1 MAHABODHI
Architecture Design (5) - 2023 Advisor 邱奕旭
The Bodhi Tree is of paramount importance in Theravada Buddhism because it's where the Buddha attained enlightenment Using it as a design concept symbolizes the path of Buddhism signifying spiritual awakening tradition, peace, wisdom, and devotion in a religious building. It creates a serene and contemplative space, embodying the core principles of Theravada Buddhism
In contrast, other Buddhist traditions, like Mahayana or Vajrayana that may incorporate more complex rituals, deities, and cultural elements, Theravada Buddhism s straightforward and individualistic approach emphasis on simplicity and meditation underscores Theravada Buddhism's commitment to the Buddha s core teachings and the pursuit of personal enlightenment.

HOUSEOF KARUNA
Karunā (क णा) is generally translated as compassion or mercy and sometimes as self-compassion or spiritual longing Karunā is the desire to remove harm and suffering from others House of Karunā is a solution for Human to live the way plants live Here, humans can produce their own food from community gardens and get their energy resource without polluting the environment from wind turbine and solar panels House of Karunā have a sustainable design, low-energy usage, great waste management so it does not pollute the environment and last but not least friendly for humans from age 1-100. In House of Karunā humans can have a similar way of life with plants and remove harm and suffering from others
Through Architecture, humans can have a similar way of life with plants

3 TECH DOME
陳德仁兼任助理教授級專家
TThe NTUST Hsinchu Digital Research Center, also known as 科技穹顶 (Kējì Qióngdıng), is a visionary architectural concept that aims to integrate cutting-edge technology, innovative design, and collaborative learning spaces. The centerpiece of the design is a large dome structure, symbolizing the pursuit of knowledge and innovation, while incorporating robotic systems to enhance student experiences and provide support in the workshop areas. This fusion creates an inspiring environment that promotes creativity exploration and hands-on learning
The NTUST Hsinchu campus currently lacks a central building that serves as a focal point and hub for various activities and functions The existing layout, with a plaza located in the middle of the campus, creates some challenges in terms of circulation and spatial organization. The presence of four entrances leading towards the plaza results in converging circulation patterns, making it difficult to establish clear pathways and wayfinding for students, faculty and visitors. This arrangement can lead to congestion and confusion, affecting the overall campus experience

AQUACULTURE LEARNING CENTRE
Tainan, well-known because of their aquaculture that has take a big part Tainan milkfish’s farmer economy and in Black-faced spoonbill bird conversation. Initially many local hatcheries used an extensive outdoor pond system which required a larger land area and was vulnerable to external conditions such as the weather and diseases By developing intensive technologies such as RAS that work in a local context, local hatcheries have since adopted an intensive indoor production system that is more productive and climate-resilient.
1 The aquaculture center's design is inspired by VOC ships that once sailed in Anping Port, paying homage to the maritime history The building shape reflects the majestic lines of these historic vessels
2 Emphasizing a direct connection, the design promotes accessibility from the road to the ocean, facilitating smooth operations and fostering community engagement
3 Creating a central bridge that connect both building as an intepretation of the true meaningful of boat fleet "United we stand, divided we fall"

OASIS THEB
Since 1962 Kuwait has recorded 98 days over 50C. Sixty-four of them have been since 2010 The hours between 11 in the morning until around 4 o'clock in the afternoon are no go time for being outdoors Can we solve this problem through the power of Architecture?
ANT Studio from India reinterpreted traditional evaporative cooling techniques to build a prototype of cylindrical clay cones, each with a custom design and size. This installation is a bespoke attempt to simplify and reinterpret the concept of air-conditioning, understanding that standardized solutions may not be universally applicable given the constraints of cost and surrounding environment
The fluid dynamic shape of terracotta pots sucks in the warm, outside air through each pot The smart sensor based water distribution system intelligently drips water onto the pots by sensing the micro climate This water gets cooled through the action of evaporative cooling by the pots When the outside air comes in contact with the chilled water, it gets cooled and the system releases hot air inside the space. Water used by the system is sensitively conserved by using a recycling system built into the structure.

ActivAlgae BIO-FACADE is an algae-powered facade This facade can produce electrical energy which provides electricity to the building
Algae are a diverse group of aquatic organisms that have the ability to conduct photosynthesis. One of the world’s fastest-growing organisms, capable of doubling in size within a day Through Architecture, humans can take advantage of Algae
Now let's take a look at how this facade works:

6
In the center of everything are the algae filled glass panels The sun provides energy so that the algae can make photosynthesis
1 Due to the photosynthesis, they multiply and produce biomass which is harvested.
3 The biogas is burned in a fuel cell in order to produce electrical energy which provides electricity to the building
The biomass is fed into a biomass reactor in order to produce biogas
4 Then CO2 is released and this carbon dioxide is used to feed the algae in the glass panels. This makes sustainable energy production.
5 The excess algae also harvested and used to make some products like food, medicine etc
8 OTHER PROJECTS
MENILCOLLECTIONMODEL
In my 5th semester, our teacher assigned us a project to create a model showcasing a unique structure from architecture around the world Our group chose the Menil Collection building due to its distinctive movable ceiling design which can controls sunlight to enhance the visitor experience
DOGHOUSE
In my 5th semester, we were ass gned a pro ect to construct a mini house using wooden structures, employing the methods taught n our Building Construction class Our team decided to build a dog house, aiming to provide a home for a stray dog, and because NTUST haven’t had one too!
HEXABLEFLEX-TRAY
Bui ding Materials Course - Final Report
Trad tional tray is a 2D-plane in surface that outdated already because object with no flat surface will roll around the tray We want to transform the traditional tray with flat surface and make it user friendly Later we d scover that hexagon is the most circular-shaped polygon that form tessellating pattern so the force spread more evenly and a material called rubber silicon
MAQUETTES
Architecture Design Course - Picture Review
Maquettes are an essential part of architectural presentations, providing a better spatial understanding of the build ng itself These scale models bring design concepts to life allowing for a tangible and detailed examination of spatial relationships, proportions, and architectural details These are the maquettes I created throughout the semester:
