Chapter I : Visual Contact The selected projects in this chapter are a series of attempts to reorganize space based on construction of visibility. Visual contact is one of the basic human senses that trigger a person’s emotional and physical reactions. The ways in which we act is dependent on our visual surrounding. Our actions link together to become continuous stories, much like a rolling film. Architecture has always played the biggest role in our daily lives as the main stage for acting stories.

The Kiosk, operated by seniors, is one of an interesting tradition in architecture department of THU. It severs drinks, light food on core studio class days, and probably the most helpful service is reselling materials for model making till mid-night before every class day.

The given issue was to relocate this kiosk at an ideal place inside building of architecture department, and expanded its services so it would not only serve the depar tment internally, but also welcome external people to come in. In order to achieve the best effect, I chose to relocate the kiosk at one of main entrances of the department building, where allows double sides visual penetration from both end and across the section of the building. The events that happen here will become attractions like gravity pulling much more people to join in. Thus we can maximum the potential interactions that triggered by this kiosk's function.

Project Introduction The project site is located at a newly developed residential area near Taichung Technology Park - the biggest area of gathering high-tech industries in midland Taiwan. The project house is design for a young couple who both cooperate with the nearby technology companies as product designers. They are seeking for a house which could combine their working studio and living spaces. The privacy needs to be well coordinated between often visit customers, friends and their daily lives, but without creating too enclosure space since the site area isn't adequate.

Design Concept Housing pattern is a strong influence of dwellers’ relationship. The composition of spaces and rooms form the stage of people's interaction. Modern residential houses are mostly composed by connecting separated rooms with corridors.

Activities are bounded within rooms with fewer connections with others. Through this project, the attempt is to break through these boundaries of traditional Taiwanese houses and create a visual merged space, but keep the same spatial relationship.

Visibility plays a key role in this project. It is acting as the main joint of bonding programs together and creates continuous scenes of client's life style.

On the weekends, studio is functioned as a study room and classroom focusing on providing junior high and senior high school students' education of physics and math.

On week days, it is used as client's personal working space. Sometimes both will happen at same time. The main challenge is how to divide the limited space according to the demands with acoustic isolation between 2 main spaces (classroom and working space) but also have spaces visually wide enough to deliver cozy atmosphere.

Chapter II : Social Response Social hierarchy and physical boundary of space is often used as a representative means to create distinction between activities, social class and relationships. In this chapter, I explore architectural design as one method of breaking down social and physical barriers between people. The aim is to find a way to eliminate such isolations in our society and make architecture an assisting factor in creating harmonies.

700 years ago, there was a cultural movement which advocated people being more focus on self-awareness, on science, on rethinking of the religion based on humanism. Between human rights and theology, people started to have new idea of the relationship of them.

Personal Works

Background information At 1980, a 25 hectare full-block site, which in the center of Taipei city down town, was constructed to be a memorial garden after the death of the former president Chiang, Kai Sheik. This man was known as one of the warlords (Leader of KMT, a political party originated in China) in mainland who declared himself as the Chinese military leader during World War II. After the war, his regime had been challenged by communists, and soon the loss of his battle and territory forced him to turn his army into Taiwan in 1949. He soon reorganized his regime and power into a highly monocracy government. In order to secure his rule of the very last territory, Taiwan island, he established all kinds of methods that a tyranny will do such as "The Holocaust of Feb. 28th" to wipe out the protesters holding against his corrupted local governments', "The White Terror" which killed tens of thousands of innocent Taiwanese been accused to be communists, and not to mention that he manipulated himself as an national hero and saint by making he and his son been continuously "elected" as "president" for over 40 years (1948-1988).

Relationship between Taiwan and China Although it is an obvious truth that Taiwan is not part of China, but it is still full of ambiguous among citizens' recognitions due to historical connections of both sides and cultural symbols implanted by KMT to demonstrate their legitimacy of ruling and representative as legal government for China in the UN. Not like all the other art and architectural form brought and left by the colonizers during past 300 years of Taiwan history, this time we are facing an unprecedented condition of a fully overwrites of island's history and memories.

The project aim is about to redefine the relationship between Taiwan and China by referring the arising theory of Desinicization -elimination of Chinese influenceand applying it into the biggest and symbolized site over the country. Also bring in the chance to raise the citizens' consciousness of thinking about what their country really is and buried past.

The mysterious park competition At 1976, right after president Chiang passed away, an open competition of his memorial park was held by the presidential office and a group of selected juries. The aim was set to choose a proposal of a park which servers the memorial of the president Chiang with satisfaction of citizens' amusement functions surrounded as a civil park. But somehow after the submissions reviewed by the former first lady, the result all suddenly came out with a traditional Chinese architect's proposal which has the least green ratio and maximum memorial function among all the competitors. Also it’s full of art form and symbols that only belongs to the ancient Chinese emperor and gods in order to reinforce the apotheosis.

The Site Now According to the data at the top of this page, we can see that in the district Chung Chen, which the target site is located, has the 4th highest population and density of the city. But as the major open space in this district, the park serves memorial and worshipping function more than caring about the citizens' daily uses. The overall park planning scale is not human oriented. It is based on the idea of overrating a former president into an unnecessary saint almost like god. The people in Taipei, who already suffer from not enough open space, are struggling to apply their daily life into this temple-like park.

The programs are rearranged according to the habits of dwellers in Taipei city.

Now the citizens' requirements and activities are fully merged with the park. The new facilities are setup by considering more of how to provide decent leisure open space for people, not for serving only memorial purpose anymore. Also, since the memorial hall building is now surrounded by a raised ramp park, people can walk up and see the whole building as a huge sculpture in an intimacy distance. Thus, it is no longer a huge divine object toward city.

Project Introduction Since the Industrial Revolution, massive unification and categorization has become part of our daily life. Not only products, but also architecture joined this trend. The purpose of this project was to explore the possibilities of how would our society transform if human keep develop this trend extremely? The idea was to create an evenly distributed world by using selected functional furniture. Those furniture compose a pattern that been duplicated itself unlimitedly to the end of horizon. The large scale of traditional definition that composed our society has been broke down into smaller scale of zonings, which are defended by individual movements. The zoning of each different person's daily life now cross with others.

The boundary that originally classified people has become blurring. There is no longer space to limit activity; it is activity to define space.

Chapter III : Meta-Information This chapter is a collection of my work that applies parametric software during design, construction or manufacturing. Most of them are real practice projects from my career at two different design offices. As mentioned in the introduction, modern architectural design involves mass amounts of information and data that architects need to cope with (building codes, materials, dimensions, programs, etc.). Computation is definitely a powerful tool that assists architects in making decisions or judgement. It provides a much more scientific way for depicting my thoughts of subsequent continuity in both visual communication and representation.

Project Introduction This project was assigned with 2 main phases. First phase was to analyze a natural phenomenon or an organism. The purpose was to decompose the target and find its very basic composing unit or logic that forms the system. Then compose a geometric object that constructed by following the abstracted rules.

Second phase was to transform the result of phase 1 research and applied it to a headquarter design for a selected brand.

The basic unit system of wave water forming

- YEAR: 2009 - TYPE: Research - SITE: Taichung, Taiwan - CONDITION: N/A - NOTE: Academic studio project (2 phases included)

Phase 1 The wave phenomenon is triggered by given force like wind blows, earth rotation or earthquake. After the force is input, the energy will transport through orbiting water molecules in continuous circulatory motion. My aim was to capture few moments from this motion and reconstructed it by connecting the different moments with time line, then overlapping the total transformation in one single picture frame, so that the creation was not just reproducing the phenomenon, it was representing the whole system.

Progressing direction

Clip 1

Clip 2

Clip 3 Progressing time

This study process was to zoom in into the wave system in micro scale of each water molecules circulation. By lofting 2 clips' points together, the continuity of the ideal molecules movements could be observed.

Random factor inserted

Above studies were formulated based on the basic ideal rules of wave. In reality, one important factor is the uncertainty of the input forces direction. Thus, I reset the regular arrangement of progressing direction of wave within the sampling area into randomly spread. Final step was too reconnected the new points together in to wave lines, and then connected those lines into surface.

Phase 2 Adidas was the selected brand for continuing my design development. The main reason that I chose Adidas is because it is a globally well-known spor tswear company. It’s branding image of motivating people to do exercises and sports match very well with the unevenly distributed wave from. I believe to create a HQ building for Adidas by using wave concept will not only fit its branding images but also could actually meet the functions with designing a very dynamic space.

Design Concept The core idea was to keep going on with the study logic of phase 1, which decomposed a natural wave surface into a 2 dimensional analysis and use it to recompose an artificial 3D wave surface. In phase 2, I tried to recapture the key section lines from the final model of phase 1 (2D), then duplicate them as a square to form a series of self-lofted wave surfaces (3D).

Grasshopper as formulating tool Fulfilling the complicated Taipei city building code is the most challenged part of this project. The cantilever canopies must meet the given conditions such as transparent ratio, maximum cantilever distance, and window opening ratio. Also, the design needs to pass few rounds of urban committees review. In order to match above situations as the design development was undergoing, I formulated a system that could integrate the code regulations and the design progress. The result could be adjusted according to updated inputs.

Project Introduction "Morphing Chair 2" is evolved from one of NOIZ ARCHITECTS famous furniture ideas. The sections of "Morphing Chair" were selected from famous design chairs throughout history. By morphing one section to another, the continuous transformation formed a unique visual sequence. Then we manufactured these sections through CNC cut plywood and assembled them into one piece by penetrated the straight steel rods. But in "Chair 2", the client requested us to fit the chair with a curved wall precisely. The main challenge was to solve this condition by creating a joint system that could connect the cut sections with precise angles.

The challenge was to how to fix the curvature of the curved surfaces with limited given budget. After several rounds of test, we decided to put multiple laser-cut steel section plates, which the section was precisely extract from the 3D model. Thus, the smashed steel surfaces could be bent by following the determined sections to control its final curvature.

Project Introduction Day3/5/6 is a public art project setup in a newly opened shopping mall (2013) near Yokohama harbor. The installation is split in 2 parts. First part is the biggest object that composed by Voronoi geometric made by steel plates. Second part is 2 smaller pieces which are designed as seats for shopping customers. The most difficult part of this project is that all the cushions on top of the seats are hand-made foam units. The precision of cushions were all relying on contour lines extract from 3D model and printed out on paper as guide lines of cutting and shaping foams.
