Future Ruins Site : the place where Hsincheng Fault slices through Hsinchu Science Park, Taiwan Program : a park recording earthquake and movement of faultrk

On the scale of million years, Hsinchu Industrial Science Park was built in forty years. However, the cut of Hsing Cheng Fault has put the seemingly perfect science park in an extremely unstable state. Therefore, it will be a process of conflict and balance between the 28 kilometers natural line and the 749 hectares artificial park.

Measurement Line A

The 500-meter line is the passage from facto 6 meters wide and 15 meters deep. It is a ram painting formed by the geological texture. Be connecting two sides are girders that hold up t

ories to the scared hill, a process that returns to the nature from the man-made park. This is a huge crack of mp that gradually extends into the soil. One side is made of retaining wall, and the other side displays a long esides showing the past and history, the geological painting also monitors the future movement. The bridges the gaps, transferring the pressure of the soil from the nets and columns to the retaining wall.

Hsingcheng Fault Line

At 415 meters, you will reach the fault line, which is also the entrance to the park. The Library and Theater on the fault line will move with the fault, responding to the future tiny movement of nature.

The earthquake 270 years ago on Hsing Cheng Fault caused a vertical displacement of 1.3-1.85 meters.

Moreover, the upper plate rises by 8-10 millimeters every year, and moves northwestward at a rate of 5.6 millimeters per year. I want to record the movement through space.

Library of Movement

The corridor is formed by two sloping roofs. Sunlight will shine on the fault line through the gap. The corridor is also a place for reading. In a park beyond the timescale of life, books become a trace of human in the long history.

The Metal Labyrinth

These metal walls buried in the soil will be permanently deformed by the vibration of earthquake waves, forming a huge sculpture in which a person can walk. This ever-changing landscape will be rewritten by earthquakes, forming the future ruins again and again.

Theater of Obsercation

At the end of the corridor, I placed a theater as the interface between the sacred hill and the man-made park. I wanted to create a place of seeing, where the experience of seeing and observing slowly changes through the raw power of nature - Hsing Cheng Fault.

Theater of Obsercation

When the fault moves slowly, the two ceilings on the lower plate will gradually separate, making the audience space brighter. As the stage formed by the upper plate gradually rises,the inclination of viewing the performance also implies the movement of the fault year by year.

Nature itself is the program.

The screens of trees parallel to the bands can define the boundries of strips. The overlapped natural sceneries can create picturesque images.

Site : Central, Hong Kong Program : Carpark transformed into Park

The strip park utilizes the old struture of the carpark.

Constructed and programmed in horizonal congestion, the park create a new type of landscape for city wanders. By Transferring vertical floor in skyscrapper to the horizontal strips of the park, the simultaneous presence of section and plan is created in a city filled with vertical congestion.

The Sound of Rocks Site : Gi-bei Island, Penghu, Taiwan Program : a park for fishing and sea-bathing

Stone fish weirs are the products of ancient wisdom, a way of fishing still existing in Penghu. When the tide rises, the sea level is higher than the stone weirs. The fish, attracted by the seaweed within the weirs, will enter the weirs with the seawater. Fish are also scared by the sound of waves hitting the rocks. When the tide ebbs, the fish are trapped and unable to escape because the stone weirs are higher than the level of the water. The prgram of park transforms with the tide. As the tide rise, this is a park for sea-bathing and fishing. As the tide ebbs, the park became a sculpture growing out of land, a labyrinth for walking.

The design is inspired by traditional Tainan alleyway, focusing on how human moves within city and architecture. The boulevard starts at the intersection and ends at the court museum. The boulevard generates traveling process of indoor and outdoor as well as solid and void. Different height and condition of the ceilings divides the boulevard into a sequence of spaces. Travelers can see different activities happening on the boulevard. Different programs turn into scenes in the movie.

The Half Moons Site : Natural Reserve Sebin, Italy Program : the main entrance of the whole reservation

The Half Moons is the entrance of “Torbiere del Sebino” Nature Reserve. By excavating the 4-meter-high barrier, a 1.2-meter wide door is created within the intersetion of two semicircles. The process of entering is emphasized and enlarged by the form of circle, as the spatial experience starts with wide, inviting front door, then shrinking to a door, finally open up to the sublime view nature.

Architecture as Objects

Exccavation of Soil Barrier

On the top view, semicircles serve as platforms for resting. The Half Moons is not only embedded within the soil landscape, but also an architectural object with its own identity.

The natural reserve is surround by soil barrier, ranging from 1-4 meter high. On ground level. The semicircle excavation both eliminate the boundary also connect both sides.
