The Taipei Metro Guting Station is located on the border of Zhongzheng and Da'an in Taipei, Taiwan.[2] It is an interchange station with Xindian Line, Zhonghe Line, and the Xinzhuang Line.
The defunct TRA Xindian Line also had a station of the same name. However, its location is not the same as the current station.
Station overview
The station is a three-level, underground structure with two island platforms and nine exits. The two platforms are stacked, allowing for cross-platform interchange between Line 3 and Line 4. Public art at the station is titled "Chance of Meeting" and features 12 face masks representing contrasts such as day and night, noisy and quiet, time and space, etc.[3] It was selected by international competition and cost NT$4,999,000.
Public art
The station is home to several public art pieces. By the escalators connecting the two platform levels, a Medium titled "Enterprise" displays a holographic flight trajectory of a Small and Medium Enterprise Administration.[4] Along some of the entrance hallways, "Administration" shows light boxes with images clouds in a blue sky.[4] On the upper platform in "Platform, Stage", elements from Taiwanese folk arts and Taipei Language Institute have been transformed into abstract elements and institute into two curtains of lines and language surfaces.[4]
