Manuel SolĂ Morales Morales is one of the most i mp or ta nt a rch i te ct i n Ca ta l a n u r b a n d e s i g n h i s t o r y. H e e s t a b l i s h e d t h e L a b o ra t o ri d e Urbanisme (LUB) , where a gener tion of architects were b ei n g t ra i n e d, a n d d eve l o p e d the idea of "urban acupunture". He argued that to plan the city, it is necessary to investigate its constitutive principles through a morphological analysis conducted by seperate parts, with particular attention to architectural typologies. He considered, especially in his b a c kg ro u n d , w h e n B a rc e l o n a t r i e d t o re c o v e r f ro m t h e 4 0 year dictatorship, urban design is a matter for architects. And it was at that time Barcelona has established lots of urban projects in small scale, within very limited budget, but eventually changed the whole city.

Inspiration: Invisible Monumentality City is structured by layers after l aye rs. D u ri n g t h e s t ru ct u ri n g, some part of the layers can be destroyed, and this is highly related to what we want to preser ved; or, what we should remember, what the architects, government want the people to remember. Who remembers? What to remember?

Zone A+B Zero existing house destroyed+ Social housing +Park

We took the park and the residential as a whole, tried to connect dwelling and public space through clearing the self built structure( but not house), and also connect them visually. In the proposal, none of the existing house was destroyed.

Studio: New Representation, New Conceptions Tutor: Hector Mendoza, Mara Partida Year: 2016 Site: None Type: Research/ Structural Installation

Pao by Ito Toyo This course began with a research on a selected subject, t h e Pa o by I t o Toyo, a s a re f l e c t i o n a n d a d i s c o u r s e t o modern society. In the late 20C, To k y o w a s t h e m o s t d e n s e l y populated cit y in the planet earth, and dued to the enormous consumption, commercial became decentralized. Perhaps there is no need for a fixe d h o u s e, i f t h e fu n c t io n i s o n l y f o r s l e e p i n g, a n d o t h e r s activities could be done outside the "house".

Space as Measurement A f t e r t h e r e s e a r c h o f t h e Pa o installation and the following work, a question was raised "How can we measure our minimum livable space?" A series of solution were proposed. And in the end, what can the way of measurement bring us? Can it represent the phenomenom o f l o c a l Ta i w a n e s e r e s i d e n t i a l extension? Can it become a metaphor for the struggling of living in a super-dense metropolitan city? In the end, a structure was proposed, a structure to measure, a structure as a metaphor; also acts as a space, an installation.

Research Framework

This master thesis consists of b o t h t h e o re t ic a l a n d p ra ct ic a l parts. The former researches the p o l i t i c a l re p re s s i o n c a s e s , a s well as meaning and intention o f m o n u m e n t ; wh i l e t h e l a t t e r one is an exercise on adapting the theory to transform the Presรณ M o d e l d e B a rc e l o n a. Th ro u g h a series of demolitions and the concomitants, the previous symbol of repression will not only become a place of commemorate; moreover, a symbol of Catalan people's collective will, intection, and manifesto for their long awaited dawn- the independence. The Presรณ Model de Barcelona is destinated to be closed in the year of 2017. However, except of being known as the oldest prison in Catalunya, the prison has also been a symbol of political repression of Catalan people.

Situated closely to Sant Estaciรณ, the Catalan capital's largest transpor tation hub, Presรณ Model has become a mysterious burden. Without any connection with the existing context, nor can it represent a feasible public facilit y in such an busy a re a. B u t s o m e h ow i t h a s a ch a n c e t o become a desirable public building due to it's location and dimension. The program of the proposal should be decided to meet the public interest, serve for both metropolitan program and beneficial for the residentialoriented la Nova Esquerra de l'Exiample.

None of us, possess a kind of "fíat" by which we can say, ‘Let bygones be bygones’ and, hey presto, they then become bygones. Our common experience in fact is the opposite—that the past, far from disappearing or lying down and being quiet, has an embarrassing and persistent way of returning and haunting us unless it has in fact been dealt with adequately. Unless we look the beast in the eye we find it has an uncanny habit of returning to hold us hostage. [10]” - D es m on d Tutu, Wi n n er in 1 984

INTRODUCTION This project is based on the bussiness study of mass culture and sub culture. A s t h e sy m b o l o f te e n a g e r s u b c u l t u re , independant shops in Xi-Men is facing high house rent, and inevitably moving away. Nowadays, more and more chain stores are coming and killing the original business in XiMen. This project aim to bring back sub culture by utilizing "Sub Spaces", which is the special identity in the urban context , and recreate t h e s h o p p i n g ex p e r i e n c e i n s u b c u l t u re business area.

DIALOGUE BETWEEN SUB AND MASS CULTURE Thesis project / Individual / Commercial architecture

NOTE This project is dedicated to Travis, who owns one of the oldest and most famous vintage store in Xi-Men. His shop moved away from Xi-Men few years ago, due to the rising house rent.

CULTURE MURDER

文化扼殺 Our city changes fast, way faster than we think. However, there is always victims for it. Culture can be killed by gentrification, urbanization, and globalization. And our city is facing the lost of local culture. The next project, which is also my thesis design, based on a fact that sub culture is dying, and needed to be rescued.

H I S TO R Y o f X I - M E N - FROM CINEMA to SUB CULTURE HEAVEN

Late 19 Centry Japanes ruled Era

Mid 20 century Taiwanese government period

Xi-men began to proper due to movie industry. Cinema such as Taihokuzaă&#x20AC; Eizaă&#x20AC; andRed House Theater were one o f o l d e s t c i n e m a s i n Ta i w a n . I s w a s nicknamed by the Japanese as " Shibuya of Taiwan "

The movie industry and business continued to grow. After the built of Chung-Hua market, Xi-men has became the symbol of commercial and teenage fashion.

Cinema in Xi-men, late 19c

Late 20 century Re-form period The importance of Xi-men has declined in the 1980s, due to the rising business area " District East ". In 1998, the government started several program to improve Ximen, such as the subway system and the first car-free shopping district in Taiwan.

Prosperity in XiMen, Mid 20c

ISSUE - DEATH of SUB CULTURE

2015 36.5k per 3.3m 2

However, as globalization goes, chain business brings cheap fashion; but also kills the original culture.During the past 10 years, the rising house rent,urban renewal policy makes independent shop owners leave. It destroys the culture diversity in teenage group. Nowadays, independent shops are only for insiders who are familiar with Ximen for several years.

2014 27k per 3.3m 2

SUB SPACE / INDEPENDENT SHOP Independent shops in Xi-Men usually exist in sub space. Which are not easy to access to.

SHOPPING EXPERIENCE / A RITUAL FROM OUTSIDER TO INSIDER Shopping experience in independent shops is like a ritual- from outsider to insider. Being cheated at first, then getting familiar with the shops, and finally become an insider in Xi-Men.Different from mass culture, independent shoppers are being "selected". Shopkeepers select insiders who can get the best collection, as well as cheating outsider who just accidentally jump in the shop.

Shop Keepers

Insiders

Outsiders

Business culture in Ximen is like social class. Familiar customers get the best service, while outsider is easy to be cheated. Shopkeepers select who to sell their best collection.

SITE STREET OF AMERICAN This street is the spirit of sub culture in Xi-Men, also the shopping experience can be observed here: 1.Shopkeepers squat front door area to look for potential customers, and select,examine them. 2.Shopkeepers often gather in blank void space during their break. Exchanging goods privately,sharing the latest business news. This is the trading place for sub-culture collectors.

The original building on the site is a 11 floor business building, used to be a famous theater. However, it's facing urban renewal and is scheduled to be torn down by 2020. This project proposes a reconstruction plan for sub culture/ Independent stores to flourish by re-creating the shopping experience. 38

SPATIAL APPROACH

Step 1:

Step 2:

Step 3:

Step 4:

Step 5:

Utilizing the original structure system as main structure for main space

Separates sub space and main space volume, and creates interface between them.

Creats sub space volumes by adding sub structure onto the main structure. The route in sub space are complicated, easy to get lost. Same as the context of Xi-men, there are blank spaces for shopkeepers to gather

Creats main spaces. Including plaza, and different types of program to attract people. There are still some secret spaces in the main space area.

Creates long escalators as the path of " R i t u a l " . S h o p ke e p e r s c a n s e l e c t shoppers transported by the escalators

MODELING

MODELING APPROACH This project challenged the role of modeling, claimed that physical models are not only for presenting the final design ,but much more a study progress. Sketching on the model snapshots to add design ideas, and study between physical models and drawing, blurring the boundry of these two media. Secondly, the progress of creating these models are like collecting my own past momories in the original Xi-Men context, reconstruct several separate experience as a collage of my own impression of Xi-Men.

PROGRAMMING In order to reflect the issue of the invation of mass culture and chain store, several "dying industry" are hosted in this project. On the other hand, thesis project is also a reflection of one's own architecture thought, a n d a co nta i n e r o f o n e ' s o w n m e m o r i e s a n d experience. For me, it indicates those took place in independant shops , which can not be re-find but should be momorized.

INTRODUCTION This project is a research about the relationship between nature environment and industry in Luzou industry distrct. Paradoxically, Luzou produced the largest a m o u n t o f c ro p d u r i n g t h e 2 0 c e n t u r y ; however, has transformed to an industry area due to lost of land productivity. Nowadays, factories are moving away due to the rising land price. In addition, several policies have shown that government are decided to make the district a better living area. Base on the history and the fact that factories are moving away, this project assumes a reverse progress- the "revival of green", aimed to bring back productivity and green belt.

DIALOGUE BETWEEN NATURE AND INDUSTRY Academic / Individual / Part 1 : Urban analysis Part 2 : Graphic comic

NOTE Architecture is not only about design, but pretty much a way of communication.This project includes a graphic comic about a "Green Fantasy", to show the original idea to bring back the green belt.

GREEN REVIVAL

綠色復辟 I n t h e a c i e nt C h i n e s e b e l i ev i n g , the rule of the universe ,as well as our environment is a cycle that is repeatable. The following project is a research a n d a n a l y s i s o n h o w g re e n b e l t would come back after industy transformed. A graphic comic is also include to support the idea of green revival.

INDUSTRY TRANSITION

ZONING OF LUZUO

Luzou produced the largest amount of crop during the 20 century. However, due to the convenience brought by several different transportation, Luzou has grown to one of the most important satellite industrial city of Taipei. During the past few decade, because of the rising land price and government policies, it's facing industry transition, and the factories are moving away for better living quality.

Area A. Power Plant is situated by Hsu-Huei high schoo. Government decided to tear down the power plant in 5 years. The land will be used as residential purpose.

Taipei city Site Important road Highway MRT

School Power plant

Area B. Pure industry area for machine and steel plants. Due to the rising land price, some factories are abanboned. A river side walk is schedule to be built to enhance the living quality.

Area C. Separated by the power plant, lack of connection.Most of the factory are small subcontracing factories.Some families use their living room as factories.

The house rent is rising due to due to the improvement of living quality. Factories are forced to move away. According to the rent diagram, factories are estimated to move southwardly.

REVERSE THE GREEN BELT ? The time that green belt occupied Luzuo overwhelm that of industrialization. Helped by the policy for better living quality and industry transition, could the green belt be re-find? 46

The main idea is to resmelter the construction material (most are steel) o f a b a n d o n fa c t o r i e s , and utilize the material to rebuild different architecture programs and installation that helped to bring the green belt and productivity back. Also a demonstration site is shown as a typical example

Power plant would be teared down, and bring in social housing for attracting people to move in.

A b a n d o n e d fa c to r i e s i n e a ste r n a re a c wo u l d b e demolished, and sent to the factories in the southern part of the site to be re-smeltered, and become the material for new facility with agriculture productivity.

The large factories in east side of area B will be abandoned / teared down, and repeat the same pattern of phase 2.

In an ordinary city landscape, it's hard to separate public and private space. Slope landscape are used to define the boundary of public and private, and create an unique form for a former industrial area.

C:Make connection between two area which are separated by the power plant previously. D:Using the form of factory to create green landscape. Except from being the identity if this area, the landscape could act as buffer zone to separate public, semi-public, and private program.

CHAPTER 1 GREEN FANTASY

She likes leaning beside the window, watching outside

Do you know why there is so much smoke? I can't see my scenary

How about go take a look?

Here we are ! It's seems like a factory or something? It so dark here, can you turn the light on ?

I get it !

Thanks for the ride. Do you want to hear a secret? I had a strange dream last night. It was a story about an old man

However, some small black sapling broke from the ground one day. And the original tree begin to die.

He lives in a forest near a small town. The old man wants his forest back. He collect the last few seeds of the original trees, and plant them carefully. Few years ago, the situation changed. Green tree were back, and the black tree disappeared. . .

L et ' s pl ant s o m e s e ed her e ! Maybe it will become ano t her fo r est !

CHAPTER 2 FANTASY,REALITY Hello, mom. It's been a while ... I'll be at home in thirty minute. I want to hang around near the neighbor.

Dear ! Welcome home !

Mm, no matter what, let's have the dinner!

It's been a while ! Our town have changed since you left. Remember the old factories you used to played around ? They were pretty much abandoned...

What's the voice ?

Mm...perhaps it's raining outside ?

INTRODUCTION This project began with a simple question: “Do we still need physical books in the digital era?” In the digital age, people rely on the Internet rather than physical document due to convenience. This phenomenon make the archive less important in a campus. This project aimed to transfer the original archive to a place to spread knowledge, rather than just storage knowledge.

DIALOGUE BETWEEN FORM AND ACTIVITIES Academic / Individual / Archive architecture

MAMBO DANCE UNDER BRIDGE

寶島曼波 How people utilize space can show their characteristic. Under bridge space can avoid the hot wheather, and provide a leisure space in the crowded city. In the following project, I would like to discuss the relationship between activity and form, hoping to reflect the identity of Taiwanese people.

SITE AND ORIGINAL ARCHIVE

Cantine

Site

The original archive is situated in a rather remote area ( Shui-Yuan), in the edge of NTU campus. Since it’s far from the main campus of NTU, it’s hard for people to visit the archive.
