座落于北回归线的台湾本岛，因着世界最大洋流之一黑潮流经，形成温暖的气候型态。在这座岛屿上，炎热潮湿的热带型气候与高冷的山岳环境并存。台中中央公园的设置目的，即在于借由地景来重塑气候环境，让居民能重新享受户外活动。

Situated beneath the Tropic of Cancer, the climate of Taiwan is warmed by the Kuro-Shio, one of the largest marine currents in the world. The island possesses a hot and humid tropical climate that counterbalances the mountain range that has a fresher environment. The goal of Central Park is to give back the outdoors to the inhabitants by creating landscapes where the excesses of the climate of Taichung are re shaped.

台中中央公园以共通的语汇塑造出它的独特性，并满足不同层面的需求。在地理层面上，它将一个机场转变成都市景观；在都市尺度上，它将不同的文化公共设施融入广大的公共区域；以开发区内的尺度来看，则形成不同开发区之间提供民众各种活动的的空间。这种不同层面的重叠是非常独特的。

The park use a specific language, one of universal reach in its capacity to relate the issues at stake at different scales. The geographic scale by the transformation of an airport into an urban landscape; the urban scale by the provision of unique cultural facilities integrated into a vast public terrain; the domestic scale in the porosity between districts that allow sharing of recreational opportunities. The interlocking of these levels is a unique achievement.

全案利用地表纹理的结构 ——包括水文、地形、土壤等，并结合大气氛围——温度、湿度及空气污染等因子，作为设计的概念。将一系列的地景及大气氛围的分析层层套叠后，区分出公园内较为舒适的空间场域，并融合自然与人造设施、或紧密或松散的方式排列于十一处场域中，以凸显出各区不同的感知特色。地表纹理和蜿蜒有特色的步道则串连起分布于各处的休憩区、运动区及亲子区。

The design tools explore lithosphere design -water, topography, soil- combined with atmosphere design -heat, humidity, pollution. An overlapping mapping organizes a range of landscape distributing more comfortable ‘niches’ where natural and artificial tools are mixed, densified and dilated to highlight eleven comfortable resorts. The atmosphere performing is emphases by the lithosphere resources running with singular path through leisure’s lands, sports lands and plays lands.

公园景观由北往南发展，公园地景所延伸出来的人工地盘覆盖住部分的交通路网。公园内的丘陵在辽阔的地平线上，界定出南北连续的视野。站在公园内五处大型桥梁隧道的之前——北方的休息区(Northern Lounge, Salon Nord)、东边的螺旋中庭(Eastern Spiral, Colimaçon Est)、中间的游戏区(Middle Yard, Cour du Milieu)、东侧的天空穹顶顶(Eastern Sky dome, Focus Ciel)，以及林间空地(Middle Clearings, Clairières du Milieu)，这些地形起伏形成隐密且具安全感的空间，可作为举办文化活动或遮风避雨之用。

The landscape pulls from North to South. Urban traffic is partially covered by infrastructures incorporated into the ground of the park. On the surface the hills establish a framework of vast horizons and continuities from North to South. Yet standing before them, they are also intimate and protective, for the staging of cultural events or regular shelter with Northern Lounge, Eastern Spiral, Middle Yard, Eastern Sky dome and Middle Clearings.

台中中央公园不仅有各式各样的水岸、花园及广场，部份空间则以鲁道夫·史代纳(Rudolf Steiner) 的教育理论，呈现出12种感官体验空间——谈论Speech、味觉Taste、听觉Hearing、平衡Equilibrium、思考Thinking、视觉Vision、动态Movement、自我Ego、触觉Touch、温暖Warmth、嗅觉Smell和生活Life，提供台中市民在旖旎风光之中多样的感官体验，以及娱乐、聚会或散步的户外环境。

The park acts as a moderator: it proposes a variety of beaches, of gardens, of places and offer to the people of Taichung sensual experiences, partly based on the principle of senses of Rudolf Steiner, with twelve Fields -Speech, Taste, Hearing, Equilibrium, Thinking, Vision, Movement, Ego, Touch, Warmth, Smell, Life- providing visitors with places of gaming, meeting or just walk around powerful landscapes.
