Design Team : Shao-Yu Tsai , Pai-Han Hsueh

Concept

Drawing inspiration from Wu Ming-yi's "Land of Bitter Rain," I propose the creation of a Natural Art Museum that seamlessly fuses environmental and humanistic elements. This unique space aims to harmonize nature and art, prompting visitors to reflect deeply on life. By integrating the environment with artistic expressions, the museum seeks to inspire mindfulness and a profound connection with the interplay between nature, art, and the human spirit. The goal is to provide a sanctuary where visitors can explore the synergies of nature and art, fostering a deeper appreciation for life's inherent beauty.

Site Planning

Site analysis

The private guesthouse and camping site are situated on a base predominantly. covered in asphalt and concrete, surrounded by artificial structures.

Field Inspection

The existing structures of the guesthouse on the site will be dismantled, and the concrete and asphalt covering the land will be removed, restoring the land to its natural state.

Shaping a more humble physical form in relation to the land, we aim to create a behavioral pattern that is more interconnected with the environment.

Unique landscapes formed by erosion from wind, seawater, rainfall, and other natural elements serve as the foundational basis for the development of the entire space, leveraging the natural topography.

"Echo Retreat" - Inspired by the Song In-class group assignments

Tutor : Mr. Hui-hong Jian

Design Team : Shao-Yu Tsai , Mei-Chi Hong , Ting-Yi Wu

Concept

The concept was based from a song,"Lilian,"written by Dongye Song. Travelers come here and gradually examine themselves. Dialouge with the inner "her". Set foot to find the "He" he desires. In the end, there was only quiet.

Lyric

The longer started a journey, she found

And in the darkness of the dusk, She prayed.

Deep in the night, she turned and heard

The desperate groan

A loving lady and her long hair

She cam, along with the steps of the dusk

And her jade green clothes, in the fire, were merely ashes and dust.

The fire lightrd the night, until dawn.

Until the lady dashed towards the door.

She whispered

"Far far away from whereI stand, there is a beach"

"My longer. he's in the sea, his hands on the sail"

"If you see him on the shore"

"If you see him on the shore"

"Tell him your name and mine"

"... ... And my name, is Lillian."

．The sunrise over Turtle Island in the east.

Design Strategy

．In the journey through the inn, the process of pursuing a goal becomes an intriguing experience:Corridor → Elevated Courtyard → Slope → Corridor

．Gradually, within the architecture, the view of the sea unfolds. The subtle encounters with nature (sunlight filtering through, the sound of ocean waves) and interactions with people create a wandering experience.

．Ensuring that each room offers a tranquil view of the sea allows for a serene connection with nature throughout the stay.

Visualization

The overall design of the homestay centers around a central atrium, with slopes and corridors winding around it as the main focal point

Atrium

Starting from the first-floor common area and gently sloping towards the accommodation spaces, the transparent walls facing the sea allow for a panoramic view of the ocean on each floor.

Slope

The combination of concrete and wooden elements complemented by metallic textures presents a calm and relaxed ambiance.

03_Graveyard Design

Fu Jen Yu Bin Graveyard

Tutor : Mr. Hui-hong Jian

Design Team : Shao-Yu Tsai , Mei-Chi Hong , Ting-Yi Wu

Concept

Using a circle as the focal point of Yu Bin's ideology, a long corridor with a sloped water wall guides people into this gathering space, creating a sacred and serene atmosphere. The downward architecture contrasts with the surrounding tall buildings, immediately instilling a sense of solemnity.

Site Analysis

．Located behind the College of Arts at Fu Jen Catholic University

．Featuring open spaces, serene and comfortable, often hosting gatherings among classmates ．Surrounded by buildings on all sides

Design Strategy

The transparent glass allows water and light waves to penetrate into the underground cemetery, creating a lively yet serene atmosphere in the subterranean space.

A elongated waterway corridor leads into the cemetery, providing visitors with a tranquil transitional space for contemplation upon entering this place.

Surrounded by a contrast of tall and short structures, a serene courtyard at the heart of the building complex offers a peaceful haven.

Establishing platforms and seating areas provides students with spaces for relaxation and activities.

Before entering the park, traverse through sloping pathways on both sides where the sound of flowing water and changing play of light create a serene ambiance, inducing a sense of calmness in visitors.

Sloping Pathway

The light and shadows from the overhead water pool reflect onto the corridor, creating a tranquil atmosphere. The circular flow and ripples allow people to immerse themselves in contemplation in this space.

04_Maker Space

Fashion Maker-Shuttle Weaving Shadows

Studio professor : Mr. Yu-Fong Lin, Mr. Yong-qing Bai Design Team : Shao-Yu Tsai , Pai-Han Hsueh

Concept

A group of fashion designers, realizing the environmental impact of unused materials generated by the fashion industry, formed a dedicated team with a shared commitment to sustainability. They redefine fashion by repurposing existing old clothing materials, fostering self-reflection and collaboration throughout the process. Old clothing fashion becomes more than a lifestyle choice, evolving into a contemplation of the relationship between individuals and the environment.

Site Analysis

This building belongs to a more traditional architectural style, characterized by a clear structural design with neatly arranged columns and rectangular spatial divisions.

Design Strategy

Transforming old clothes into fashionable attire for sustainable legacy, the space centers around a dialogue between people and the environment. By seamlessly integrating natural elements with historical architecture, it creates a space for conversations, highlighting the reimagining of old garments.
