WHAT IS

modern luxury

Emblems of success have changed over time. Historically, ornate and precious materials symbolized opulence and wealth. Extravagance portrayed status. Jade, gold and diamonds remain symbols of timeless luxury but the glamour of new luxury rests in flawless technology and precise engineering. THE NEW LUXURY OF TODAY IS RESTRAINED, SIMPLE AND ELEGANT.

his is my first building I done, which is Wen-Shin reception center. The project was commissioned by Highyes commercial company, which is a real broker company. So the function of the building is selling the future housing for customers and showing 4 the sample of interior space for visitors. So it would provide a service requirement area, hospitality lounge, counseling area, administrative area, and exhibition area. So the first step, I placed those spatial requirements in the different floors. 1 The first floor2 is service area. There are valet parking, Staff Parking, and architectural equipment rooms, which include air conditioning and elevator equipments. The second floor has a hospitality lounge, counseling area, and administrative area. The third floor has exhibition which are the sample The drafts ofthree planes andareas, section rooms for displaying three types of units in the interior space of the future housing.

lthough the site is located in a natural environment, it actually is a manmade plat plane by removing the trees and cutting the earth. In other words, it is fiercely separated from the environmental, historical, and functional context. Therefore, we try to create a new relationship between the human and the nature. We also break away from regular monument impression and redefine the significant of natural and historical Alisan mountain, which is the geometry of coniferous tree, native symbol and mountain railroad culture. The new monument trusses not only integrate the nature environment, but also create the new public space for visitors and residents. The project successfully represents a new prototype memorial and commutation 㭺ⴱ嶈䦗 with nature and artificiality. It could be a new landmark and impression in Alishan National Scenic Area.

集材機與集材柱→運作於民國初年至民國四十年間

蔣公銅像是在民國71年，由已故前立委曾振農捐助興建。

早期鄒族文化脈絡

日據明治29年（1896年），陸軍中尉長野義虎自玉里越玉山過阿里山時，首先發現其地有大片密林。

B’

1945年，台灣光復，日人伐木工作才結束，但是阿里山大森林的珍貴林木紅檜、扁柏等幾乎已被砍伐殆盡。

沼平車站1914年設站,成為當時木材集中運送下山的集散地。

原生林木與原住民文化時期 1717 展示型態意象: 利用葉脈圖騰記念森林結構重新引領遊客進入早期阿里山原始森林氛圍。

台灣割讓與林業探勘 1896 展示型態意象: 延續葉脈結構群林木象徵, 以及新地景路徑, 使遊客能體會早期林業探勘的精神。

日據時期與林業開採 1914 展示型態意象: 沼平車站於1914年建站並成為早期木材集中地, 而集材機和集材柱屬於同一時期集中木材之用, 故設計將三者利用新歷史廊道串連,遊客在沼平車站下車後,透過未來規劃動線穿過鐵軌走進此區歷史路徑,重新感受林業開採的過程。

㭺ⴱ‪◐

= <

光復時期與國家公園規劃1946 展示型態意象: 將現有蔣公銅像定義為光復時期象徵, 透過地景坡道, 遊客緩緩走上平台, 從不同角度觀看銅像和後方葉脈結構群, 進而在此廣場休憩, 這破除早期記念銅像給人難以親近的感受, 也將現有銅像重新詮釋與結合新設計。

設計獨特的歷史廊道,訴說阿里山先人開墾的過往歷史並整合基地內的蔣公銅像與集材機,運用地面光帶將集材柱連接在一起,形成一整體設計,並配合轉化原住民圖騰與針葉林葉脈的紀念性結構,成為阿里山新印象

近年國家公園努力成果與未來展望 2011 展示型態意象: 敞的斜坡不僅連結起地景平台和通往葉脈結構廊道,也規劃接續基地後方的行人步驗,也表現出紀念空間不光只是單方面人緬懷和尊重過去,也透過全方位的觀看讓遊客在步行中了解過去和思考未來林業發展。

構思一種融合原住民圖騰與背後針葉林的葉脈紋理結構置入於基地之中成為一親人的紀念場所並連接原本分散在基地的集材柱與銅像成為一整體的印象運用空間的感染力去成為一個與自然環境融合而不衝突的和諧設計

Emergence - New Memorial for the Alishan Forestry

Basic triangular Institution

When Architecture Meets Metaphor In this competition, the most critical challenge is to develop a new memorial prototype by melding architectural language with metaphysical elements. The design process consists of tons of drawings, tests, and intense dialectics between the ideas of the metaphysics and the concrete science; the product means to invoke people’s memories of the forestry and of the mountain Alishan in Taiwan.

C+u house TAIPEI, TAIWAN intelligent green building design competition, 2011 masterpiece award (the 4th among 204 teams worldwide)

iven that the house prices reach to an unaffordable level in the metropolises, owning a house is really a distant dream for fresh graduates or young couples. Another phenomenon we observed is that there are a lot of unused spaces in the cities, for example the space beneath the viaducts. Therefore, for solving both problems, we design a special unit house which can be flexibly placed in the wasted places in the city. We believe that the fresh living style, accompanied with the computer- based high technology equipment will offer a perfect solution to the problems as mentioned.

lexible space, considering the space is for two people, so the zoning function is focus on simpler, and they are keen on mountain climbing, so hope their space can be large and transparent, decrease some compartment and create autonomous, furthermore, climbers prefer a large space for living, so the design principle is the whole space can be flexible to integrate, except restroom need appropriate partition. House of small space is not often enough to use for owner, especially for hospitable people, they hope their friends can always visit their house, and get together, but how to expand the existing space ? First, decrease some compartment and create autonomous space. Second, space condition changed. In this case, the cabinet, bed and bureau are suspended by the extension of ceiling, this way can reduce the â&#x20AC;&#x153;static loadâ&#x20AC;? of mezzanine, and the mezzanine is designed to movable type by using the outdoor track, therefore, when their friends come to visit, the mezzanine can be extended to outdoor, and the space will become 2 times bigger, the furniture can be suspended on the ceiling, and also secure the personal stuff.

space banks and utilize become them to filter the the family and owadays the areas of both industrial sewage in the city. After filtering, the sewage would be drained into the river. fringes in the city. It is dramatically different from former circumstance that the banks are the main parts of the urban development. The water system turns into the boundary and the limitation of the urban development. In addition, because the principal part of the urban planning is the traffic system, the aspect of the city begins to change gradually and appears an unreasonable phenomenon the banks. In this situation the purpose of this design is to analyze the phenomenon. At the same time, it also can provide the possibility and worth of the watercourse The filter ditch To plant Typha in the ditches of the community can become the first step of the rain waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s system in the urban development. There are four main topics filtration. to be discussed. They are (1) the role that water resource system plays in the city and its changing, (2) the existing circumstances of on the banks and the development, (3) the communication and the connection between the cities and the banks, and (4) the imagination of the relationship between the future watercourse system and the urban development.

I apply a new method of the construction of the city to a practical site. The site is a part of Sanchong City and presents the city's problems in microcosm. It includes the problems such as the high density of residence, lack of sewer drainage system, and a forest of the family factories. After applying a new mode of the construct system I propose

Establishing the Watercourse System

The Swap Area of the Urban Mechanism

In order to increase the space of the approachable waterfront, the arrangement is to demolish the dikes. It can ease the flow and make a mutual relationship between the water and city by the hydraulic structure. The simulation by the hydraulic structure can imitate and construct a new watercourse in the city.

In order to resolve the problem of the population density in the city the method is that demolishes parts of the original structure and moves the original quantity of the residences into the new buildings. It could relieve the stress upon the urban space and create a new public space.
