N1-A Eco-logical Urban Edge Songshan airport in Taipei city is facing a decision of reconstructing in the near future, releasing the space and returning it to Taipei citizen as a new central park of Taipei city is the current task.

Under threats of flooding of the Keelung river there is currently a solid barrier obstructing the citizens towards the water, by taking off the inefficient artificial barrier and introducing bioswales will benefit and prevents flooding at the same time, providing a better place for the Taipei citizens.

01

In taiwan there a lot of typhoons, which sometimes causes flooding.

(Below) The solid barrier built along Keelung river to prevent water flooding, but this is incoherent and unefficient to the city landscape. The destruct and redefine of this solid barrier is the task in this project

Bioswale The water's flow path, along with the wide and shallow ditch, is designed to maximize the time water spends in the swale, which aids the trapping of pollutants and silt.

The concept is to decrease the damage done by flooding by inserting bioswales inbetween the islands, but in general picture, the whole design works as a bioswale of the city of Taipei.

Design concept is from the Bible, interpreting the process of suffering to rebirth of the Christ into a seires of architectural spaces.

Creating a egg-shaped church representing the rebirth of the Christ, also introuducing the reflection of the water from Tamsui river as a holy gift from the nature.

N1-D K a l e i d o s c o p e This is an installation we did in the workshop with Japanese architect Takaharu Tezuka and Taiwanese architect Grace Chang.

The theme of the workshop is to repesent the existence of "light, air and water" with space.

Our concept comes from when we were looking up the sky, the feeling we had instantly was the sun light exposed to our face and skin. The light is usually so strong that we can’t look straight into it.

15

Then we discovered something really interesting, which is, from rows of straws, the images are being broken down into pieces, and at the same time, the sun light have been reflected in every pieces of straws, creating a scenery that is similar to the kaleidoscope.

Other than this effect, we discovered that when we stand outside the straw wall, we can

see the outline of the person on the other side o f t he s traw w all, it makes us feel that even though the straw wall looks solid but through the holes of the straws, the wall is actually transparent. The outline is even more obvious when people wear clothes in bright color, such as yellow and white‌etc.

Office In Park Office prototype changes with technology, with Internet and wifi widespread, employees can work "outside" the cubicles. Introducing green platforms infiltrating into every floors so working can be pleasant just like working inside a vertical park.

Defining the working and leisure space by mobile partitions, so employees can decide their own working space.

HOU-TOU MOUNTAIN

TAMSUI RIVER

SITE

Green?

Tamsui is well known for the historical building and the river, with lots of tourist activities happening. The complex office buildikng is located near Tamsui MRT station, which is a really busy area next to a shopping department and the night market.

Though Tamsui is next to the Hou-Tou mountain, but the green landscape is being cut off at the edge. Which means there aren't any green near the site.

SOCIAL SPACE

Public Open Space?

Tourist Attraction?

OFFICE

The traditional office building prototype is composed of floors on top of floors, this way all the space are closed with no air flow and blank space, which is not a pleasant working environment. To solve this problem, by placing different facilities like legos that can be interlocking, so there will be different activities happening at the same floor.

OFFICE

Another characterisitc of this office building is that it works like a vertical park, with different facilities on different floors, not like traditional office building that green only appears at the balcony or the rooftop.

With the Internet/ Wifi technology so convenient than ever, the traditional office unit doesn't have to be bound to a solid box or in a cubicle desk, instead, with the sliding/mobile partitions we can control the boundary of the office area, even expand to the leasure social space to enlarge the working space.

N1-F Waste Water Thermograph The coral and ocean ecological system are endangered by warm waste water released from the Nuclear Power Plant III by 20tons per second.

By introducing a design strategy to ease the destruction level by a series design of water containers to further reduce the temperature of the warm waste water, so that the coral bleaching effects can be eased, in addition, the resources of the warm waste water can be effectively used at different temperatures, instead of just outflow into the ocean.

Pollution From Land

70% of Earth is composed of the ocean, and only 30% of land, where human habitat rely on. With all the waste we human produced occupying up the ocean causes destruction to the ocean biodiversity. For example the coral reef holds 25% of the ocean biodiversity, but in Taiwan-Nanwan, the corals are sabotaged by several factors such as tourism, over fishing...etc, but after research, the main factor would be the waste warm water released from the nuclear power plant near by.

Nuclear Power Plants in Taiwan

With all the destructions the human gave to this coast line, always the construction of adding, building sold barrier physically and mentally towards nature.

Besides the nuclear power plant, this area is well known for water activities and the Ho-Bi-Hu harbour, where local fishermen brings back seafood to sell to the tourists everyday.

During the process of producting energy, the power plant has to drain water from the ocean in order to cool down the chemical reaction. So the outlet temperature is higher than the inlet temperature, which is emitted into the ocean, polluting the corals and some fish.

Nuclear power plant III has designed a warm water ditch to extend the cooling time, so the temperature will be lower when it is emitted to the ocean. In the mean while, it can not be reduced to the average temperature of the ocean, so it still affects the ocean.

The water ditch is 3.5 km in total.

The man-made nuclear power plant inlet provides a steady habitat for the ocean biodiversity.

There is to be found a lot of coral reefs and fish and other sea creatures in this little wonderland.

One thing to be mentioned is that sometimes human constructed for themselves but simultaneously creates habitat for the nature accidentally.

The design strategy is to change the original coastline, by using dynamic circulation and different water experimental programs to educate people.

Hopefully, people can learn through the sequential arrangements to know how the waste sea water can be reproduced and digested after the process. At the same time, to yield minimum pollution of any cause (including the nuclear power plant) done through the proposed spatial deployment and structures in this project.

The design concept is based on the fluidity of water to express the mobile relation between water and people. It is classified as static and dynamic in structure according to different geologic status. The static structure is designed nearby the ditch and the windbreak forest organically according to the natural trees position and condition. The dynamic structure of the design stands for the sand beach and sea level, according to variation of tides, the structure can be demonstrated to show its beauty by the variables given by Mother Nature.

The warm waste water can be reused according to different temperatures the activity needs, including educational, productive and recreational activities.

Other than horizontally going from East to West, the water also goes vertically from high to low driven by gravity

From sections of different districts, the temperature decreases due to the long distance digestion of water temperature and interacting water installations placed according to different uses.

In order for water to flow naturally by gravity, the section of the inlet district shows overlapping platforms like waterfalls to take out the heat in water more efficiently; as to the section of the outlet district, the water flows in the same level closer to the ground.

In conclusion, when people are walking across these sections they have different experience towards the warm water.
