轨道上方的桥梁：天空休息室

      Bridge above the tracks: A Sky Lounge

这一新建筑提供了一个大的开放和连续的计划。在火车轨道上，乘客从北到南到达苗栗市；在候机室内，旅客和居民从东和西进出车站。交通流成为两个重要的相交方向，这是一个二重奏的运动交响曲。东门门面上的通古尔花通过颜色、材质和质感来唤起游客们的回忆。局部元素是慷慨地表达在印刷正面，织物镶板天花板和穿孔金属墙板。在西门，墙壁与杉木，因此尊重当地的木雕传统。这个空中休息室是苗栗的景观和文化的体现。

This new construction provides a large open and continuous plan. On the train tracks, passengers arrive from the north and south to Miaoli City; within the lounge, travelers and residents enter and exit the station from the east and west. Flow of traffic becomes two significant intersecting directions that layer a duet symphony of movement. Tungoil flowers on the façade of eastern entrance resonates travelers’ memories through the use of colour, material and texture. Local elements are generously expressed on the printed facades, fabric-paneled ceiling and perforated metal wall sheets. At the western entrance, walls are cladded with Chinese Fir hence to honor the local woodcarving tradition. This sky lounge is Miaoli’s manifestation of landscape and culture.

轻量级结构增强被动策略

      Light weight structure enhances passive strategies

苗栗火车站是2014年获得EEWH绿色建筑标志认证的钻石级建筑。这个长而轻的屋顶由铝锌合金涂层钢板制成，减轻了整个高架桥的重量。在部分天花板上使用镜子来伸展高度，在天空休息室中引入无限的统一感。在高峰时段，交叉通风是由南部和主要是北立面的孔洞提供的。这些半透明的正面，连同狭窄的计划，成为阳光的理想宿主。墙壁上的矩形开口和屋顶上的圆形开口允许无限的几何采光效果。在现有的混合路面和未加工的路面上，在火车站周围，新的土壤和金枪鱼树被安置起来欢迎和告别他们的客人。通过集成光伏电池板和风车积累能量是运行这个电站所必不可少的。有了这些可持续发展和环保的方式，苗栗火车站就与光荣的绿色建筑标签相一致。

Miaoli Railway Station is a diamond graded construction accredited by EEWH Green Building Label in 2014. This long and light roof made of aluminum-zinc alloy coated steel sheet lowers the weight of the entire elevated bridge construction. Mirrors are used on part of the ceilings to stretch the height that introduce the infinite unity sensation in the sky lounge. During peak occupancy hours, cross ventilation is granted by apertures on south and mainly north facades. These translucent facades, together with the narrow plan, become the ideal host for daylight. Rectangular openings on walls and circular openings on roofs allow boundless geometrical daylighting effects. On top of the existing blend and raw pavement remains, around the train station, new soil and Tungoil Trees are accommodated to welcome and farewell their guests. Accumulating energy by the integrated photo-voltaic panels and wind mills is essential for operating this station. With these sustainable and environmental approaches, Miaoli Railway Station is in correspondence with the honorable Green Building Label.

提供一个具有文化特色的宽敞空间

      Offering a generous space with cultural characteristics

一个过渡空间，在车站的西端，是一个阶梯表演平台。这是一个灵活的平台，因为长途跋涉的人可以简单地在大台阶上休息，或者在被当地的街头艺人娱乐的同时，探索隔墙上的框架景观。带着人们来到这个舞台表演平台，一个坡道被建造了太阳能板屋顶，邀请各种不同年龄的人。在不久的将来，这条斜坡也将连接苗栗西部新商业区的建设。

A transitional space, at the west end of the station, is a stepped performance platform. This is a flexible platform, as people who traveled a long distance can simply rest on the big steps, or explore the framed view on the cutout walls while entertained by the local buskers. Bringing people to this stepped performance platform, a ramp is constructed with solar paneled roof to invite various people of all age. In the near future, this ramp will also connect the undergoing construction of the new commercial area in west Miaoli City.

该项目的目的是设计和建造不受任何干扰的现有列车轨道。这座浮空休息室是一座钢结构的桥梁，它的施工时间与未来的铁路发展相吻合。在这些成就的基础上，苗栗火车站是一个各种各样的技术，自然和文化，庆祝建筑的可持续性追求。

The objective of this project is to design and construct without any interference of the existing train tracks. This floating sky lounge is bridged by a steel structure thatcompliments the duration of construction and also complies with railway development in the future. On top of these achievements, Miaoli Railway station is an assortment of technology, nature and culture that celebrates architecture in pursue of sustainability.
