Motivation Letter Summary for Master in Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences
With this letter, I am applying a position in the MSc Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences program, offered at Delft University of Technology. In the Complex Projects studio of Architecture track, I expect to research complicated territories and to develop various methods of analysis and survey to judge which facts of the territories are critical to architectural design in order to establish profound and comprehensive insights into sites, and then to reflect the understandings about sites on design process and result. Parallel to these aspirations, I realized that, from my previous professional experience, the pressing need to advance sustainable knowledge and design methods, which are the vital issues of contemporary architectural revolution, in an appropriately and creatively attitude. In my latest practical project, named “The Modular Skies�, I was confronted by a primary task to ensure that the estimated cost of my designs could be controlled under the budget. Eventually, the task was concluded with the idea of modular structure of angle steel truss because of effective structural behavior and disassembly of units in favor of production and transportation. However, there are several sustainable issues which could have been further discussed. For examples, some schools will be abolished someday because of a decreasing number of students. Or from another aspect, rainwater collected by the roof could have been treated in a sustainable way. Any projects could constitute an innovative solution to reflect the issues of their society and era. For the purpose, I want to get trained
at TU delft to embody these kinds of ideas with practical techniques. As to the hypothetical thesis project, it will be related to my interest in observing activities of human and analyzing their patterns. I might observe and analyze the living situations of people who work in a crowded city and rent rooms as their homes, and then renew abandoned and vacant spaces for a new type of architecture which is mobile and elastic for them. In conclusion, with a strong interest in human activities and sustainable quality carried out in architecture projects, I found that the course subjects offered in the program match my goal for next level. Furthermore, my professional experience will be a good support to practically extend academic thinking and make me a valuable addition to the MSc program. Thank you in advance for considering my application.

The Modular Skies
--- Rain-Shelter Court of Wanfu Elementary School & Rain-Shelter Court of Youngle Elementary School INTRODUCTION : The designs of two rain-shelter courts both have clear structural logic to achieve successful result of construction under unfavorable conditions of far sites and low construction budgets. The structural compositions also indicate the disposition of landscape of sites. In the stage of development, schemes were tried to test the possibilities of this architectural type and some even approached its potential as a device contributing to sustainable urban issues.

/PROJECT GOAL I-IV : FROM CONSTRUCTION ASPECT/
PROJECT CONTENTS This project aimed to provide rain-shelter courts where elementary school students can exercise and play freely despite the fact that there are averagely 210 rainy days per year in Yilan county.
Production in factories
Convenient transportation
Simple rule of assembly
Lightweight structure
Rainy days / Rain-free days in 2016 Jan
ISSUES
Jul Dec
There were circumstances to consider : (1) Yilan government offered fixed 10 million NT dollars of construction budget cost. (2) The site was remote and hence the construction was difficult to execute. The worst situation was expected to have no company willing to construct. (3) Under condition 1 and 2, the design schemes were supposed to facilitate the quality and efficiency of construction.
/PRIMARY CONCEPT I & II : TECTONIC SYSTEM/ Modular structure
Steel truss
---It units duced to do
---It makes the whole structure lighter physically and visaully
is able to be dismantled into repetitive, simple which are easy to transport and able to be promostly in factories in order to avoid a chance welding on sites.

/STRUCTURAL SCHEMES/
Scenery of mountain (Youngle)
---The different spacing of column arrangement suggests the entrance and orientation based on circumstances of sites. ---Where columns arranged sparsely allow adults to access, while the spacing of columns can also reduce in order to allow only children to pass or to obstruct the movement of passing through but not the view. ---Beams connect corresponding columns to shape ceiling pattern which gives the space characteristics.

/FURTHER ARCHITECTURAL THINKING : SCHOOL CAMPUS AS URBAN OASIS /ISSUES/ In the stage of developing designs, one scheme simultaneously proposed a solution, additional to clients’ requirements, to important societal and environmental issues. Cities keep increasing and rapidly expanding while the natural environment is losing its balance. More extreme climate changes and severe natural disasters occur. Meanwhile, Shortage of resources is not yet supplied with sustainable resources. People also met multiple problems when the young-elders ratio shifted. In the future, it’s expected that decommissioned schools will increase because the number of students is falling. So, new duty and functions could be included by schools and new constructed rain shelters for their sustainable and consistent operation. 77

/THE NEW DUTY AND FUNCTIONS OF SCHOOLS AND RAIN-SHELTER COURTS/ School campus as “URBAN OASIS” Asylums in emergency --- When earthquakes and flood strike, the large open space and facilities in the school provide a temporary asylum supplied with food from the school garden and with water and electricity collected or generated from the rain-shelter court.
Reuse, storage and generation of resources --- The space of rain-shelter court’s foundation stores rainwater collected by its roof and used when flushing the toilet or irrigating land. The roof consists in solar panels, providing electricity.
Sustainable materials and reversible construction --- The life of rain-shelter court corresponds the duration of the commission as a school facility. Once it is out of use, it will be dismantled to make the land of site return to previous natural state.
Shift of building usage and building life extended --- If the buildings are judged usable, they will be transformed into a facility of communities or elders to maintain the operation of the campus as an asylums and “urban oasis”.

The Mix-Cultural Community
--- The Dormitory for foreign ďŹ shermen INTRODUCTION : Based on practical surveys, a dormitory for foreign fishermen was designed to respond to critical issues existing in a typical fishery industrial town of Taiwan. This project focused on dealing with interaction between fishermen themselves or them and natives by the design of relation between private and public spaces, or between separate floors belonging to different groups.
Graduation Thesis project / 2010-11 / Personal Advisor / Prof. Maw-Chang Yen email / archyen@hotmail.com Location / Pingtung, Taiwan

ISSUES (1) Transformation of social structure in fishery industrial towns of Taiwan : Falling population of native young fishermen. It results from radical increase of higher education possibilities, evolution of social rank of jobs and falling population in Taiwan. Consequently, it gadually became common to hire foreign fishermen to help improving unadequate number of employees.
(2) The foreign fishermen are relatively isolated and hardly get exact help. they are not proficient of second language and even their daily lives are administered by employers. Most relevantly the public know less about them.
(3) The foreign fishermen are not offered any place to stay except ships so that they gather under the overhangs of empty houses or occupy imperceptible corners and empty lots where hence become avoided by others.
/PROJECT GOAL/

The Perceptual Crematorium INTRODUCTION : The idea that a continuous slow walk gives sad people a soothing process to collect their thoughts became inspiration of this project. As moving on the artificial topography shaped by the amplified ramp, people realize that the architectural elements create a scene to evoke memories and perception of existence, and then start to recover from the loss of loved one.

The Perceptual Crematorium raises perception of existence. While human beings touch, see, hear, smell and walk through it, the architecture responds by the texture, temperature of materials, the slow lead of ramp and visual rhythm......So we think about life, treasure it and immerse ourselves in memories.

The ramp plays an important role to link every step of funeral rites. When people slowly move in the amplified ramp, it causes them to spend longer time to complete the route with an emotional shift.

The Stone-Jumping Cube The gravel ground of a chosen existing space has a quality of uneven texture. It causes a phenomenon that patterns of movement of a ball jumping on this ground are decided by the arrangement of gravel. In this project, this quality was translated into a complete design.

/DESIGN STATEMENT/
STUDY MODELS NOTATION OF GROUND TEXTURE
THE EXISTING SPACE Pattern of the movement of a ball jumping on the gravel ground
This project aims to find a method to transform a particular quality of an existing space into a new design and definition of its site. I notated the irregular texture of a gravel ground by tracing the movement of a ball jumping on it. The pattern of the result then was transformed into the site which is an isolated stone island and into a cube showing the rhythm of stones.
