幸福廣場景觀設計案之基地範圍，含括新竹市政府側門中央路及府後路交叉口之大禮堂前原停車場及汽車出入口、新竹美術館前廣場以及護城河草坪綠帶與二二八紀念碑等都市開放空間。範圍內含括新竹市政府禮堂、新竹市美術館、二二八紀念碑、新竹市政府（原新竹州廳歷史建築）等重要文化設施，位居新竹市護城河文化設施廊帶都市開放空間之重要節點。
本案之設計規劃目的在形塑完整之都市中心區域文化地景廊帶。串連周邊都市開放空間系統，同時，回應現有之文化設施建築機能，詮釋區域都市開放空間特質。
廣場設計，以模矩化之流動曲線統合路口各區域之形式語彙。透過曲線之凹凸與介面之高低變化，形成回應環境特質與機能需求之休憩、停等、展示等重要之空間節點。選擇使用陶磚、耐候鋼材等直接材料，回應護城河與區域內歷史建築之歷史與記憶文化涵構。交織流動之陶磚鋪面，以竪鋪陶磚之基本尺寸，模矩化之圓與弧系統圖形完成。除企圖透過系統化、單元化之材料使用及施作工法的思考，達成施作之簡化。核心目的，在透過單元／整體、系統／變異等幾何秩序關係之辨証，形成的抽象與間隙的張力關係；竪鋪陶磚之特有之沈重厚實，進行物質、時間、身體交織之場所時空意義詮釋
府後街地下停車場出入口之改善設計，目標在有效降低出入口建築量體之
都市景觀及視覺之衝擊。在充分檢討現有建築機能之必要設施空間後，降低現有RC 建築量體高度至一層樓，並將二層樓之設施設備整合，形成以耐候鋼材料構築之「盒子」創造可供民眾休憩之簡潔、當代，融入都市景觀環境之觀景平台。
The site of the Happiness Square landscape design project covers urban open spaces including the original parking lot and car access in front of the Auditorium at the intersection between Fohou Street and Zhongyang Road at the side entry to Hsinchu City Hall, the square in front of Hsinchu Art Museum, the grassy greenbelt along the moat and the 228 Memorial. It neighbors important cultural spaces such as the Hsinchu City Hall Auditorium, Hsinchu Art Museum, 228 Memorial and Hsinchu City Hall (the historical building of former colonial Hsinchu City Hall) and encompasses key nodes of urban open spaces along the cultural corridor of Hsinchu's moat.
The design and planning goals of this project are to shape a comprehensive corridor of cultural landscapes at the city center, connect urban open space systems around the city, respond to the architectural functions of existing cultural facilities and express the qualities of local urban open spaces.
The design of the plaza uses fluid modularized curves to integrate the formal languages of different areas at the intersection. Variations in the concave/convex curves and the elevations of different interfaces help form important spatial nodes that address both the environmental characteristics and functional requirements such as resting, lingering and exhibition. Straightforward materials like ceramic tiles and weatherproof steel are selected to echo the cultural context formed by the history and memories of the moat and historical buildings in the area. Interwoven and free-flowing ceramic-brick paving is completed using the basic size of the vertically laid ceramic brick and modularized patterns of circles and curves. The systematic and modular use of materials and construction techniques contributes to simplifying the construction. The core objective is to create a relationship of tension between the abstract and the interstices through dialectics of geometric orders between unit/whole and system／variation. The quintessential weight and firmness of the vertically laid ceramic bricks offer an interpretation of the spatiotemporal meaning of a place woven by material, time and body.
Improvements to access to the underground parking on Fuhou Street are aimed at effectively reducing the impact created by the volumes at the entry to the urban landscape and visual effect. After a comprehensive examination of the necessary facilities and space in the existing building and their functions, the existing reinforced concrete building is reduced to one story high, and facilities and equipment on the second story are consolidated so that a "box" made of weatherproof steel now creates a clean-cut and contemporary viewing platform in harmony with the urban landscape and offers a place for the public to rest.
