Taipei Underground Mall Y26 Entrance Renovation. As the first step in a plan to renew 28 entrances along Civic Boulevard, the design team takes on the role of an urban doctor — through minimal intervention, reawakening each entrance's own story. The volume uses a transparent panel structure, drawing people back to reconnect the underground level with the underground shopping district. Embedded within the structure is a reference to the century-old roof of the Railway Department, localizing a narrative between history and the present.

The Y26 entrance is an exit of Taipei main station underground streets, which was established in the early 80s. With the increasing prosperity of society, the original design is lurking some issues such as improper circulation and aging for both the underground and the building itself. Taking the role of a city doctor by minimal intervention, the new Y26 is arranged with high transparency to bring more sense of safety for the citizens and tourists.
