Hualien City, Taiwan, 2024
Site Analysis
The villages of Yanjiao, Jiqi, Xinshe, and Fuxing in Hualien County, Taiwan, are rich in natural and cultural resources but face challenges from urbanization, ecological degradation, and population outflow, threatening indigenous culture.
To address this, a sustainable development plan integrates traditional ecological wisdom with local culture. Key strategies include creating cultural activity zones, marine rehabilitation areas, and ecological farming zones to restore ecosystems, preserve heritage, and engage youth for a sustainable future.

03. Preservation Plan of Historic City
Shilin District, Taipei City, Taiwan, 2023
Site Analysis
Shilin Night Market and the Shilin Paper Mill are situated along the historic Keelung River course, which once enabled thriving trade. The area had irrigation canals and several theatres, though only Yangming Theatre remains. The Shilin Paper Mill, established in 1918, was once powered by Waishuangxi but is now mostly demolished, with its site used as a parking lot. Shilin Public Market, designated a heritage site in 1998, is now housed in a steelframed structure. The land is mainly privately owned, with some public land near the paper mill and roundabout. The district's buildings, aged 30–50 years, reflect a mix of old and new. Vacant spaces, especially on Danan, Dadong, and Wenlin Roads, hold potential for revitalisation.

District Planning of Shiling Market
The design preserves historical spaces, fostering interaction between users and the traditional market activities. A linear plaza enhances the historical axis, while separating logistics from pedestrian paths. Improved walkways and open spaces strengthen user engagement with the surrounding environment.

2. Maintaining pedestrian flow in the business district
3. Redesigning service routes to reduce logistics noise
4. Strengthening the historical axis 5. Creating a buffer

Shuangfeng vli., Xinzhuang District, New Taipei City, 2021
Site Analysis
Design Concept
We see this land as a dormant space and aim to revive connections between people, land, and community through a healing landscape. Farming helps people recognize the land’s character, plants foster interaction, and the results ultimately benefit the community. In the bubble plan, we reallocated space, added stone tiles to the drive line, reduced branching, and planted shrubs to shield the chicken coop. A rain garden concept improves the pond, while herbs on the main path enhance sensory stimulation. Hand planting fosters connection, and harvested vegetables support community lunchboxes. Landscape plants around the perimeter enhance visuals and minimize external traffic impact.

05. In a Flash Photography
''The light constantly changes, and that alters the atmosphere and beauty of things every minute.''
Light and shadow is my favourite photographic theme, everything in the world has a sunny side. There are also shadows, light and shadow have never been coexisting and symbiotic.Therefore, I love sunny days in life because the sun will make a lot of things in the world become alive.
