The Final Project Looking-out Pavilion

Women&Chinese Buildings Once, the window frames had been the symbol of trapping a free-spirited woman living in a confined boudoir, and now we see a woman, through the window, reveals an elegance of confidence. Here, Chinese buildings and window frames become design elements to show the self of a modern woman who knows how to present herself in a unique way which is quite different from before. Utilizing a bikini to render the quality of confidence of a modern woman expresses the most attractive side of her, so that the constructions and window frames are no longer the cages that trapped the body of a woman, but become scenery to set off the beauty of femininity. Supervisor/Chen,Kou-Jen. Shih,Chang-Fu

Inspiration Chinese architecture and gardens are full of delicate sculptures, bridges, and ďŹ&#x201A;owing water. Especially, the rooms for the girls in respectable families are full of delicate window sculptures.

Film Story Design <Be With You>
Story outline She found that she has already passed away a year earlier. She has had a happy family and a son with the chief actor in the future world. She knew that marrying the chief actor would let her pass away in the age of 28. However, she still chose not to evade from it and face the fate bravely. She left her son a diary to be prepared for leaving in the future. In the diary, she promised her son that she would come back to see him in the rainy reason a year later again after she passed away. (Indeed, it's she who travelled through time from the past.) The deďŹ nition of happiness is not necessary to be getting old together. Even if it's just a short gathering, if one could cherish the love that he/she possesses in the current moment, a moment could be turned into eternity. 36
