From Geographor to Architect 2009-2013 National Taiwan University Department of Geography

As a knowledge surved for the conqueror in the past, geography was a subject for explorer/pioneering geographor to protrayed the landscape and the phenomenon on the earth. Trough the improvement in metrology and geo-tech, we can better describe the formation of landform and social phenomenon. During the studying in the department of geography, we gazed the landscape as culture landscape through human geography perspective, while nature geography gave the perspective of larger scale and comparison in both space and time. Combine with skill on photography, sketches, mapping and interviewing, geography gives a profound knowledge and penetrating insight toward the site planning and,plentiful layers relationship between time and space, and interactive with sociology, economics, politics, geology, climatology, geomorphology, cartography, etc.

In this project, we choose a specific site in the taipei city, and through investigate to the old tree in the community, the issue of gate communities, walls' accessbility, communities' park location and street lifes of city could be displayed.

Riverside development research

During the field work of Dansui river banks, we found out the comparison of Taipei city and Taipei county (New Taipei city).

Waste Picker map

Tracing down the route of waste pickers in Taipei city, we locate the drag out the map of few specific patterns of waste picking activity in different area and different time of their daily life. It not only shows the urban "food chains" - the material cycle of city, identifies the boundary-center section of Taipei city, as a specific viewpoint toward the myth (misunderstand) of the bottom class of Taipei.

Traveling with a Mission 2009-2013 National Taiwan University Department of Geography

"The younger generations have learned to hide their designs (the few "stolen" chances they get) near the soil. They are good Greens. They do not need houses like Falling water to breathe nature's voice. (They wanted it in urban parks, they even looked for it in flower beds). They do not need places like the Modena Cemetery to feel like a community. They have learned to steer away from monuments and to recognize forms of sculpture in tree trunks, in industrial waste. They have created a discipline which blends architecture, sculpture, design and landscaping." - Marco Romanelli, <Enric Miralles, Carme Pinos>

In 2010 and 2011 summer, my classmate and me took a traveling competition held by Ministry of Education, to explore the whole island trough 2 theme. "Taiwan Old Tree Map" to continue last year class project, visiting famous old tree by biking all around the island;"Night walk Taiwan" in 2012, we tried to figure out all special activities in taiwan night lives.

2012 group of my classmates and I take a field trip to Berlin, at outskirt we did some research about sediments carried by glacial flow, examined the proportion by equipment in Frier Universitat.

Cooperating with taiwan and St.lucia local hospital, our team visited caribbean for a special mission in 2011. Using GIS data and satellite image, we identied where the diabetic patient locate the most, as a support for local government public health bureau to provide suitable medical help. I also used rest of time to learn about caribbean colonial architecture style.

As a cooperative research project, my professor sent some of my classmates and me to Japan, helping the research project mainly about the sediments under the lake, had some examination trough magnetic and phsycal analized.

2015 PennDesign ARCH 501 STUDIO

Remoting Webs | Yu-Te Chiang |

The final project of 501 studio continued to exapand on concept of part to whole developed in the previous project. The studio will design a set of galleries to house collections of Russel Wright product design analyzed in the initial studio project at the beginning of the semester. The clear set of spatial material and tectonic principles established in the previous full-scale pavilion exercise will evolve through a full engagement of architectural criteria including, site, context, enclosure, program, circulation, lighting, materiality, space and form.

In this design studio, we proposed the use of fictional narratives as efficient environments for typologic investigation. Architecture and cinema were contrasted as two areas of knowledge ready to provoke productive shocks: timeless spatial strategies were contaminated by ready made-fictions. Students studied the history of architecture to critically extract spatial organizational strategies and made them react to fictional narratives from movies that triggered an enriched and complex interpretation of the site. Taking these constraints, students designed and critically evaluated the concept of a gallery for Manitoga.

1 PROTODOCUMENTS

TRANSPLANTING FICTIONS

Borrowing the term from Federico Soriano’s architectural design studios at the ETSAM (School of Architecture of the Polytechnic University of Madrid), ‘protodocument’ refers to the first version of an architecture document, such as a plan or a section, that uses fragments of found material. In this project, we were asked to pick architectural samples from the genealogies in the manuals of spatial tactics in order to remix them in response to your narratives. As they use previously generated studio material and other relevant references (all plan and section drawings), protodocuments are expected to bring a certain level of specificity, in the amount of detail, lines, etc, but at the same time they will be loose enough to be open to interpretation.

Proto-plan and proto-section collages (guided by your narratives) will create clashes between fragments that would, in turn, produce estrangement and open up the design possibilities. The process should therefore be fast, not prejudiced, and intuitive. Story started after little Gerard got lost, or, released into the wild. Little Girard took advantage of his small body scale and driven by his unlimited curiosity, he went off the path, crutched down through the bushes, acrossed the bridge by fallen wood. Forest became his best playground, and he couldn’t stop exploring all the corners in Manitoga, he fully understood where are the best spots for hiding, sheltering himself from his strict parents. Sometime he tried to recognized all the trees in this area but he couldn’t; he couldn’t even marked down the path he had been and the boundary of area he had explored.

COLLAGES OF MANITOGA

The project engaged in the debate between architecture's project of autonomy and it's project of agency. It investigated a third, weird and excessive category between the intrinsic properties of architecture as an object and its effects on a given field of relations with other objects. In order to produce this third, strange category, we need to become experts on the other two: on intrinsic architectural properties, spatial tactics or tropes, and on the actions that architecture produces within a larger network of actors. We had worked on both these categories simultaneously.

Why do we need to display information in physical public space? The flow of information through networks has become a defining characteristic of our urban condition, as wireless networks have penetrated and now play an increasingly dominant aspect of our lives. Global networks have facilitated the distribution of information from anywhere to everywhere so that wherever, whenever, we can locate ourselves in multiple other milieus, regardless of the actual physical environment we are immersed in at the moment. A higher sense of location is, however, also linked to physical space, deriving perhaps from the human desire to map and mark physical territory through systems of tangible benchmarks. In this competition we would like to interrogate alterative models to supplement the existing ephemeral infrastructure of site information, and consider that physical spaces also work to organize hierarchies, arranging things in order of their importance, so that objects and spaces give order to location and location gives order to objects and spaces. The same reciprocal relationship can be applied to information itself: Information can give order to location, but location can also give order to information. In this model, information is to be materialized in some tangible (physical) form.

taps into a rich flow of public information, manifesting in the confluence of isolated overlapping networks to enhance both the utility and the pleasure provided by Spring Garden SEPTA station. Interventions are both functional and aesthetic, physical and virtual, integrating modern sensibilities with the familiar - even tired - setting of a transit node. Essentially, [Contents May Differ] brings Spring Garden online, imbuing its material with the capacity to sense its users and its surroundings and then react. In this way it becomes an active agent in the distributed intelligence of SEPTA; it is an interface for a public organism. Kinetic, pixelated surfaces provide a live, multi-user sculptural performance that presents readily-apprehendable arrival and departure advisement to pedestrians and SEPTA passengers alike. This artistic update is bolstered by a smart-phone application which facilitates local events by providing logistic information and navigation, as well as hosting a virtual community for Fishtown and Northern Liberties on a regional-access forum. Altogether, the result is an immersive, interconnected experience which exceeds traditional notions of â&#x20AC;&#x153;train station.â&#x20AC;?

Warp and Weft 2015 PennDesign ARCH 501 STUDIO - Manitoga Pavilion Competition

Warp and Weft | Yu-Te Chiang |

Building on the intentionality of the first exercise, students will be introduced to an array of generative drawing and modeling techniques for interrogating the artifact and amplifying its effects. The generative exercise will motivate the construction of aggregations and part-to-whole relationships by developing new objects through a series of transformations. Students will be divided into three groups per section based on common strategies. Groups will develop the previous aggregations and create a full-scale pavilion of designed components. At the larger scale, pavilions will demonstrate the architectural consequences of their part-to-whole relationships by accomplishing structural span, component variation, durable construction and reaffirmation of prescribed normative boundaries as well as formation of differentiated and habitable space. As a group project in the second part of the first ARCH501 studio, each group take the previous aggregations and create a full-scale pavilion of designed components. At the lager scale, pavilions will demonstrate the architectural consequences of their part-to-whole relationship by accomplishing structural span, component variation, durable construction and reaffirmation of prescribed normative boundaries as well as formation of differentiated and habitable space.

Manitoga Site Analysis

“We look forward to the day when living room, dining room, and kitchen will break through the walls that arbitrarily divide them, and become simply friendly areas of one large, gracious and beautiful room.” – Russel Wright From this quote, we extract the idea of creating a loose boundary and attempt to build upon it. In the Victorian style as well as the Modern style Russel Wright advocated for, the user is subjected to a predetermined boundary, whereas Warp and Weft sets up an adaptable boundary that is receptive to a user’s intents or desires, making it a pavilion that feeds off of social interaction. This further reiterates Wright’s fascination with the “open-plan” design, and builds upon it.

Element, Prototype and Aggregation

Creating woven boundaries produces non-uniform, complex patterns allowing for just as much complexity and dynamism in how views, movement and light intensity can be mediated and experienced.

Overlaying these already composite woven frames can produce additional surfaces that are only implied. Weaving closer together and further apart influences the kinds of views and movement we can endure, as well as the quality of light and shadow. By creating an active boundary, we were able to reiterate and further explore the kind of versatility of design that Wright advocated for in his life and works.

Our pavilion references Graham Harmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part-to-whole concept in multiple ways. The most evident being the arrangement of these triangulated frames that join and notch together as they cross one another to create woven boundaries and three dimensional structures.

Forming Diagram

These triangulated components aggregate together at a variety of scales, to form three discrete units that give rise to pockets of space on either side of the boundary that are able to foster different types of activity. The performance of the newly dissolved and woven boundaries are able to trigger multiple appropriations and uses.

The fact that these units are discrete in their ability to function is what gives rise to another partto-whole dimension to our pavilion. And finally, the overarching partto-whole concept manifests itself in that the overall structure is in itself a part that is only completed with human interaction.

Warp and Weft | Yu-Te Chiang |

Rendering & Photo-document

Warp and weft is a pavilion that performs by stitching environments. It is a system of borders that is able to simultaneously build up and dissolve boundaries – boundaries between light and shadow, privacy and openness, as well as boundaries that frame views. It deals with an accumulation of woven planes that can, with human interaction, give rise to new planes – both created by weaving and the absence of it. Warp and Weft reinvents the permanence that we typically associate with the word ‘boundary’, and allows the user to stitch their own boundaries/spaces?

Beyond Same Surface | Yu-Te Chiang |

Design Concept

"Back to Lifeâ&#x20AC;? - Japanese living philosophy After the dreadful 3/11 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, Japanese architect Toyo Ito suggests the idea â&#x20AC;&#x153;Home-for-Allâ&#x20AC;? as a reflection against modern architecture, rethinking architecture through material, tectonic and the relationship between human and the nature.

The site locates in Aso city, Kumamoto-ken, southern Japan. Aso city has four distinct seasons, and is especially well known for its hot springs near the volcano Mount Aso. Here, life is tightly bond to the nature. We hope our architecture is friendly with the nature and will be a meeting place within the community, which would constantly gather local people, aged people, hospitalized and the family. We propose a timber canopy as the main form, establishing a platform for the community to gather and share ideas. It is a place shared by aged people and the community, in the same time providing support for people when it is needed.

| Yu-Te Chiang | Architecture Design

Site and Culture context

Material - Japanese philosophy ofmaterial In order to maintain the sensation of everyday life when experiencing the architecture, we use timber to build the main structure. On contrary toconcrete or steel, which is not likely to be altered or manufactured once thebuilding is finished, the grain and vein of timber varies along with the cycleof the nature, representing the essential quality of the material.

Ise Grand Shrine, one of the mostimportant Japanese religious site, is rebuilt every 20 years as a part of theShinto belief of the death and renewal of nature.This process(known as Shikinen Sengu)represents an important idea of the Japanese culture that eternityand monumentality in architecture lies not in the pursue of immortality of thematerial, but in a rather spiritual way which concerns about replaceability andsustainability.

Beyond Same Surface | Yu-Te Chiang |

Design Process

Variability - characteristic of tectonic Sustainability Furthermore, if the timber structure could be modularized, it would be muchmore easier to fabricate, assemble and dismantle the building. Different waysof assembling would fits different ways of program.People tend to regard architecture as a tool which will preventthem from being injured by nature. As the climate change goes more violent and the extremeweather happens more often, architecture shall not only be a shelter preventingpeople from the nature. On the contrary, since nature disaster is inevitable,we tend to focus on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;rehabilitationâ&#x20AC;? of the architecture in the aftermath.Architecture, like human being, may go through the same process of repair,restoration and reconstruction to be brought back to health, just like Japanesepeople always go to spa to regain their health.

| Yu-Te Chiang | Architecture Design

Disaster - Durable

The Architectures are not stand against the nature, but design in human sense and thought, such as a tree in the landscape.

We re-thinking the relationship between human and nature shouldnever be resistance, the architecture should designed in “all” according to thelandscape. Considering the element ”engawa” in Japanese traditional architecture,as a transitional space between nature and architecture, public and privatespace, to create a gradient “in-between” space. Facing the devastation and catastrophe bring by the nature,is to elutriate the worth meaning things instead of persuading total preserving.

Beyond Same Surface | Yu-Te Chiang |

Nature & Environment

Toward Nature We create a smooth slope down to the underground, and makea shift between the nature plan with building plan, to obstruct the sightseeingbetween the public space and private space. Combining with landscape, we create a spa space to fulfillthe different space needs from the community and public using to specificmedical treatment.

When raining comes with monsoon season every summers, thelow-lying space will turn into flood detention space. In a sudden that torrentialrain cease and the floods yet recede, a peaceful scene revealed with thebuilding and the nature appeal in a harmonious way as the symbol of ourattitude toward the life and landsccape.

Forest Spa Pavilion 2015 National Chiaotung University GIA Spring Studio To respond to the site, Campus of NCTU, I try to set up a bathing pavilion, which located in the bottom of the forest. During surveying and observing of the open space activity in NCTU, I found that although there is not quite less open green space in campus, but student all tend to set up the activities at indoor rather then outdoor. Second, student in NCTU love to excercising and playing sporting games, NCTU and NCHU also had a traditional long battle history of the athletic games. But in the campus, except for the gym and apartment building, the bathing and showering space is very rare in campus. Third, due to high percentage of the the sloping area, most of the students commute to school by motorbike or scooter, only very few choose bike.

Setting up a new landscape in concrete-dominated campus, this pavilion mostly made by woods and wires, build up a more eco-friendly statue. For a further goal, I not only want to supply more showering rooms but change the habbit of daily commuting. Also, putting in a new point in the field, I want to overturn peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point of view toward open space and grassland. By showing one of the diverse possibilities, hope to elevating the potential and imagination of open space usage. Thirdly, this pavilion open a new way toward nature for people living in urban area .

Shào Xīng community locate at the center of the taipei city, base on the original university's staff dormitory in japanese residents style. During the urbanization period of Taiwan, some self-built resident has been built up around the original dormitory. Because of the savety concern and urban re-development pressure, the university authority have some new plan about this area. Before the temporary housing site to be confrim, I try to offer some low-cost and self-build installations to improve the daily demand in this community.

Proposal 3-1. Reflacting lamp

Rather to add more street light or relocate the position of the existing lights, I design a reflaction lamp. By adding this equipment to the LED street light, it will broaden the coverage of each street light, providing smooth lighting quality. The shape of the lamp comes from the uniform hat of city cleaner, which could be found in the community.

Proposal 3-2. Corner wall painting

Leaving main lane and street, lighting quality become unstable and blur, bumpy pavement also makes night walking more dangerous and risky. I suggest to use some empty house's out wall, painting on some colorful pattern and shape, to promote the awareness of the bumpy and dark area in the community.

1 Historic Layers and Site

As a tribute to mark the ascension of the Japanese Emperor Hirohito in 1928, the Japanese government in Taiwan dismantled the Qing Dynasty government office in Taipei and began the plan to erect the former Taipei City Hall.

surrendering Japanese commander was Ando Rikichi, Japanese Governor of Taiwan. The former Taipei City Hall was renamed Zhongshan Hall in honor of Sun Yatsen and functioned as an official meeting place under the Chinese government.

The four-story steel structure of the building was designed to be fire-resistant and to withstand severe earthquakes and typhoons. The original building was faced in light green tile to make it less visible to aerial bombers. The windows are adorned with classical designs in a Spanish Islamic style. With 44,179 square feet (4,104.4 m2) for the ground floor, the total area of the Taipei City Hall was 113,750 square feet (10,568 m2), making it the fourth largest city hall in Japan at that time. It was smaller than only the City Halls of Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya.

Zhongshan Hall has always been one of the formal reception areas for welcoming foreign guests and diplomats. Former guests have included US President Richard Nixon, Korean President Syngman Rhee, President of South Vietnam Ngo Dinh Diem, Philippine President Carlos P.

4 Desing Strategy

In order to solve these current issues in Zhongshan Hall plaza, we suggest to bring a curvy structure in to the east edge of the plaza. With re-organizing and cleaning the boundary, and connectting each program needs in eachcorner of the plaza. Despite of the functional concerns, by controling the hieght of each stage of pavement, along with the effect of vision that curvy form of the new structure deploying, enhancing the dramatic tension of space, when visitor stepping on platform and entering plaza, who will recieve a panarama view of Zhongshan Hall. The New structure also provide united open space under series of arches, which allow multi-space arrangement during weekday and weekend. 8 Current Plaza Plan 9 New Structure Proposal 10 New Structure Section (Detial) 11 New Structure Section

ho-Jin Area was where the Niao sung and Fung-Tou-Bi civilizations setteled during Neolithic Age. After That, General Cheng, who represented Ming Dynasty of China regime in 15th century, occupired this area as milatary camping and argricuture field. With protection of Ban-Ping mountain at the south and Ho-Jin river at the east, this area has been asigned as an artificial wetland. Now the west area was designed to be a natural park. 1913 1946 1987 Establishment of HoOil Refinery Chemical Factory jin Pumping station 1940 Japan Navy oil storage

1969 Manufactor Area

The Facilities now existing in the finery factory area, are the medium of historic memories of this area. The history of communities protest actions was the most special part of culture context. By analysis the spacial characteristic and building typology we try to re-use those factory and storage space and transform into new type of use.

As a curator of the exhibition part in 18th NTU artfest. i tried to invite most creative club in campus, and also tried to put the charecteristic of the nearby communities life style in. Two main subjects of the exhibition are about "slowly" - represent life's steps and atmosphere of neighbor area, and "spread" - as the influence and the relationship between the campus and the city , the dialogue between the resident and students.

Entrance Design

The exhibition room locate at the corner of sudent activity center, as a mix-used building at the center of the campus and always crowded with student in the breaktime. We take this as an advantege, re-build the facade and set up a series of arcade to cath the attention of people walk or ride by.

Spreading Slowly | Yu-Te Chiang |

The first place of the graphic arts represent the cafeteria inner in one point perspective. We use it to wrap up building facade to dismiss the wall expression.

Outside the entrance of the exhibition room, we build up a arcade as a extended gateway in a circuitous way , connect the inner space and the outer space.

Interior Design

Correspond to the subject "slowly" and "spread", our first idea is to put our route into a meandering and circuitous way, also respond to the street and lane scale nearby campus. The exhibition room seperate into 2 part. Start with a narrow path, demonstrate a series of snap-shot photographs, and end up at the corner view by a tree, with a platform surrunded by, offer a upper stage and a overlook viewpoint toward the second part of room.

The tree, represent the "nature" icon of the neighbor area. Not only as a decoration, we use its branches to hang up photograpghs of the street view, continue the photo series. At the left hand side is a video room, display the multimedia art works.

Spreading Slowly | Yu-Te Chiang |

the second part of the exhibition use the "culture" icon - the steps of the life style - "slow", come along with the different perspective of living landcscape. "S" build up by several bookshelves, we select piles of books which relate to two sujects of the exhibition, demonstate all the literature works.

"O" offer all visitors an underneath perspective, to look down the ground. Cover with 9 pieces of glass, few 3D chinese charecter collocated with some obeject, as "keywords" of the exhibition.

"L" made up by 2 walls, present the material texture of bricks, which relate to the old architecture materials of the campus and the neighborhood.

"W" presented by a table form, can easily moved by visitors to others area in the room.

Social Inoovation Forum | Yu-Te Chiang |

1 Concept

My design come up with 3 main idea. First, this forum as a begining of whole ENSIT project, had a kind of "pledge" meaning.Secondly, this project involve 3 characters, member schools , social inoovation mentors and local socail innovation group. At the last is the limited of the space.

2 Exhibition Static activities include 3 kinds of posters' exhibition. I tried to seperate them from each other, while remain the connection and interaction between each of them. To deal with the lighting demand and posters displaying, I consider the possibility of hanging system.

3 Design So, to broke the stable square courtyard, I used some oblique lines to split the square into 3 triangle areas, each belongs to 3 characters of the forum, member schools , social inoovation mentors and local socail innovation group. After set up the posters aline with the oblique lines, I tried to let some extra lighting "floating" at the top of the posters area, keep visitors attention focus on the exhibition space rather than the original decoration of the building hanging under the roof (as a icon of chemic department).

Opening ceremony

Using the icon of ENSIT project - "Dialogue Tree" and the meaning of "root down" - "conversation", Idesign a installation with some blank frame on the branches, for each school principle to hang up their school name board, as a symbol of "join" to this project platform.At the detial decoration, we use some Taiwan local icon and material to represent the local industry and characteristics.
