and it only turns on lights at night. Everyone can slow down here and enjoy the beauty of life.

Huang, Yi-Kai
Look and Characteristics: Taiwan Macaques are the endemic species in Taiwan, so I design the station as a monkey. The station is an elevated one and the MRT trains drive in through an entrance like the monkey’s mouth.
Design concept:
Monkeys are energetic and dexterous animals, and Taiwan macaques are endemic to Taiwan, so I hope that monkey-shaped station will make people feel the vibe of Taipei Metro.

 

Li Rou-Ying
Look and Characteristics: It is like a small green house, a transparent dome glass house with lots of flowers and plants inside.
Design concept:
It is expected to be located in the future Botanic Station. It will be a modern greenhouse where people are surrounded by trees and they may feel they are in the nature.

Weng, Chao-Hung
Look and Characteristics: Bubble milk tea.
Design concept: Bubble milk tea is a very well-known and representative beverage in Taiwan, so I use an oversized cup of bubble milk tea to represent the distinctive station.

 

Ho Pin-Yi
Look and Characteristics: The “LOVE” above the station highlights the ideas of love, listenting, and respecting.
Design Concept:
LOVE as a whole expresses respect and is thoughtful and encouraging for oneself and others. Listen attentively to each other and feel each other’s feelings with their heart.

Lin Hsiao-Hsuan
Look and Characteristics: It is a big round cake with the word “LOVE” on the front. There are hearts on each layer and on the top is a heart surrounded by candles.
Design concept:
I design Xingfu Staion on Circular Line as a station full of love. The station is like a cake and hearts are everywhere in the station. I want to send messages of love and happiness to people who walk in the station.

 

Chen Yu-Fen
Look and Characteristics: The station uses three primary colors; the color brown, as the mix of the three primary colors, shows richness and diversity.
Design concept:
Blue stands for eternity, red for passion, and yellow for light and hope. I hope everyone can feel the enthusiasm from the station and move forward with light and hope.

Liao Jia-Ying
Look and Characteristics: There are unicorns on the main cement wall of the station and cacti are planted at the entrance of the station.
Design concept:
The unicorn-shaped billboard and rainbow on the simple cement wall and the cacti at the entrance give out the enlivened atmosphere.

 

Lin Wen-Lan
Look and Characteristics: The station is on the ground with a sunken garden. The main material of the station is glass, allowing light to penetrate into the station.
Design concept:
The station is based near a park and blends in with the surrounding natural environment. The station is brightened with natural light, which saves energy, and shutters of the windows can be adjusted at any time.

 

Li Bo-Ying
Look and Characteristics: The appearance is a white dove, which is the symbol of peace and freedom. I hope that the station can bring people a life with hope and convenience.
Design concept:
For the citizens in Taipei City and New Taipei City, everyone looks forward to life with hope and freedom. Therefore, I choose a white dove as the main look of the station. The color pure white symbolizes the cleanness of the station, and the flying wings are for prosperous future with hope and freedom.

Jiang Cheng-Yu
Look and Characteristics: The platform of the station is similar to the body of the launcher, and the exit of the launcher is the Metro track.
Design Concept:
The Metro train is like shooting from a launcher, symbolizing the MRT network extending in all directions. It represents an ideal world with a sense of future.

 

Zeng Huan-Zhi
Look and Characteristics: Maximum use of recycled materials combining with the natural environment.
Design Concept:
The station has a simple structure and it is a green building with minimum use of building materials. The use of black tiles is for absorbing the heat in winter and shading the light in summer. The wooden material of the station can be adjusted according to the seasons, helping people be connected to the nature.
