NCKU Art Lounges occupies a central position at National Cheng Kung University, oriented toward the Tainan City Wall remnants and the West Gate along a tree-lined avenue. The project sits adjacent to the University President's Residence and anchors the main campus green belt and student activity corridor. The site’s previous function as a kindergarten was reimagined and adapted into a novel public space that is accessible at all times. A multidisciplinary team led by Yu-Chen Chao and MAYU architects collaborated with structural, MEP, lighting, and landscape consultants to deliver the civic and programmatic transformation.
