架构师提供的文本描述。在位于台湾台北一个重要城市交界处的郭阳天木，我们试图将保护居民私人生活的建筑围护改造成一个有意义的公共城市立面。建筑将通过独特而现代的姿态，与无序的建筑环境展开有趣的对话。该设计希望摆脱典型的平凡和重复的城市住宅，而是表达一个充满活力的城市生活特有的台北城市。

Text description provided by the architects. At Kuo Yang Tien Mu, which is located at an important urban junction in Taipei, Taiwan, we attempt to transform the building envelope that protects the residents’ private lives into a meaningful public city façade. The architecture is to initiate an intriguing dialogue with the disordered built environment through a unique yet contemporary gesture. The design wishes to break away from the typical mundane and repetitive urban residential housing, and express a vibrant city life specific to TaipeiCity instead.

作为对城市规模的回应，白色结晶玻璃面板上的水平波段清晰地定义了住宅和商业项目。然后，乐队垂直变成一个城市照明墙，希望在白天和夜晚重新界定天母地区的边界。东侧的立面采用白色的冰釉镶嵌和黑色的石制马赛克，在80米长的城墙上形成了一个垂直村庄的现代代表。建筑围护结构的各种突出的白色框架成为中间界面涉及到一个人与城市。具有深度的框架不仅提供了必要的防晒霜，而且由此产生的视觉艺术性也唤起了想像力。这些框架在拥抱和展示城市生活的同时，也使私人生活与环境保持了适当而模糊的距离。在西侧，服务核心由6个垂直厚重的墙表示，上面有灯笼。晚上，他们点亮了城市的天际线，为赤山地铁站的居民提供了指导方向。

In response to the urban scale, a horizontal band in white crystallized glass panel clearly defines the residential and the commercial programs. The band then turns vertically to become an urban lighting wall that hopefully will redefine the boundary of Tien Mu area in both day and night. The elevation on the East side uses white cracked-ice glaze mosaic and black stone mosaic to form a modern representation of vertical village on an 80 meter long city wall. The building envelope with various protruding white frames becomes the in-between interface involves an individual with the city. The frames with depth not only provide the necessary sun screen, but the resulting visual artistry also evokes imagination. While the frames embrace and display urban life, they also keep private life away from environment with a proper yet ambiguous distance. On the West side, the service core is expressed by 6 vertical heavy walls with lanterns on top. They lit up at night to enrich the city skyline, and to provide guiding direction for the residents from Zhi Shan MRT station.
