The topic “ Behind the scene ” started from my interest in film-watching, not only the movie story but more care about the idea. Set, screenplay, CG . . . etc that didn’t show on screens.

Also, Cinema as a place that plays film often ignored by audience. However, cinema is still one of the buildings with various functions in urban and rural areas. It belongs to the community. People play around and pass by, but once they walk into it, they are immersed in a magical feeling. Cinemas always surpassing the independent existence of time and space. ACT 0 :

When you search for movie theaters, these huge buildings appear. Today's cinemas are pursuing luxury and multiple theaters, but the enclosed environment weaken the relationship between cinema and the city. However, there were diverse film-awtching activities in the past time due to the devices and the specific condiction of space, aslo the screen and the way people experienced motion pictures were different.

Mobile devices let the screen smaller and thinner,people can watch movies easily in any time.

peeping through a camera obscura to the invention of projectors and theaters, people went into the "black box" to watch movies became a popular entertainment . Later, mobile devices and streaming media allow people watch movies at any time ; The sense of ritual experience in theaters disappeared due to the unchange space of commercial cinemas. Until now, people either go to the newest cinemas or use their own small screens to experience movies that movie viewing activities are becoming more and more personal whether in public spaces or 3C products.

Cinema nowadays

Cinematic spaces scattered in the city

What if we opened the boundary of the cinema, and scattered these theaters into the city to rethink about the definition of cinema that really belongs to each their own hearts.

Modern Cinema

The period of Japanese occupation coincided with the popularity of movies. Traditional stage performances and modern films produced many different types of theaters in Tainan. The booming theater development formed a movie street. In the period of the Temporary government, it expanded into movie village and became the city with the highest density of theaters in Taiwan. The theater is not only a place for colonizing and enlightening functions, but also shaping the tacit understanding of Japanese and Taiwanese people enjoying movies together on holidays. 11

Can you imagine that theaters not only playing movies but showing the life style of city ? Looking back to the history and what if we put different period of times’ theaters together will the experience of movie watching become completely different ?

Taiwan and Japan share some similarity in social challenges, since above social challenges already occured in Japan, perhaps it’s a perfect time for us to be innovated and design a new type of residential space that reflects 21st century cosumer behavior and social issues we are facing.

Such shift creates a major impact on commodity production and consumer behavior allows the world to be more sustainable than ever. But how about construction industy?

Moreover, under the influence of circular economy concept, new generation coosumers prefer access over ownership; such trend can be seen in a pervasive growth of services such as zipcar, youbike and more in the past decade. Such mind set is not only changing the landscape of commercial products and service but also challenging the concept of home ownership in most metropolitan areas in the world. Nowadays issues of aging society and the vanishing of the middle class start to challenge people’s perception about home ownership and their way of living. In netherland, germany and japan, the idea of collective living begin to take shape. Government funded housing projects that encourage young people and senior citizens to live collectively have start to gain momentum in these countries. Perheps such collective housing projects provide a basis for us, as architects, in envisioning future residential spaces.

Rainfall in taipei is abundant. The annual rainfull is up To 2376mm. The collage on the left hand side shows the potential inundation area along the river side when the global temperature comes to 0.3˚c , 1.5˚c and 3.0˚c. Through the section drawings and the figure ground of city, we could know the relationship between the buildings’ level and sea level in different phases. The result will change future planning in the design of this area site-planning. Based on the data of global average temperature change in 50 years , Taipei will flooded by Tamsui river. Till then , the shape of west Taipei becomes peninsula .

Many countries are trying to find different materials, building types or programs to adjust the different threatens to living area. They all claimed that the disaster is inevitibly, no any country wiil be excluded. We put several programs into the master planning of urban, the devices have different scale. From a community in large scale to even a landscape in small scale. It turns out to be a future living network with different infrastructure, transportation and society. The building on the site is no longer just architecture, it becomes a media of new living type of 21st century. By then, the building for the residents, it will no longer be just the building itself, but a declaration of future life.

Axis development

Spot the speciﬁc space of Nan-Ji-Chang, extend all the axes that presented the views from diﬀerent

locations. Extend the street axes into the site to strech the open space for the community, providing three seperate entrances to the school.

The irregularities break the hard line of the traﬃc route as the area expands in terms of both ground plan and cross-section, thereby oﬀering interesting routes and alternating views to the outside.

Learning and Playing

In generally, students only have ten to fifteen minute after class to play, get rest and go for toliet. As a result, the elements in the central hall offers literal and figurative room to play in, including the large stairs , rock climbing wall and the library, are distributed around the building, the multipurpose hall is totally open to traffic, again allowing space to expand.

The youngs and the elders.

In the future, the school can be further opened for community sharing with the management arrangement. The individual entrance can directly reach the welfare

center and will not cross the teaching flow line. The arrangements of the architecture provide the children with markers: they are able to appropriate the different areas and feel comfortable in them. By seeking to create indeterminate places, the building offers greater flexibility: as a result, the schools create places that are more individual, and giving a clear openess for the community.

Section

Section A-A’ shows the longside of common space of school. The corridors form an inside out ciculation path between teaching areas and others which not only blur the static and dynamic boundary but also bring the landscape into the interior.

Classrooms of each grade has diﬀerent design and location considering in and combining with the ways of learning to add the variety of teaching and life experience.

Grade 1 & 2 , kindergarten : Underground & ground floor to commune with nature. Grade 3 & 4 : Reading area and discussing space. Grade 5 & 6 : Roof farm linked to classroom makes outdoor educational activities possible.

16. Tree ring for six years Circular ramp from bottom to top is inserted among three teaching-buildings thus

connects the multipurpose areas of each ﬂoor to play in. Changing height with the tree

and the round frame of sky as the play of transparency allows the building to be read on a number of levels.

Each age group has its own stairs and there’s room for every teacher to put pupils to

work individually or in groups either in the classroom, between the classrooms, by the

windows, or in the corridors. The older children are upstairs, the smaller ones can walk right out the door, into the enclosed park.

19. Multiple box

The gymnasium located at the second ﬂoor of welfare center building. The space could be multiple used for sports like basketball court and student activities such as the graduation ceremony as well.

Skyline of the welfare center and the walkup apartment buildings

Street view from the main road. The facade of the gymnadium provides the subtle gradations of light and shade. Playground could be seen by the passerby owing to the penetrating axis of view.

Two ramps connect to the semi-opened schoolyard. In contrast, the ramp go underground lead to the kindergarten and the babycare center for the community.

WHEN DID I STOP? HOW WE REACHED THE THRESHOLD ?

/ /

THRESHOLD When we talked about “threshold”,we usually thought in horizontal and physical way as a door or a gate which brought us to a new place from another. However,it might be existed in vertical way as well as the photo shows the threshold between water and air.

Therefore, I imagine several experiences of reaching the threshold in vertical dimension. When you moved , bodily presence and movement will allow you to realize the space changing .

When you lain down ,

curved ceiling stocked the sight,

you could reach the sky view outside.

You need to bow and find the way out .

After you bowed and went up to stairs,

Light penertrates through over and showing on the wall.

you could feel the sunlight and

cool water dropped from the pool above.

Space changed your movement , it became larger or smaller.

Cool water overflowed to heat pool , threshold of temperature appear in the air.

Also , by drawing several spaces of static fit becomes a sequence, it also shows the dynamic fit that how people move in horizontal dimension.

Concept drawing of dynamic fit :

Architecture combined with the horizontal and vertical thresholds that were all reached by our own body.

SITE : The site located on half way up the Yang-Ming moutain, one of the famous natural hot-spring resort place in Taiwan. Guests access the building via a winding walkway, which is not merely a means to get from A to B. The path helps switch oﬀ and prepare the mind for what’s to come, and encourages introspection.

Body and space

Sauna includes series of body movement at different timing . At every step of the way, the architecture considered the wellbeing of saunagoers who facilitate the experience. Where possible, the design introduced elements to enhance the ritual.

NOTATION of THRESHOLD

The process:”Reaching the threshold” when we established our own pace and choreography for their own unique experience, tramsforming the reality threshold into perceptional threshold, it becomes worthy to expressing ,appreciating and discovering.

Section Through the section, you could tell the relationship betweeen body movements and perceptional thresholds. The sunlight saw by the laying and bowing people, the steam came out from closures、the cool water dropped down to heat water, all these sequences could be called “ threshold ” in perceptial way.

The pavilion has different function in day and night when the pieces of roof changing by. The roof top could be opened to let the light in, students and teachers can get rest or hold other club activities at here. The roof could also be closed and turn into a huge screen for film projecting on. Thus, this pavilion becomes an small outdoor cinema in the campus. The projector is set beneath a piece of floors which is made of glass and is different from other ones (Wood). The distance of projector is 230 cm and its projecting surface area is 100 inches, that allow it playing the film on the ceiling screen.
