The Love River is known as the mother river of Kaohsiung, and the number of industrial sites along the Love River marks the development history of Kaohsiung. Love River was a blood vessel that fed blood into every organ and keeped the whole city running.
Connecting the past and present of Love River with the perception of body and water, recording the events on the riverbank, and the space transformed by several perceptual events design and a gallery will be configured on the riverbank, which will make Love River a city museum carrying the memories of Kaohsiung.
In the past, when a fisherman stepped into the water from the mud on the shore at any time, or a fisherman rowed the river, similar to the activities on the Love River today, physical experience seems to control the memory of space.
The river represents nature and also records the life of the city. The construction of water conservancy facilities around the Love River to relieve urban drainage has become a record of urban growth. Through the placement of physical perception through base events, these facilities and surrounding sidewalks have been modified.
The gallery pieced together the perceptions and stories in the city with spatial sequences, just as walking on the riverbank, sometimes dark, sometimes bright, sometimes oppressive, sometimes open, and the virtuality or reality walking experience traveled to the city museum to create their own urban memories with their bodies.

Water has the property of viscosity, the retention of material eventually produces accumulation, the characteristics of osmosis produce flow when it encounters wind, and the characteristics of extension produce elasticity when it encounters force.
The whole water body is like a complete mechanical device, there are several parts responsible for the disturbance change data, and several parts collect data to draw a trajectory map, and the degree of these dynamic changes comes from the strength of natural conditions.
This construction accumulates sand, and will relies on the embankment to form some dune, which will become a natural second embankment, It forces human to be physically close to nature, proposing a peace agreement between human and nature.

Used all the bodies of water that we came into contact with as a starting point to re-establish perception of the ocean and the city. In addition to the uniform gravitational attraction of the constant orientation to the sea, what kind of device does water experience during its journey, and what kind of posture does water have under different forces?
In the city, the water above ground is safe and tame, and there are various ways for water from all over the place to pass through the permeable city. At the junction of land and sea, the sea can be given or taken away, and the land is retaining, accumulating, intercepting, but at the same time it is also passing.
The city is surrounded by water, and the water is surrounded by the city. It carries many pieces of our lives, including memories of our lives, the objects we use in our lives, and the things we throw away, and between the actions of the water, what is thrown away and what is gained is circulated around us.
Through events and actions to collage the space, different interpretations and interpretations are interwoven into the city map in the story.

Sensory Experience of Kiln Firing / Internship Work / 2023
Type | Exhibiton Design / Collaborative Design
Site | Tangrong Brick Kiln Factory, Kaohsiung
Designer | Atelier Let's, Ta-Chi Ku
Duration | 8 weeks
Contributions | Digital model creating / Design display device and cabinets / Producing space diagrams and illustrations / Detail drawing
The concept of the exhibition is that brickmakers judge the stage of firing according to the color of the fire. Seeing the red light and narrative text of the burning fire path, listening to the sound of the flames, smelling the odor of damp soil and kiln fuel, touching the pattern of the brick walls and the smoke produced during combustion, and stepping on the undulating, sandy soil, form a perceptual experience of burning deep into the kiln body.
Earth was gathered, fire kindled, and the kiln burned slowly. Layer upon layer, Kaohsiung’s bricks were stacked, becoming the walls that once shaped Taiwan.
Water gathered, flowing into streams. People came and went, circling, at times returning, pausing briefly, only to reconnect once more.
