ABOUT ME Hello there!

In my opinion of architectural isn't only about the building the project but also the character that I've got .

Explore it , deep down into the inner heart of my own and release it . I am an active person , with the ability to adapt myself to different tasks and works , as a team or individually . I consider myself responsible , creative , quite attentive to details . Also I was an art student during high school and really passionate about art graphics and designs.

AEROTROPOLIS

Aerotropolis is a city built on the basis on the air-craft industry. However, positioning the Aerotropolis in this way means that the Aerotropolis should have an absolute and direct relationship with the airport.

Although the city has an impeccable mass transit system connect between the main building and the Aerotropolis , it is necessary to build new transportation nodes, which will differentiate between the core planning of Aerotropolis. Due to its geographical location with the airport. The MRT A16-A19 stations are more likely to become the main center of the Aerotropolis.

I propose a very powerful way to solve this problem in the imperfect TOD planning, to deal with the missing problem from T3 terminal and the whats Aerotropolis?.

The solution is to open an underpass patio pathway below the south runway, open the missing pedestrian space in Aerotropolis,and to create a new 2050 city with green andwithout any private cars.

TOD typically includes a central transit stop (such as a train station, or light rail or bus stop) surrounded by a high-density mixed use area, with lower-density areas spreading out from this center.

TOD is also typically designed to be more walkable than other built-up areas, through using smaller block sizes and reducing the land area dedicated to automobiles .

The densest areas of a TOD are normally located within a radius of ¼ to ½ mile (400 to 800 m) around the central transit stop, as this is considered to be an appropriate scale

for pedestrians, thus solving the last mile problem.

Taoyuan Aerotropolis site plan is planned under the land-use zone.

The most important part of this project is making sure that there is enough activities and opportunity in Aerotropolis!

Therefore transportation stands a crucial decision of all parts.

he first-year design course is the initial education developed by the architectural profession. In addition to the accumulation of professional knowledge, students are established to have a good learning attitude, cultivate students' curiosity and care for the surrounding environment, develop students' creativity and imagination, and guide students to professional ethics. The emphasis is on the nutrients that can be provided in this year’s architectural education. _ 27

WHAT IS MISSING IN CAMPUS ?

This is a project that I made in my freshman year.Due to the different experiences and different personalities.

Everyone can see things differently.

Their are amout of things should be solved.

First, we should find out the location that isn't perfect in our own point of view. But without just build the whole thing we should developed design from mechanical structure.

The pictures in the left are mechanical that I found and was really interseting. Compare an angine to the car itself it's really tiny but it could really power up the car like God creating human beings .I was so fascinated about it .

he second year design course is the beginning of architectural design. After a year of basic design exercises, the spatial form of a person's physical scale is based on basic understanding and operational ability. This semester is a way for learners to deepen their observation, understanding, analysis, and construction of buildings and building bases. The method and ability of personal planning and design analysis, through more types of planning and design exercises, to establish a more complete basic design capabilities of the initial building. _ 31

his semester is the initial step for us to add in human scale.

This is a really important step for all of the architectural students.

Pavilion design is an great way to start instead of hopping into a full house design without knowing any scale concept.

Drawing are always the best way and the fastest way for me to understand a person or a place.

During the drawing process I will truly observe the details.

Pavilian a temporary structure, such as a large tent, especially used at public events or for shows.

The location is surrounds by trees but isn't covered by any of them .

Due to the habits of asian and the weather of Taiwan, it already got a specific use of it .

Process of the model

A point in geometry is a location. It has no size, no width, no length and no depth. A point is shown by a dot.

Two lines that meet in a point are called intersecting lines.

A plane extends infinitely in two dimensions. It has no thickness. An example of a plane is a coordinate plane. A plane is named by three points in the plane that are not on the same line.

his place was a War-remained Facilities during the Japanese occupation. It used to be boom in the period, but beacuse of the change of time younger generation no longer lives here. Jianguo village start to decline , the only people who lives here was the soldiers that still thinks that there might be a war in the future.

After a lot of consideration, the government decided to keep the buildings in this area.As a future education and information center, the researchers and history of the visit will be retain. _ 38

Time corrodes the wooden door, allowing the window's line of sight to circulate with another building window.

Time rust roofs, doors, windows, sights are not just horizontal development.

Having a closer look the visual being led to the roof create a vertical visual flow.

The same building has openings of different sizes, which make the vision compressed, and then close again because of the angle.

Different windows are created through different periods opens up the visual.

The window and the wall create visual differences, making the original opening visually narrow.

Although the courtyard low wall doesn't affect the vision but it affects the window before and after the behavior is connected at a certain angle.

The circulation and the visual are certently different due to the Land distribution.

The building used to have different programs,so the people reconstructed the building to what we see today.

After the reconstruction, something special happened.

The wall blocks the moving path, but the opening continues the vision. _ 41

hen it comes to Hostel it is a totally different thing for me .

Hostel is a place to meet, to connect. Hotel is a place to relax , spending times with spesific people.

It seems to be really similar but actually It makes the programme a huge difference.

I am a backpaker myself and there are several reasons to stay in hostels .

First obviously saving money.

Second meeting people.

Third exchange stories.

W

hen I first walked into the Nanjichang community, It remindes me of the "Kowloon Walled City" that I once searched on the Internet. The original construction volume was added by the household, and the public space was reduced little by little. Formed a maze-like "Kowloon Walled City".

The area of ​​ Zhongqinli is about 0.08 square kilometers, but there are more than 7,000 people living in it.

Among them, there are more than 1,400 old people, nearly one-fifth of the entire population, and more than one hundred living alone.

In the once-famous Nanjichang community, with the changes of the times, a large number of political immigrants and rural immigrants flooded into Taipei.

The space of 8 level ground are certainly not enough for this amout of people.

Due to the lack of space, many of them were stamped, and illegal construction was built. They completely ignored the modernist of architecture and grew the own style of Taiwan. _ 52

anjichang community are design for everyone in this county, because of the immigration and the house price. We can say this is the hood of Taipei city.

NUCLEAR POWER The 2050 robot replaced many of the labor jobs that humans did not want to do, and medical. Nuclear energy is the main source of energy, and the nuclear energy are like crop circles surrounded besides us.Due to the power struggle caused the nuclear explosion.

BACKGROUND Human beings are living in the Self-sufficiency tower and having a peaceful life.

VARIANT/ GRADE After nuclear explosion 40% sharp decline in population. ppl graded into 3 kind of species .

EATER Species that live under the tower like ants using the the resorse that was left overs.

TOWER CLAN Species that live in the tower but also traitor . They were one of the eaters.

SKYCREW skycrew are having a wealthy life.

THE ENERGY TUBE Also called "skylight", Waste discharge port, although the waste discharge is waste by Skycrew and tower clan, but it is resources to Eaters on the surface where resources are scarce.But for the survivors who come from afar, they have become "faith." It sounds ridiculous to the locals, but only in this way can more survivors hold the belief of survival.

FAITH From the bottom to the top .

Eater - the light Tower clan - sky crew Sky crew -TEC _ 60

2085 2085 After 30 years the eaters society have had become a peaceful world and they had build a wonderland belongs to them .

2100 2100 An eater found a tower clan.

2130-2200 2130 - 2200 Eater doesn't need the resource no more ,they could produce by its ownself.

With time goes by ,50 years later the jaming tube is blocked in a long-term.

THE GAMING THE GAMINGTUBE TUBE The energy pipe had stand for almost 300yrs ，but because of the jaming. Tower clan force to check what actually happened beneath the tower.

They suddenly found out that Eaters no longer need the resource caused severe problems.

But still ,sky crew had no idea what’s happening carry on living there wonderful life.

Little do they know,the Corrosive substance is biting there life space.

TOWER COLLAPSE TOWER COLLAPSE The space on the tower slowly collapse. It once maintained the operation of the entire tower,People's survival.

The water is eutrophic because it is no longer flowing for a long time. The originally transparent tube is also covered with turbid moss.Because of the siphon, its pouring into all living spaces .

RETURNING THE GROUND RETURNING THE GROUND Sky crew set the war because of shortage of resources.

EATER VS CREW EATER VSSKY SKY CREW Sky crew set the war and broke the peaceful world that eater had built.

Bullet is the only thing that sky crew had left .Without that they are nothing .

At the end they are done.

EATER TOWN Eater town has born in 2300. They had a huge landmark of all towns in 300km.

The tower could provide all population to live, but their arent “human ”no more . _ 61

believed that there is always a connection between everything and every person.

Like I don't believe the concept such as strangers , it's only friends that I haven't met.During the travel journy , we met people randomly in the bar even on the road . But it's all about luck and fate.

I'm trying to creat a space that is surrounded by curves and confusing pathes. Because of the confusing path, it could create different situations for peolple meeting each other as much as possible .Therefore, the space would not only have a spesific program but also a place to meet to share stories. _ 72

his building is a huge volume that alights besides the river , I proposed a light envelopement , as if it were constitute by lines . The building opens up from the main road towards the river .

The complete package of programmes that comprise the volume is surrounded my six curves , exterior space at some pionts and interior at others , which makes it extremely complex. Although it is a very small building , it is probably the most complex to unerstand and navigate through all the works .

The concept of the hostel was creating a maze that could possibly get lots .As a result of getting lots in the building , it force people to promote the exchange of different experience.

Alfred Adler once said " A thron in human , starts from interpersonal relationships".

Making a solid wall wasn't the only way to divide spaces .

But the more solid stable it is , the less variability .

Even carpet and curtain could sperate spaces into two .

What if the space are divided in imaginations?

T

he project is mobility , there are some movable light walls that due to different situations , the form follows the fuction .

This exhibition hall could divide spaces into several small spaces ,though it could assume more small activities , like some DIY classes during the exibition are still going at the same time .

It could also transfer into a full use by moving the irregular wall into different derection .

Due to the change of the wall It also makes a big change of the route .

Although some of the exhibition are private , but the column were calculated to block the possibility to go through a tiny gap . _ 86

L

ight architecture is clean and white , from the outwardly and also inwardly.

Relatively speaking , when it comes to the use of it , it becomes a quite false building .

Like people who seem to be very quiet but are actually blocked by the continuous mowemont of their central nervous system .

This antagonism is quite clear in the coexistence of the way that column and the clean materials , a perfect example of anacoluthon : there is no agreement between them .
