Timeline: 2023, 2 month
Chasing and playing are inherent in children's nature. We have chosen the circular shape as the prototype for our design development. The perimeter of the campus is defined by a circular arrangement of brick walls that gradually vary in height, creating a boundary for the campus. The classrooms, arranged in a concentric manner, create a cohesive school environment, while the corridors between the brick walls and classrooms provide space for children to run and play freely. We have created passages of varying sizes between the classrooms, connecting the outer circular corridor with the inner courtyard, allowing for the integration of active and passive activities and promoting mutual awareness.
02/ Redefining
New Architecture School
Site: East Dist, Tainan, Taiwan
Program: Architecture studios, work shop, student space, public facilities
Timeline: 2023, 2 month
OLD ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL
The original north-south axis railway system caused a huge disconnection between the east-west region. With the progression of urban railway undergrounding, a new opportunity arises. National Cheng Kung University holds significant historical importance in this city, having been incorporated into the initial urban planning. The railway front station is a bustling city center, while the back station has evolved into an academic and cultural hub.
In many cities, the division of transportation systems can appear hierarchical. However, in Tainan, the development of the front and back stations thrives independently.
Ten years from now, the railway will vanish from the urban landscape of Tainan. The campus will establish new connections with the city from a new perspective. As the indicator of the expansion of the campus into the urban, how should we interpret our new Architecture School?

Symbiotic Community Center
Site: West Central Dist, Tainan, Taiwan
Program: neighborhood center, library
Area: 3567m2
Timeline: 2022, 2 month
The site is located in the surrounding area of the old channels, used to be prosperous for a while, with high-density commercial residential activities."The temple", as the belief center of residents, provides residents communication areas for their daliy life.
However the Hai'an Road Underground Street Project, the demolition China Town Mall(which was built on top of the old harbour next
Canal in 1983), and the recent Canal Star Diamond Project tourism development. These project blocked the connection between this area and the city center, the interaction between the community had disappeared.
to Tainan
On the large scale, the old water network and Tainan canel can be observed, served as the basis for the city´s marine and fishing industry since the 17th century.On the west side, the Hai'an Road was considered as an important commercial node for residents; on the east side, the roundabout symbolizes the transportation hub of Tainan city. Commercial and cultural activities can be linked through the eastwest axis. Besides, the old theaters used to be as entertainment for residents at that time. Various activities can take place here.
On the smaller scale, I regard the Symbiotic Neighborhood Center as a node to link "the commercial pedestrian zone(Hai'an Road)" and "waterfront accessible space".
As the temple regarded as the belief center of residents, my concept is to leave open spaces as an extension of the two temples next to the site. Preserving daily activities for residents. Hoping the intervention of the Symbiotic Neighborhood Center is not to block the connection of the neighborhood here, but to maintain the sense of scale of the existing alleys in Tainan city as an extension of the scale of the houses.

By creating as many semi-open spaces as possible in response to Tainan's culture and climate. Semi-open spaces provide "communication fields" for people of all ages. Furthermore, different community functions, such as reading spaces, cooking areas, elderly workshops, and children's playgrounds, should be adjacent to each other and linked to the semi-outdoor spaces in order to increase interaction between different age groups.
B1 PLAN
Various types of semi-open spaces were incorporated into my design, and these areas were designed to respond to the temples.

The site is next to the previous project, but the difference is that adjacent to the commercial axis, as an important commercial node the city, which provide citizens, office workers and even tourists opportunities for interaction.
"GIANT"as the most famous bicycle brand in Taiwan, chooses the as its brand center combined with hotel services simultaneously. addition to serving the public functions, manufacturing space is placed to cooperate with other companies in co-working spaces. In project, I try to separate areas for different groups. Creating several "social area"combined with bicycle functions to exhibit the production process of bicycle.

GIANT BICYCLES is a multinational bicycle brand from Taiwan, who's brand spirit is to incorporate bicycles into people's daily lives, providing different perspectives for cycling journeys. They also created another brand called "YOUBIKE", which provides bicycle rental services in the city, making it easier for people to explore the city.
TDRI (Taiwan design research institute), is an important base for design research and development in Taiwan. They hold diverse exhibitions and design forums, and are committed to integrating design into the lives of the public.
Time series of different groups
The image below shows the connection between Tainan City's bicycle routes and the existing Giant bicycle stores. The site will be used as Giant's flagship store and brand hotel in Tainan. I am attempting to integrate these paths into the ground level of the site.
In the early stages of development, I experimented with various methods to incorporate bicycle activities into the ground level, aiming to make bicycles not just a means of transportation but a place where cyclists can stay and interact with others. Additionally, I intend to bring bicycle activities from the ground level into the hotel units, aiming to connect bicycle activities throughout the different floors of the building.
On the ground floor, I create bike lounge bars along the east-west axis that corresponds to urban open spaces. Tourists from other cities can leisurely explore the city on a bicycle and take a break at the lounge bars, while office workers can grab a cup of coffee before starting their workday. People with different purposes can meet each other in this area.

To maximize the potential of various bicycle-related activities in my design, I have created three converging cores embedded within different volumes. These cores, made of Corten steel, have varying openings based on the visibility of the bicycle activities taking place within. From a distance, citizens can witness dynamic activities by looking through these openings and enter these spaces via the converging cores.
Previously, cycling activities were typically located on the ground floor. In an effort to create a new type of cycling experience, I have relocated the cycling activities to the upper levels. The cycling flows can circle horizontally and lead up to the manufacturing space, which allows citizens to view the surrounding urban sights.
The cycling flows become an urban elevation that showcases GIANT's brand spirit.

Timber Pavilion for Catholic St. Joseph Technical High School
Site: East Central Dist, Taitung, Taiwan
Timeline: 2024
In this project, I attempted to participate in schematic design, design development, communicating with timber factory, drawing Construction Documents, to the later stage of project planning.
Pictures show the first phase of the project. The site is located within a courtyard space of Catholic St. Joseph Technical High School. We plan to incorporate the design for the second phase adjacent to the open area of the first phase. Create a space for students, teachers, and even residents.
In the early stages of design development, I repeatedly study between architectural forms and structural mechanics, creating various types. I aimed to achieve structural form while simultaneously creating a functional space.
my first strategy responds to the existing circulation routes of the site.
Continuing the spaces from the first phase.
Using a cantilever system to create less columns, providing more possibilities for various activities to take place.

05/ Interfacing
Reuse of old dormitory groups
Site: East Dist, Tainan, Taiwan
Program: co-working places, workshops, restaurant, exhibition space
Timeline: 2021, 2 month
The site is located in the edge of the campus of National Cheng University, surrounded by urban functions, such as commercial spaces, government agencies, and parks, and so on. In the past, Schools tend be blocked out by walls as a boundary to isolate them from outside, order to provide good teaching quality for students. However, in recent years, We began to think about whether the relationship between campus and the city can only be "blocked". As learning methods rapidly changing, people use different ways to acquire knowledge, and learning is no longer limited to campus, and different age groups can also together.
After multiple analysis, I insert different programs responsing analysis, and co-working spaces as main programs to provide places students learning through cooperation with industries.
Renovating

Observing the site from a historical perspective, the functions of the old dormitories have become unsuitable due to the evolution of times, while the axis has kept changing.
By analyzing the boundaries and axes between learning and living on an urban scale, I have classified them into five types that can lead to future design.
The Initial Boundary of Campus
The Boundary of Campus Dormitories
The Axis of Catering
The Axis of Green Belt
Existing urban context
My strategy is to integrate campus spaces into the city's overall image. I plan to create co-working spaces for students from different fields on campus, as well as for students who collaborate with industries. The main offices will be modularized for 6 to 8 people to work together, providing space for youth entrepreneurship. Other discussion spaces will vary according to the number of people.
On the ground floor, I will leave as much open space as possible, providing a community plaza that can accommodate various activities.
At the same time, there will be a workshop that offers handmade lessons for residents. On weekdays, students can share their expertise and communicate with the public, and on holidays, the market will be open to the public.

From the section, the main offices which is modularized can't be seen, I try to use split-level to distinguish other discussion spaces, to avoid mutual interferences.
SECTION A-A'
To deal with the old dormitories, I reserve part of the old structures, leaving maximized void space, increase interactions between different layers.Those dormitories become public spaces such as restaurant, exhibition space, and rental conference room.
