Domestic Shadow-scape.

A house revitalization with light & shadow, 2017 @ Tamkang University

Instructor: Jr Gang Chi

This project is based on scientific research, physical model experiments, and long-term site observation of three historic houses in Taipei, each 40 meters long & 5 meters wide. The proposal is to explore new spatial compositions, allowing the abnormal shadows with everyday scenes to be perceived by human beings. By embedding the two additional vertical “Corners,” where the conventional courtyards are located, the houses are transformed into an ever-changing totality of life, which can be seen and felt by the residents as well as can be preserved as an alternative identity of Dihua Street.
