Biography Kung-Min, Yang was born and has lived in cities. World Expo 2010 was the first time he was attracted by the charm of the architecture. NCKU taught him about publicity and the sociality of architecture and the social responsibility of architects. Nevertheless, in the process of a sizable public project, spending most of the time on scrutiny and bureaucratic procedures struck him that architects should concentrate on users and architecture itself. Now, he is seeking an orientation to practice the architectural profession and hopes to run his own office eventually. 2

Church at a Corner Church Tainan, Taiwan 3,192m2
This project is located in the historic and cultural district which was the education center under Qing rule as well as the political center under Japanese rule in Tainan. The demands of the project include the sacred space, the chapel, and the mundane space for Sunday school, dining, and 2 priests’ dwelling. Furthermore, I need to find a way to deal with the context and the acute angle on the site. As for me, I want to make the chapel approachable to the public for not only providing a peaceful place for people but also persuading them to convert by a sanctified and tranquil atmosphere.

[Project Epilogue] Use of Geometry In order to make the chapel approachable, this sacred room needs to be put on the ground. Therefore in the plan, the separation of sacred and mundane space was made. Apparently, these two kinds of spaces have different characteristics; sacred spaces need spatial impressions and, on the contrary, mundane spaces need practicality. I used the properties of geometric figures, circles and rectangles, as well as the relationship between the two to display the characteristics mentioned above and arranged the spaces. To be more specific, rectangles have right angles and let the spaces be arranged easily and effectively. In contrast, circles are centripetal and orbital and can be used to shape the circulation path and naturally guide people to permeate the chapel. Fortunately enough, the circle is a perfect partner to match with the acute angle of the site. The slight detachment of the visual focus, the stage in the chapel, from the geometric center of the circle not only avoids pillars from sight-blocking but also creates an asymmetric layout which is sometimes used in contemporary European churches, such as Eglise Saint-Nicolas in Switzerland by Walter Maria Förderer. Furthermore, the triangle cross-beam system and the light it shapes, also representing the image of God, become the only stable elements in the chapel. It is the unremitting welcome by God in this changing world.

5 Houses in Taipei Housing Taipei, Taiwan 453m2
This project is located in an ordinary old-developed residential district in Taipei. The highlight of the site is that the housing nearby is a work named Hong Lu by famous Chinese-based architect, Da-Hong Wang. The task in this project is to respond to the motif of Hong Lu, provide a perspective on housing in Taipei, and design a 5-storey housing. As for me, I am not fond of the view that people only regard housings as assets and the consequence that almost every housing in Taipei is commercialized; the residences resembled, completely stratified by floors, and possess the similar set of rooms and little public spaces. I want to make housing more livable, like houses in the countryside.

Archetype is our first task. The room is formed with the intention that people should explore the physical condition in architecture. The room, setting for a person’s sleeping, living, and working, presents two characteristics. First, a central column and beams above subtly divide the square room into four parts. Second, the position of openings introduces environmental context, natural light, into the room. Therefore, a person living in the room will arrange his/her furniture according to the relationship he/she wants to keep with the sunlight. (For example, if he/she doesn’t want to wake up in the early morning, he/she will keep the bed from the southeastern window.)

[Project Epilogue] Interaction with Architecture In the mature market of housing estates, sophisticated architects are prone to use walls, closets, and fixed bookshelves to conceal pillars, use delicate ceilings to conceal beams, and keep floor even to fit the trend of universal design. Owing to this dedication, house units can avoid traditional taboos, easily be used, and circulated in the market. Leading a life in housing is just an extra bonus in a deal. Thus, architecture itself totally disappears in housing and in people’s living. I intend to make architecture reappear in people’s lives. People deserve to take more time to look at it, touch it, and explore it; moreover, to consider it one of the family members. For the sake of this reappearance, every unit is made uniquely: some pillars are independent, floors vary for different purposes, and the semioutdoor staircase around the site serves as a tool for one to experience the surroundings and hang out with the neighbors. Although the units differ, to meet the general demands, they still have some common characteristics and no housing unit includes more than one storey. Moreover, the slightly eccentric cylinder pillar and the pipe room are the only two things that remain unchanged over the 5 floors. That is to say, they are the anchors for residents to compare the variations throughout the houses. To be more specific, if people living there invite one another to visit their houses, this pillar will be the coordinates for them to identify.

Cross the Mountain toward the Sea Landscape Kaohsiung, Taiwan 2.422km
This landscape project requires the site to be located in Kaohsiung for the purpose to discover and do something for the city. Kaohsiung is a city with a tremendous port. Through knowing the city and her history, I found her origin, a trivial fishing harbor, and a poem written for the visiting experience of the harbor before it developed into such a big port. I chose the path which appeared to be the one that the poet had passed, as the site for the project, discovered its hidden features, and explored the relationships between humans, mountains, and the sea to passengers.

Subsequently, the port has been used to export industrially processed products since the 1960s until now.

A Man Singing at the Slanting Bay -Zhuo Zhaochang Suddenly, I heard the singing of a woodman, strolling down a mountain slope. Wind came close and the sunset shone on the man's back. Breeze brought the sound of the coast, ringing at the blooming bay. Birds sang harmoniously but stones just answered nothing. I hummed and scoffed at myself "Why not be an idler?" If someone had asked “Where do you live?”, I would say "above the clouds." 28

[Project Epilogue] Architecture without function Unlike most architectural practices, this landscape architectural project has no definite purposes and functions. That is, this project cannot be manipulated like other projects I’ve done. Accordingly, I started to think about what architecture can do when it’s without function. After observation, I dare to say that the reasons that people feel pleasure in architecture or landscape have little to do with the functions which it contains. The pleasure is concerned with spatial experience and knowledge provision. The former, usually used in most buildings, is demonstrated by offering a pretty view, creating visual connection, exaggerating the scale of things, etc.. Yet, the latter, seldom appearing in architecture, is manifested by revealing something hidden, giving knowledge to people, etc., which extends users’ consciousness and brings them to a different thinking level. In this case, I intended to reveal things and senses, such as the formation of the mountain, tidal range, and sense of danger, which were covered by construction for safe and convenient life today. Along the pathway, I hope people can spot what they didn’t notice before.

Superficial City City fantasy New Taipei, Taiwan
I wondered about the living conditions which people living in dense cities face nowadays. Therefore, I found an area, observed how it formed, and recorded the phenomena. Yong He, the densest city in Taiwan as well as a satellite of Taipei, was planned to be a Garden City, deriving from the theory by Ebenezer Howard: a city composed of residences, parks, and schools only for 30,000 people. Now it is settled by more than 210,000 people. Based on mere 5.7138 km2, the density of the population is about 38,000 people/ km2, exceeding the second densest city on earth (36,273 people/ km2.) Thus, I think observations in Yong He could tell a lot. Moreover, some new phenomena were recently discovered in Greater Taipei, including Taipei, New Taipei, and Keelung. They also gave interesting insights into the development of cities. Instead of finding problems and solving them, I organized those observations and phenomena in Yong He and Greater Taipei and exaggerated them to describe the humans’ living conditions, like the way a utopia/dystopia novel works.

In Great Taipei, public subway facilities, stores, and private housing shared the same structures. In Great Taipei, every kind of public facility, if it is big enough, will be built as a department store. In Great Taipei, utilities are distributed in three dimensions, which makes systems fragmentized. In Great Taipei, people live alongside nature but do nothing with it unless it causes damage. In Yong He the image of a city depends on the rest space which isn’t occupied by buildings. In Yong He, it’s rather difficult to find a parking space.

Chapter _Superimposition
Yong He needs the fulfillment of the urban plans to ameliorate its problems. Yet, there are a lot of reasons resulting in the non-implementation of the plans, like fast-changing administrators, inhabitants' disagreement, or local culture reservation. A “genius” official figured out the fact that we could let all of them, the local market and the planned road across, coexist by building them at different altitudes. This conclusion seems apparent but deepens the incorrigibility of the city as well. As time goes by, the full picture of the city is gone, and the fragmentized scenarios are the only clues that people can recognize the city.

Chapter _Void
Yong He, an infinite swirl of the crowd, relies on massive transportation to compensate for its lack of function. Buses, cars, and more scooters jam on roads originally planned for 1/7 population now. The parking lots are always occupied, leaving more drivers idling around looking for a vacancy. A paradox has it that a parking space for a scooter can always be spared between another two. ... The center of the black hole, a naked singularity, like an atrium of the heart without any contraction and seeking for uninterrupted flow of blood, constitutes of spiraling double helix, absorbing the crowd and cars flood in the city and then finally solidifying into a Babel of density.

Chapter _Sanctuary
Someday, air pollution is finally out of control by humans’ regulation. Citizens are forced to minimize the surface of the city in order to enhance the efficiency of purifying and transporting air. They build a cage to keep themselves in a sweet condition, their sanctuary, an embodiment of the exchange network system. Citizens from now on get rid of the air, the weather, and the environment in which the city is located. It’s the second revolution of liberation from places. What an unprecedented success.

Homo Urbs, evolved from Homo Sapiens, are born in the city, grow in the city, and eventually die in the city. They don’t really need to know how much they rely on Mother Nature. Maybe some of them have never seen living animals or crops throughout their lives. In this world, cities are integrated circuits, public facilities are programs, and inhabitants there play as terminal signals. By getting through different programs, Homo Urbs make expectable diversity in their societies.

Chapter _End
Cities are tools to control density. Unlike Plan Voisin by Le Corbusier, a Superficial City controls the minimum density of a city. The project condenses the over-expansive but inefficient cities caused by humans’ infinite desire into efficient scales, and cities finally become the Walls, and eventually, lines on the map. The Walls create new infinite lands along the Z-axis. A new exchange system and self-sufficiency here bring a new equilibrium, doing anything but not concerned with the outside world. The Walls, exceeding any tribulation of nature, are artificial paradises. Afterwards, the outside world will start a new evolution cycle.

[Project Epilogue] The Lament for My Theoretical Dream In school, I had chances to read about theoretical projects, such as Plan Voisin by Le Corbusier, Plan for Tokyo by Kenzo Tange, episodes of works by Superstudio, utopia/ dystopia novels, etc. Moreover, I were taught that architects need to be ambitious and use architecture, a powerful weapon, to boost the environment. However, at some moments, I would suddenly be struck deeply by the fact that architects are no longer powerful as they were before. Most architects work by arranging given functions in buildings, checking the regulations, and taking legal responsibilities for them. Especially in Taiwan, a place for utilitarianism resulting from our colonization history, architects usually are led by the nose by pretentious clients or sophisticated officials without respecting architects’ profession. When I realized all the fantasy imagination for the future world eventually becomes paintings on the offices’ wall, doing a thesis design by utopia/dystopia way is necessary. Unlike ordinary architecture projects, I do not want to solve any problems or give any promising futures. On the contrary, I just intended to say what we are (or what I am) in this specific era, place, and culture by observing, describing (not analyzing) the phenomena, and transforming them into sentimental illusions, the lament for my theoretical dream. After all, I have to leave the ambition here and move on toward reality.

Appendage [What is Architecture?] “What is architecture?” is an activity to ask four questions about perspectives of architecture. I try to answer those questions in my opinion. https://www.whatisarchitecture.cc/ What is architecture? Architecture is composed of spaces, ways of forming spaces, and the perception of humans, with humans’ intention.

architecture
Architecture can not only shelter human bodies but, like what all of the arts do, stimulate (or provoke) humans’ thoughts.
What is your architectural position? It seems to me that architects are some kind of organizer. Moreover, because even the smallest building is a complicated artifact and takes time to be built, architects can not only complete the physical demands for clients but create further values in the process of organizing. For me, I want to create unfamiliarity in this gradually generalized world to stimulate the thoughts or behaviors of people. What is your design method? It has not formed yet. Yet, when projects come, the time for design is always short, but the outcome will exist at last over five decades. Accordingly, I should be sensitive to issues, think about them comprehensively, and prepare potential archetypes beforehand. On the other hand, if I only let the sites, client’s requests, regulations, and my intuitions run automatically to form the outcome, I will lose my orientation in the trivia. 62

[Cities mentioned above in Taiwan]
Kaohsiung Kaohsiung is a harbor city, and her port was once the third-biggest port all around the world in 1999. The city started as a fishing village and developed after the Treaty of Tientsin between Great Britain and the Qing.
Now, she has the most population and is also the densest city in Taiwan.
During WWII, the port was expanded and aimed to be the industry and military center toward east southern Asia under Japanese rule, which led to its modernization. 20 years later, the ports developed as the vessel-making, steel-casting, and export processing zone that stabilized Taiwan's economy during the oil crisis in the 1960s. Now, she is the third-biggest city with the biggest port in Taiwan.
Tainan Tainan, located on the biggest plain in Taiwan, is also the first developed city. In 1627, the Dutch built the castle, Zeelandia, as a rule and trade hub of east southern Asia. After the Dutch’s departure, Tainan was still designated as Taiwan’s capital during the Tungning Kingdom and the Qing regime, until the war between France and the Qing in 1858.
Now, she is the biggest city and capital in Taiwan.
Now, she is the most historic city and has the largest agrarian land in Taiwan.

New Taipei New Taipei is the margin of Taipei and contains more diverse topographies, such as a cityscape, countryside, mountain, beach, than Taipei. A lot of people work in Taipei but live in New Taipei because the house pricing and rents here are cheaper. Apparently, the city absorbs plenty of spillover from Taipei.
Taipei Taipei, located in the center of the basin, has been the capital of Taiwan since 1887. The overall urban plan was arranged under Japanese rule in the 1930s. The city possesses two different characteristics: one consists of highrises, wide roads, and broad blocks, while the other is made of 5-level-height housings, one-way alleys, and divided blocks with small parks. In addition, the city has the most comprehensive railway net in Taiwan.
