To better serve diversified visitors, the huge camp is divided into multiple characteristic zones. Thus, visitors can enjoy and relax in a more intimate setting without interruption.
The main issue in this area is to arrange the spaces of varying sizes according to the topography while defining all the different scales of the caves to be connected.
In response to the needs of the owners, a guest house is set up at the highest point of the park for the owners and friends to gather. It has the best natural views, while also embracing the entire park, isolated from visitors, with great privacy.
Furthermore, the hillside extends into the courtyard, creating an intimate hillside landscaping in the private area.

The site of the project sits at the four sides of the pleasing courtyard of the Tunghai University Architecture Department. Even though the yard is enjoyable, students spend most of their time in the enclosed studios, which are unfortunately
separated from the relaxing nature by the two walls. Therefore, it is hard for students to get outdoors and connect with the living world.
Regenerated Plan New Connection around the Courtyard
The extension not only connects the studio with the cozy courtyard, but also improves circulation between the buildings, making it easier for all students to communicate with each other around the courtyard. Therefore, the role of the courtyard

The extension acts as another layer between the interior and the open space. Therefore, natural elements are brought into the enclosed studio, which relieves the stressful atmosphere in the working space. With the newly built deck, students
can go out and enjoy nature in a relaxed way, as well as take part in events hosted in the yard.

FLOATING ISLAND Timber Structure Pavilion in THU Campus Type / Individual Academic Project Time / 2nd Year of BA - Nov. to Dec. 2015 Program / Pavilion and Toilets Location / Between HT building and College of Arts of THU, Taichung Tutor / Bo-Ren Zheng (neo.estudio@gmail.com )
Location Tunghai University
This project is about a wooden structure built on a tree-surrounded site. Located between the two main roads, the site is relatively static, so it is crucial to strike a balance between traffic and rest. 30
Concept Study Models Distances between Humans
In addition to basic needs, the issue of comfortable distance between humans is particularly explored. Due to the high-density living environment in Taiwan, there is an urgent need to maintain connection to others while keeping
privacy. Hence, several study models were made to explore this theme.

Responses to Site the Rhythm between Void and Volume
The site is located between two courtyard buildings, intertwined in the rhythm of solid and void spaces. In response, a lightweight prototype was selected, which effectively achieved the aim while maintaining and enriching the
original rhythm. To maintain the flow on the ground floor, most of the rest spaces are raised to separate the users who need to rest from the passing students.

Plan Public yet Private
Without walls, the space is divided by comfy distances, blurring the boundaries between privacy and public. Hence, the students in the pavilion can connect to each other in a gentle relationship.

Coexistence with Nature
In terms of materials, wood was chosen as the main material to greatly coordinate with the site surrounded by greenery. In addition, the lightweight structure with few barriers allows students to enjoy the campus scenery while
relaxing with delight.

With open view, students can take a short rest under the shelter with comfort on the ground floor. On the second floor, there are several decks of various heights for different groups to stay without being disturbed by traffic. Indoor
reading rooms on the upper floors allow users to take longer breaks, while on the highest floors students can read alone or merely get relaxed with great privacy.

Tunghai University is an old school known for its forested campus, yet it will be redeveloped for tourism. Hence, the aim is to renovate it to meet future needs while keeping the campus spirit. 34

For external and internal needs, it is proposed to strengthen cooperation among users. For example, food science researchers can offer agricultural courses to other students and nearby residents, while improving evolving
technologies. Additionally, art students and researchers can host exhibitions together on the open patio to increase their chances of securing funding or job opportunities.

Tunghai University, located near Taichung's main road, is facing drastic changes brought about by the city's continuous expansion. The demand for tourism and the agricultural needs of the surrounding residents
are increasing. Therefore, it is necessary to release part of the campus space and integrate with the current society. The goal of this project is to strike a balance between diversified needs such as public and private, students and
urban users.
Strategy Urban Void as Public Space
35
Cross Section Void between Two Extremes
In response to the hustle and bustle, a large volume was proposed to insulate the noise from the city. On the other hand, some grouped masses create private quiet spaces for campus users, coherent to the intimate scales
in campus. The huge void space in the middle is for insiders and outsiders to meet, which illustrates the core value of the collaboration hub— connecting various users in multidisciplinary fields.

Responses to Road the Visual Connection
The transparent glass box is a response to the bustling main road. As a landmark, people around the city can easily recognize it as the entrance to THU. Visitors can gain knowledge about farming by picking plants and eating food in
this cozy greenhouse restaurant, a great space to create a cooperative education model and educate the public.

At the collaboration hub, students will collaborate and create new value for what they have learned. Food science students work with culinary students in the conservatory kitchen to develop specialty dishes. In addition, art
students can take classes on the open stepped terrace from time to time, share their works and promote themselves in this open exhibition space.

Residents' City Farmland
Privacy and Public an Intimate and an Open Hall
In order to maintain the independence of the researchers' use, a separate route from the tourist route and the student route has been designed, leading to the tranquil hall for researchers on the lower level. Above, a more
public hall connects to the top of an open stepped terrace so that researchers can easily connect with other students and the public when holding seminars or lectures.
Due to the needs of urban farming, farmland is redefined as a part of community space, in which residents are better bound to where they live nearby while passing on knowledge and experience. 39
