2026 年春回到台灣。和家人在台中聚餐，順便去逛了一下 2025年底開幕的台中市中央公園與綠美圖
臺中綠美圖（原稱臺中城市文化館）位於臺中市西屯區水湳經貿園區，為臺灣首座結合市立圖書館與市立美術館的共構建築。該計畫為臺中市政府推動的重大公共建設，於 2025 年 12 月 13 日正式開幕（Cultural Affairs Bureau of Taichung City Government, 2025）。
本建築由 2010 年普立茲克建築獎得主、日本 SANAA 建築事務所的妹島和世與西澤立衛，協同臺灣劉培森建築師事務所共同設計。建築體由 8 棟高度介於 12 至 48 公尺不等的白色方塊量體交錯組成，總樓地板面積達 58,016 平方公尺。外觀大量採用玻璃帷幕，並包覆大面積的銀白色擴張鋁網，意圖模糊建築與周圍自然環境的界線，實踐「公園中的圖書館、森林中的美術館」之空間理念。
綠美圖座落於佔地 67 公頃的臺中中央公園北側，周邊景點包含水湳經貿園區內的各項生態與公共設施。儘管該場館在空間上嘗試與自然環境縫合，但該區域目前的大眾運輸配套及周邊步行系統仍在發展中；對於無私人交通工具的參訪者而言，整體的空間可及性（Accessibility）與友善程度仍有待地方政府進一步改善。

Introduction to the Taichung Green Museumbrary
History and Development Background
The Taichung Green Museumbrary (formerly known as the Taichung City Cultural Center), located in the Shuinan Economic and Trade Park in Xitun District, Taichung, is Taiwan’s first co-constructed building integrating a municipal library and a metropolitan art museum. Spearheaded by the Taichung City Government as a major public infrastructure project, it officially opened on December 13, 2025 (Cultural Affairs Bureau of Taichung City Government, 2025). The initiative aims to forge a cross-disciplinary cultural hub. However, from an academic and urban sociology perspective, situating a library—which demands a high degree of quietness—within the same complex as an art museum that emphasizes dynamic exhibitions and social interaction, inevitably poses long-term structural challenges regarding operational management, crowd circulation, and acoustic control.
Architectural Style and Design
The complex was designed by Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of the Japanese architectural firm SANAA (2010 Pritzker Architecture Prize laureates) in collaboration with the Taiwanese firm Ricky Liu & Associates (Piñeiro, 2026). The structure comprises eight intersecting white rectilinear volumes ranging from 12 to 48 meters in height, with a total floor area of 58,016 square meters. The exterior heavily utilizes glass curtain walls enveloped in a silver-white expanded aluminum mesh. This design seeks to dissolve the boundaries between the architecture and the surrounding natural environment, materializing the spatial concept of a “library in a park, art museum in a forest.”
