This competition project is a critical research for Yunlin County in response to a series of environmental issues including global climate change, urban development and Formosa Plastics' petrochemical complex pollution. This will be an important action of Yunlin County moving towards sustainable and low-carbon urban development. The core content of ecological city Yunlin will be presented by the environmental quality of urban spaces. The ultimate purpose of the pursuit of low-carbon development lies not in the summation of effects from physical buildings and facilities, but in the synergy resulting from changing ways of living and the approach of applying materials. Through such transformation, an optimal balance between demands form human beings and natural environment would be attained.
