An old airport in Taiwan has found new life in an unexpected form: an urban park. A former airport in the city of Taichung has been transformed by French landscape architects Mosbach Paysagistes, who incorporated the airport’s topography into the sprawling Phase Shift Park’s design.
The architects were inspired by philosopher Rudolf Steiner’s “Principle of the 12 Senses” to create a space with 12 different fields. One field, for example, is designed to create echoes (speech), while another is full of flowers to appeal to the sense of smell.
