I can not make things difficult, I can only make them complex.
As the saying suggest, I strongly believe the world consists of many simple rules, which finally make things as complex as we see. To me, the same situation is found in architecture. This portfolio shows my architecture projects beginning from my freshman year. What I have been trying to do is to find simple patterns and make them become space & architecture. The concepts of mine are always simple and clear whatever the results are. In other words, I focus on the rules instead of others.

Nest-living 巢居 Acadamy/Personal School Project 2011 Type: Cohousing/ Architecture Location: Dihua Street n.127 Instructor: Mii, Fu-Kuo
Description Co-Housing is a way of living which usually combined with social care. People can take care with each other like birds, backing to the nature. 社会住宅是一种互助的生活模式，通常是有钱出钱有力 出力，对于社会底层的居民来说，互相帮助是一种天 性。

A group of people living together needs activities to create more chances to get to know each other. In this project, I made the map-like circulation in order to put all important needs together, so each habitant can give others a hand. 群居的生活需要更多的活动来串联彼此，在这三维试的 地铁动线，所有重要的活动点都在交会处发生。

咖啡 豆空间
Everything Started Here This shop is located on the famous Dihua Street where we usually buy things for Chinese New Year. The concept was based on the commercial system there, using two different coffee beans from nature. I used peaberry and flat beans to create a “bean space.” By entering the bean space, the custumors will notice a different atmosphere, in color, public & private space, from outside...
基地所在的迪化街是一条年货街，设计的发想在于从中 的商业活动，从不同的两种公母咖啡豆转换为空间，使 空间气氛两面化。 7

想象 孩提与成人最大的差别在 于想象力
The biggest difference between kids and adults is “imagination,” so I create incomplete spaces & exposed structures to tell unfinished stories and dreams.

The site is just beside the MRT so my design strategy was to create a path to introduce visitors to artists and make it more possible for them to interact with each other. The structure system is inspired by the MRT bridge. I have created an MRT underbridge-like space below the mass. So the open area will be full of visitors and artists.

Inbetween From site analysis we learnt that this location is a unique place for building a cultural center, because all art workers are above the second floor. In contrast, visitors move around on the ground floor so the in between space should have some activities, including some workshops, bars, stores, performaning places, restaurants ... and so on.
从基地所在位置发现众多有趣的 事件，其相较在地面层活动的旅 客，艺术家们都生活在二楼以 上，所以简单的将空间化分成两 块，在交迭处空间，产生许多活 动像是乐团表演，商店，工作 坊，餐厅等

Complexity from Basic Rules The technical drawing above, named “Heart Beating,� consists of several circles. When those circles interact with each other, it comes with a ripple-like effect, giving a visual influence to obsevers and arousing dizzy and echo-like feelings. On the other hand, in the project on the right, I tried hard to test the friction, force and arrangments between woods. Whenever I push the sticks below, the above components will also be moved by friciton between them and will also be controlled. Both projects were done by using the same design strategy, which comes from basic components and finally causes purity, simplicity and some complexity. Pixel-like material trying. The individaul and the relaitonship bewteen them 16

Magnify the Object Acadamy/ Personal School Project 08/ 09 Type: Creation Instructor: Dpc Lee/ Shung-Ching Wu
In this period, I was trying to discuss and analyze the possiblities of small scale objects then magnify and represent them on an architectural scale. The most important thing is how to balance the aesthetic and the structure between them. The way I did this was to deconstruct them first and assemble them according to my own rules, which concentrate on simplicity and fluidity.

Boundary and limitation Acadamy/Personal School Project 2009 Type: Creation Instructor: Dpc Lee
As everyone can see, a design with some limits is more strict and sometimes more attractive than one without them. In the “Tree Space” project I used a boundary and limitations within a 60x60x60cm3 box. First, I split the concrete cube into 7 pieces so the section can be seen easily. The space in it is just like a black and white atmosphere. I should consider the white part(Object) and make it become a black part(Space). The key is translation. Finally, each piece can be reassembled in different angles. The boundary and limitation is not that strict and awkward in this way. Instead, it’s freedom.

TKU Experimental Theatre Worshop Workshop/ Construction/ 2010 summer Type: Theatre/ Architecture Location: TKU Campus Material: Cedar wood/ C steel Instructor: Xuan-Cheng Chen/ Li Wen Sung
Description In the summer of 2010, twenty years Experiemental Theatre inner and outter space are totally unusable and needs to be renewed. So our school budgeted some money then asked architectural students as volunteers to make it real. Professior Sung and Professior Chen led us(20 sophomore and 7 senior students) to practice architecture from design to construction. We did not produce it in quantity. Instead, we measured each wood present. 2010夏，淡江大学实验剧场翻修， 建筑系由两位教授带领从设计到施 工，相较于现代建筑，此次设计非 常之工艺，我们并无画施工图，纯 粹在现场打样并测试，直到完成

Wood House Reassemble Workshop Workshop/ Construction/ 2009 summer Type: House/ Architecture Loaction: Danshui Material: Meniki, Pine Wood Instructor: Japanese Taditional Carpenter
This is the workshop that I learnt from several traditional Japansese Carpenters, we used tenon without using any nails. Description: The Japanese government decided to send a dead writer’s house, which is a historical building and was built a hundred ago. So the building was deconstructed and sent to Taiwan and then we helped them build it again. Each piece had been number-marked.

Description Parametric design is always focus on logical thinking, based on something more simple and essential. Like describing natures through mathematical way. 参数的设定与数学逻辑像描述大自然与世界 的方法，当定义清楚时，所有的事情都变得 很简单。
Forms making and rules are basic things. All visual things are based on geometry. All of these are fundamental for deeper discussions.
形的描述和规则是一切视觉的基础，有了这 些规则后，才有更深入的议题探讨。
