2016-2022 Selected-Works Architectural Portfolio

About

I was born in Taipei city in 1998. This portfolio includes my selected works from 2016 to 2022 in TKUA(college) and from 2020 to 2021 in Liyijung Architect Office (practical experience).

In march 2018, my second year studying architecture, I started a “Gap Year”.Backpacking to Tokyo for a whole summer, recording the daily life and architectural projects I had been to. After that, I went back to college, keen to learn different ways of design. From July 2020 to June 2021, I took an entire year part-time job in Liyijung Architect Office. Designing in the studio and learning practical experiences in the office are both important to me! From July 2021 to June 2022, the last year studying in TKUA, our studio started a whole year project. When designing the “ Fairy Tales Dept. Store”, I found that being a “designer” is such a pleasure! It’s happy to create what I loved, and even more enjoyable when the work is loved by others.

Now I’ve graduated, still looking for something unique or different from others in the field of architecture. In the future, I’ll keep traveling and learning. “Travel makes a man, and brings up an architect.” -Tadao Ando. And I will cherish every journey of my life.

事務所工讀時的案子(實務經驗)。

2018年3月，當我大二的時候，我展開一年的「空白年」 。我在東京度過整個夏天，紀錄了每一天的生活和到訪的每個 建築作品。當我回到學校時，我便熱衷於嘗試不同的設計思考 與方式。2020年7月-2021年6月，我在李宜蓉建築師事務所工 讀。在學校學習設計和在業界累積實務經驗對我來說都相當重 要!2021年7月-2022年6月，五年級的我們開始為期一年的畢業 設計。在設計「童話百貨」時，我發現作為一名「設計師」的 樂趣!當能設計出自己喜歡的作品是多麼愉快，而這個作品也 同時被他人喜愛時，真的覺得非常的幸福! 現在我畢業了，仍在茫茫的建築領域中找尋那麼一點點不 同和獨特。未來，我會繼續旅行和學習。安藤忠雄說:「旅行 造就了人，也成就了建築家。」而我會珍惜每一趟生活的旅 程!

Fairy Tales Dept. Store

Down the Rabbit Hole / Spatial Journey of Self-Projection

童話百貨 跳進兔子洞 /

“Fairy tales” are the reading material of everyone’s childhood. We learned and explored in those stories. As the simplest and purest expressions of the collective unconscious (Marie-Louise Von Franz), everyone in modern society is playing the role that has long since ended. As the “archetype” of story, simply tells us that life is such a cliché!

Then, why are fairy tales so important to human beings and how can I react in the architectural spaces?

TKUA Thesis Design

Down the Rabbit Hole ... Dilemma

Today, we used to give space program and purpose, try to make it functional and commercial.But ignoring the essential satisfaction that space itself can bring to people, which is to discover the tiny little experiences around life.Therefore, my design attempts to create those “insignificant experiences” in architecture by interpretation of fairy tales.

今日，我們習慣賦予空間應有的機能及用途，意圖讓空 間功能化、商業化，卻忽略了空間本身能帶給人本質上的滿 足，是發現生活周遭細微的感知體驗以及心靈層面的實際用 途。因此，本設計試圖從現代性城市的困境出發，運用童話 萬物都有感知的本身，在建築中發現一次又一次微不足道的 體驗。

Fairytales’ Anatomy & Interpretation.

I read lots of fairy tales, including Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen and other famous fairy stories .Selected *six of those to anatomize. Through analysis I found that, the most important feature of fairy tales comes from “self-projection”. Without the limitation of time, space, and history. We can easily project ourselves into the journey.

FairyTalesDept.Store

After that, I interpreted those stories into space experiences by *natural elements and grouped them together. Dept. store is a great complex, while “Fairy tales Dept. Store” is a collection of self-projection into the experiences through the interpretation of fairy tales. When the space is free from function and meaning, each space returns to the experience, the function becomes a “verb”, not a “ pronoun” . Through the self-projection, everyone in this journey becomes the character of the fairy tales. I think fairy tales have such romantic and ethereal qualities.

SpatialJourneyofSelf-Projection

In this journey,

You are both a “ pea ” and “ Thumbelina ” in Hans Christian Andersen’s writing. When you arrive at the other side of the street, you turn into “ Jack ”, who climbs on the magic bean. Suddenly you fall into the belly of a whale like “ Pinocchio ”. And a silver “ coin ” to feel the warmth and cold. Finally you transform into the “ wind ” in the woods.

Mircocastle

A small house with happiness in the grave yard of NYC.

This project was inspired by a scene I saw in L.A.The homeless put all their property on the shopping cart,and move anywhere they could rest. I was a great shock then.But in my opinion,the carefree homeless are much happier than we imagine.Although there’re not much things in the shopping cart,even most of the things to us are useless.But every tiny little thing is like a treasure to them.

Then, how about us? The modern life people, our life is full of things. But are we truly happy? As for me,happiness doesn’t depend on the amount of things. It’s “ how we look the things.” As a result, the theory of "seize the moment" means : live under the current condition and cherish it.Every tiny little thing happen in daily life can create the strongest feeling of happiness.

咖啡 的香氣，香氣延

漫在整個城堡中 。

The site is a graveyard located in Queens, New York City. If you look from the west of this place, you can see the whole city view of Manhattan, one of the most developed cities in the world. The reason why I choose this place is the theory of “seize the moment”.

We enjoy everything in the modern city, spent our entire life pursuing fame, fortune, and achievement, but strangely we always regret that why our life is so unhappy before we’re dying. Maybe happiness is not how much we earn, how successful we are, it’s every tiny little thing that happened in our daily life.The strong oppsite between the graveyard and the city is so attractive.Also,the tower-shape of the city and the tomb is ironic.

Ritual in spirit bone of clothing.

An air shaft located in the east district. of Taipei City , interprets the “architectural uncanny”. It looks strange but cute, like a mega doll standing on the park. I’m trying to create a new character to talk to it.Also inspired by the site issue of downtown Taipei,Fast Fashion. The spirit “clothing” tower aims to reverse the perception of discarded clothes ,and cherish it. Also, experience the ritual of burning clothing.

I have a cute imagination of the air shaft at the location.I think it looks like a Gundam Robot ,a mega doll instead of a building or an equipment.I was wondering if I can create another charactor(mega doll) to start an architectural dialogue between two charactors,that would be interesting!

TKUA Uncanny Studio

The stairs of the entrance is like the feet standing on the ground.And the central columbarium is made like spine (spiral stairs).The two load-bearing wall is the main structure and skeleton.

入口樓梯就像雙足站立在地面上，而中 央灰燼放置所的螺旋梯像是中央脊髓。左右 兩道承重牆是主要的骨骼 。

The shoulder-like confession room, enframed the sign of NET and SOGO.People confess and say goodbye to their clothes here.Finally,they enter the burning chimney.Through the black smoke,passersby can be aware of the existence of burning tower.

像肩膀的告解室，各自望向NET和SOGO的標誌，向窗景告解。最後來 到燃燒室，透過縷縷燃燒後的黑煙，人們可以意識到焚燒塔的存在。

Some little changes of an abandoned-village.

The heart village is built in 1963.No one lives here now.When I first been there,I saw the scene as the photo.The tree collapsed,and the space is dark,musty,and getting rusty.But when I saw the light shined through the hole,I suddendly be touched by the scene.I believe although everything becomes old and abandoned,there’s still something alive here......

Onc Man Chapel

Shibuya: Shelter for the city’s lost boys.

Why will we feel lonely? We don’t feel alone when we are alone but feel lonely when there’re people around. Shibuya crossing is the busiest intersection in the world. In this place, you’ll easily feel the strongest loneliness because of the crowded people and the explosion of the information.

The concept of “lost boy”in the city,inspired by a song called “Lost Boy”.In this day and age,large information and crowded people that everyone can easily become a “lost boy”. Behind the seemingly wonderful life is emptiness and loneliness.So,what’s loneliness? How can let people not feel lonely anymore?

Google Taipei X Future Clothing

Office building in the future

This project started with a plan that Google is gonna to build a headquarters to R&D future clothing.In the future, we don’t need to bring mobile phone or wallet when we go out, we only need “one cloth”. Clothes can help people to communicate through technology.

In the case of “Iridescence (2019)”,the cloth can express one’s emotions without speaking by the changeable colored-sequins.Therefore,is it possible that architecture can also express emotions of activities in the future?

Sing & Pray 05-2

Tamsui Chapel & Community Centre

The atmosphere of Arabesque is like sparkling water surface with a cultural charm.At night, the ridgeline disappeared, the water wave became the background music, just like the serenity of nocturne, the night sky reflected on the water, the faint yellow light of the freshwater river bank. 阿拉貝斯克的氛圍猶如波光粼粼的水面，具有文化韻味，入夜，山脊 消失，水波變成背景音樂，恰似夜曲的寧靜，夜空倒映在水面上，微 弱的黃光淡水河岸。

St. Augustine:“ He who sings prays twice”.The singers praised jesus by singing and pray that the music brought people closer to God. Tamsui is like two songs to me.Arabesque no.1 from Debussy is the day.Chopin’s nocturne op.2 no.2 is the night.I listened to the classical music and turned the feeling into space imagination by sketch. 聖奧古斯丁:「歌唱是雙倍的祈禱。」信徒堅信
