Theme: fire station
The goal is to transform the fire station into a much more than just a workplace. It is envisioned to become a vital social hub that actively engages with and integrates into the local community, going beyond just responding to emergencies. A key objective is to build stronger trust between the local people and the fire service personnel.
The fire station operates like a living organism, functioning continuously, much like the human body. This concept is illustrated through X-ray imagery: the functional blocks resemble X-ray layers, stacked in sequence to reveal the intricate structure and transparency of the station's operations. Just like X-rays allow us to see through objects, this design promotes openness and accessibility to the public. The viewing platforms on the roof further enhance this sense of transparency.
Located in a vibrant residential area, the fire station radiates warmth and security throughout the city, fostering a greater sense of peace.
Additionally, a dedicated public block within the station serves as a venue for community events, encouraging public involvement and interaction.
The overarching mission of the fire department is to symbolize the journey from fire to sunlight — transforming danger into safety.
