Flourish is developing a learning space on Eastern cultural design where we experience Taiwanese Culture, Chinese herbs, and tea culture. The design problem in developing the space is to repurpose the bathhouse to keep it from becoming a health hazard. The goal is to incorporate the historical building’s background into the repurposed space and to integrate Chinese herbs and tea culture into it. Chinese herbs not only help people learn the culture of medicinal elements, but also help them cultivate self-knowledge of their bodies. Tea in Taiwan’s culture is the root that brings people together in the community. Flourish incorporates community interaction because humanity creates culture. Everyone in the space experiences Taiwan’s culture, tea, and herbs. Reinforcing Taiwan’s culture in the international community by learning about tea and Chinese herbs, and deepening self-knowledge through the historical space, where the healing of the body and mind takes place.
