向山行政暨遊客中心(2011年台灣建築獎首獎)

由「團紀彥建築設計事務所」所打造的向山行政暨遊客中心，座落在魚池鄉的日月潭北岸，開始為遊客服務。

向山行政中心以環抱日月潭為意象，由兩棟彎曲的建築物組成，西側為向山遊客中心、東側的則是日月潭國家風景區管理處。

為避免阻礙基地後半部眺望日月潭面的視線，兩棟建築屋頂由低到高配置，遊客可利用屋頂斜坡、或是大跨距的半開放空間眺望日月潭。

建築內和四周以水景、草坪及清水混凝土構成簡單的造景。

外觀使用「清水混凝土」工法，其特色為省卻塗裝、貼磚、鋪石之類，而於現場澆灌混凝土，使混凝土維持取下模板後狀態的完工手法。以表現清潔感、素材感為特出。

團紀彥建築師對向山行政暨遊客中心的設計有兩個目標：一、建立自然生態與人文景觀的典範，當欣賞日月潭美景的同時，不會因為向山行政暨遊客中心的進駐，使這個地方變得毫無生氣；二、本來從向山觀賞日月潭並不是一個合適的景點，但團紀彥建築師要將這個劣勢扭轉，並放大其潛能。

屋頂斜坡、大跨距的半開放空間、四周水景都是基於以上兩個目標所設計。

Sun Moon Lake Visitor Center ( 2011's Taiwan Architecture Awards)

Tokyo architects Norihiko Dan and Associates have completed this visitor centre on the shore of Sun Moon Lake in Taiwan.

Sun Moon Lake Administration Office by Norihiko Dan and Associates. Housing the tourist board's offices and an information centre for visitors, the building has a green roof and rises out of the surrounding land towards the lake.

Curved concrete channels lead round the structure towards the lake.

A basin of water between the building and the lake reflects a rippling image of the surrounding trees.

There are two aims in Mr. Norihiko Danmy's concept: First aim was to propose a new model for a relationship between the building and its natural environment while preserving the surrounding scenery and keeping the inland area from becoming dead space.

Second aim was to address the disadvantages of the site whose view of the Sun Moon Lake is not necessarily perfect, and to draw out and amplify the potential advantages.

Sun Moon Lake Administration office of Tourism Bureau is a land-form for dialog between the human being and nature.
