The Taipei Pop Music Center, designed by RUR, aims to create a cultural hub for Taiwan's music industry, integrating performing arts exhibitions, music education, and commercial supporting functions. The architecture has a highly dynamic and futuristic form, emphasizing the expression of flow and dynamism.

1.Planning and Layout
The entire cultural park consists of three main components: 5000 large indoor performance halls, a popular music culture center, and an industrial cultural and creative building, complemented by an outdoor open square. Break the single venue model and form a music industry cluster that integrates performances, recording production, exhibitions, training, and commerce.

2.A city outline with highly recognizable architectural form and exterior facade.
Using parameterized folded plate geometry, multiple sharp and angular metal folds are arranged in a staggered manner like crystals, forming a dynamic and sharp shape.

3.The design concept firm defines the theme as lyrical urbanism. Architecture is no longer an isolated venue, but an open urban landscape. The undulating and sloping roofs, sunken plazas, and pedestrian walkways allow the public to navigate between the buildings, breaking down the heavy barriers of large public buildings.

4.Green technology
Design and integrate a complete low-carbon system: natural ventilation reduces air conditioning energy consumption, rainwater collection and reuse, and high-efficiency electromechanical energy-saving system. At the same time, it is equipped with a large number of music classrooms and recording practice rooms, providing a creative incubation venue for local musicians.
