Project 1 Boundary Chapter 1 The Moss Garden This project challenges the meaning of boundary through allowing interpenetration of matters flows flows within indoor and outdoor. By extracting the humid air from indoor and feed into moss pod for moss growing, this project expects to open up the bartlett facade with the spatial intervention of moss garden. The clusterisation of the designed installation also allow the interaction of light, growth and water flow to happen. Chapter 2 The Living Garden In the second part, the project moved to New Orleans for participating the Descours Night time Installation events.

NEW ORLEANS DESCOURS LIVING GARDEN Location: New Orleans L.A. Artwork Center Rooftop Exhibition date: 3/12/2010-12/12/2010
L.A ArtWork Center
L.A. Artwork Center Studio for Living Garden
New Orleans Descours is a nighttime installation events organized by AIA annually. Thousand of works submissions were claimed in the Descours Website. The selected project would have 4000USD budget for the work. The location would be assigned by Melissa Urcan, the organizer and curator based on the characteristic of the project. I was honourly being informed by Melissa my submission was selected as one of the 14 projects of the Descours events in New Orlean, however the time frame for producing the work and dealing with the visa was short. So I decided to commission it to Ming-Li Chang, a industrial designer who has cross-disciplinary knowledge about electronic and manufacturing, who also shares the authorship of this project. This project was not merely a challenge of timeframe, materiality and manufacturing process, but also the long distance, cross-continent collaboration that me and Ming-Li have not experienced in our previous career development. After Ming-Li arrived in New Orleans, we have only 6 days before exhibition start. Thank for the generousity of LA Artwork, a studio becomes our workshop base for the following 6 days.
Design Development Constellation of the structural clusters developed from the previous project Even we have a design before MingLi went to LA ARTWORK, however, since site and condition were not yet confirmed by descours part, modication was expected and mentally prepared to push this project into a site specific design. Once MingLi arrived in New Orlean, he updated how the condition was on the Rooftop by showing pictures and description, and then I constantly updating files, exchanging files and modifying files with him until the work becoming a pieces of Site specified and the event specified workpieces on the Rooftop regardless the time zone difference and time frame. Our aim for this pieces was to make people experience the Living Garden phenomenonly and Tectonicly.

Project 2 Topographical Language ( groupwork with Linda Hagberg)
Chapter 3 Exisitng Topographical Context and Spatial Exploration In the begining of this project, we were looking at “blocking� phenomenon on the site, the blocking of urban and the water, the ground and the underground. We studied the landscape principle from the chinese garden, and we found out the potential of symbiosis of these relative conditions is being appreciated in the chinese landscape, a topographical principle is carried out from the study. From the topographical intervention in the design process, some spatial pocket condition are formed. From there, we move on to study the patterning of the pocket. Chapter 4 Hydro Thermal Organ ( Landscape Resolution ) In this part, we move on to reform the landscape of the site which tolerant the underground heat and the river water. Steam is created through the intertwining of these environmental conditions. Chapter 5 Evolo Tower Competition ( Vertical Resolution ) In this part, a steamy tower that based its changing condition through the heat loading of the site and its social role in a metropolitan. This project had shortlisted as finalist of the competition.

Taipei as a Capital City of Taiwan Taipei City is the largest city of Taiwan and the capital of the Republic of China (commonly known as “Taiwan”). Situated at the tip of the island, Taipei is located on the Danshui River, and is about 25 km southwest of Keelung, its port on the Pacific Ocean. Another coastal city, Danshui, is about 20 km northwest at the river’s mouth on the Taiwan Strait. It lies in the two relatively narrow valleys of the Keelung and Xindian rivers, which join to form the Danshui River along the city’s western border.The city proper (Taipei City) is home to an estimated 2,606,151 people.Taipei City, Taipei County, and Keelung City together form the Taipei metropolitan area with a population of 6,776,264.

Topographical Principle in Chinese Garden Landscape Chinese Garden makes topographical change to allow more environmental flows flow within the landscape. In trandition, gardener reforms the landscape through digging out soil from the flat landscape to form pond and locate them well in some other part of the landscape to form mountain. Through this, the diversity of the landscape formed.

Landscape Reformation Located in Taipei, Taiwan, between a central part of River Danshui and the existing Taipei Mainstation, HydroThermal Organ is an environmentally sustainable spa that also incorporates a river water filtering system and a new transport hub functioning as a first landmark on approaching Taipei. Seeking to create a physical and mental link between the city and nature, the proposal uses the water from river Danshui to extract heat from the transport infrastructure and using the steam created as a means to manifest this connection.

Since the underground system is an integration of three underground tunnels, the overground transports is a high densed system as well to satiate the need of commuting. 2 Matters Circulation- Heat / Water Combination of the infrastructural heat and filtered water are being collected through designed paths. These matters would be fed into the thermalcoupling system of the landscape to produce energy and steam for the for the site and the Spa hotel.

Project 3 Taipei Main Station and Utilities Flows Chapter 6 Observation on the Urban Heat Island and Taipei Main Station This design is based on an observation that modern urban infrastructural systems, which efficiently transfer waste, heat, energy, water and other essential resources through the metropolis, have reduced awareness in the general public about how such systems operate. By extension, this misunderstanding of infrastructural effect does not help in highlighting the larger environmental cost of our efficient modern legacy. Here, this issue is considered with regard to Taipei Main Station – a site of intensive use and one that currently experiences high levels of air pollution and significant heat, which creates an urban heat island. Chapter 7 Intervention of the Spatial Pocket within Exisitng Interface In this part, the study of how the existing ground comes together with the introduced spatial pocket which embedded with technologies that could alleviate the cost of the infrastructural operation. Chapter 8 Transition of Scientification and Quantification into Spatial Language The design speculates on the potential of researching other possible energy systems that could generate power for the train station. The ambition is to integrate the flow of energy and waste matter of these new systems, such as thermoelectric energy and bioreactors, with the built environment. It is intended that the flow of these new energy systems would be physically expressed in an ephemeral way, with a fluctuating presence that reflected the climatic and energetic changes of the station. Chapter 9 Ephemeral Condition in ShanShui Drawing Transiting Released Flows into 3 dimensional Spatial Flows The design project suggests that if we can achieve this level of energy production and integration, there is the possibility to use the flows as a transitory architectural matter that would alleviate the environmental deficit and would explicitly express the ‘cost’ of energy creation by expressing the by-products such as algae and heated water through changing condensation and coloration in the project ‘skin’. Chapter 10 The Journey within Systematic Flows and the Conditional Release The research has a dual focus: first, to examine different types of energy systems appropriate to the station and understand how they may be applied to the current energy resources of the site; second, to consider how visual culture of Chinese landscape paintings – and the landscapes themselves – may be referenced, to provide an approach for how to represent ephemeral flows, and to suggest how such flows may be translated to a three-dimesional application at Taipei Main Station.

Chapter 9 Ephemeral Condition in ShanShui Drawing Transiting Released Flows into 3 dimensional Spatial Flows
Ephemeral Medium of Chinese ShanShui Drawing The Chinese Drawing has a significant influence on the forming of chinese garden since the ancient chinese garden were being constructed by the intellects good at drawing. The significant book of < YuanZhi> (Garden Construction) in ming dynasty is a painter served for the emperor. For him constructing a garden is nevertheless constructing a 3 dimensional drawing. And since the Chinese drawing adopted a lot of medium with ephemeral quality ( paper texture/ Chinese Ink ). These ephemeral quality of medium were being transite into different layout of flows within the garden. These flows( water/greenery/ stones...etc) would be affected by the heat and coldness of different season and present their ephemeral texture with controls and expression.

Shakkei Principle and Meaning in Chinese Garden Tolerence between natural flows and Infrastructure 1 in 19th century, a western painter went to china and depicted the harbour, which is the entrance of the city with a realistic drawing. In the drawing, the infrastructure of the city is symbiosis with the natural flows like river stream and green. 2 Shakkei Principle in Chinse Garden is to allow the flows from relative environment to extend into the surrounded realm and make the implication over the larger environmental context. Common Shakkei examples in the landscape.

RELEASE OF THE HOT WATER The release of hot water would be flow back into landscape through the pocket and change the translucency of the landscape surface. The gradient of transparency is created through this scenario.
electricity technology is being adopted for generating the electricity for the whole landscape and taipei main station for its stable and constant efficiency. The selected thermoelectricity module in this part is the peltier module developed by NEDO/ Cardiff university that could generate electricity of 18watt/ m3 in a constant ( maimum can goes up to 80 watt/m3) .

4. Spread to the Facade based on the Solar Condition 2. Carbon Dioxide Extraction
1. River Water Extraction
Production Process Oxygen Production
Rich CO2 from the heat air would help photosynthesis of the algae. Production of Oxygen is continuous 3-6g / min and needed to be extracted from the Bioreactor to porevent the inhibitatipon of algal growth from 1mole of algal. The Oxygen would be pumped into the underground through air exchanger
Sunlight relationship with the Surface
Sunlight Intensity decide the growth and reproduction of Algae in the bioreactor. Facing toward the South to get the sunlight of 1000KW/m2
River Water Transfer
Water is Being Transfer through the Water Belt 2l/mins. The Nutrients in the river water would be filtered through the Bioreactor and generate clean water for the site. These water would be utitlized as the use of landscape. Water Extracted from the river water and pump to the storage of 969m3 volumn in total
Algal Bioreactor Algae Production diameter of the Algal Closed tubular growing system 20cm diameter
Biomass Production
The Production of the Biomass is range from the 40-60 g/day in a 8-10 liter bioreactor based on the received sunlight. These biomass could be utilized as the extra energy for the landscape. AguaFlow Harvestor(12.7m height) would be adopted in this part to execute this process.
Dewatering Process
This process is dewatering the water from the Mature Algae Fluid daily with Biomass harvestor. The water would be fed into the thermoelectricity process or for the use of the building
5. Algal Harvestor
Algae Bioreactor Production of Oxygen and Biomass Algal Bioreactor producing efficiency is affected largely by the input of CO2/ sunlight / nutrient in water and the temperature. The control of temperature would help algal for reproduction. By the same time, the oxygen (post product) of the photosynthesis has to be taken continuously from the bioreactor since it would inhibit algal from next photosynthesis process. In this case, the heat would dissolve it from the water and pumped into the heat exchanger for the underground air Ventilation With the potential of Heated air with rich carbon dioxide and the nutrientious river water,the algal bioreactor is being adopted in the landscape to produce the the oxygen to feed back to the site. The selection of the algae type is the local algea (taiwan Chorella) that could be obtain from the Danshui River of the Site.
