Exploring the transformation of the lived experience in the urban, architectural, and built forms of the environment has been one of my goals in architecture and urban design. Large-scale urban design should consider small-scale physical behavior; on the contrary, small-scale architectural design can be extended and woven into large-scale urban or global spaces from the bottom up. The multiple layers of scenes and relationships that already exist in the context of the spatial transformation of the base can be explored and then applied to design for maximum social and public access.

In "The Detour of the Errand" thesis project, I responded to more significant urban issues through spatial design, such as international mobility, faith, science, desire, and art. "Urban Housing Exchange Project" swaps old houses of the elderly with social housing and discusses care industry and youth worker issues. "Pixelated Park" and "Endless Monument" transform past urban memorials and authoritarian spaces. "Hyperlogistics" focuses on current international logistics issues.

I prefer the design to have a multi-scale and multi-perspective back-and-forth debate, so I also combine architectural design with structural analysis and parametric construction. "Wave Eaves" forms a double-polished surface structure, and robotic arms assist manufacturing. "Experimental Wood Factory " provides a place to experiment with structure, and the city will thus be transformed into a wooden capital.

Artery in Taipei City

Zhongshan North Road had become a major road in Taipei before the lattice-like urban correction during the Japanese rule.

The Detour of the Errand Reconstructing Zhongshan Road

NCKU Fifth Year Thesis Design Studio - Best Project Awards: TEAM20 Architecture and Planning Graduation Projects Merit Award, The Architecture MasterPrize Best Project in Urban Design and Urban Planning, ARTOGOLD 2022 Gold Medal Award

Instructor: Cheng-Luen Hsueh

Site: Zhongshan N. Rd., Taipei City, Taiwan Summer 2022

Since Qing Dynasty, Zhongshan North Road has been an essential artery in Taipei's urban heritage. Under the changes of the significant era, considering factors such as the change of regime, the eastward shift of the core of economic development, and transportation innovation, the area south of Keelung River and north of Nanjing East Road was chosen as the main study and design operation area, which is the section of Zhongshan North Road that was lost due to the eastward shift of Taipei's economic development and the edict street during the Japanese rule.

The street observation of Zhongshan North Road is not limited to the façade along the street. However, the more crucial spatial significance is the lifestyle and connotation of the ordinary people between the streets and alleys. The social and historical context of Zhongshan North Road is unraveled. Then a critical vision is used to reinterpret the spatial history, the physical spatial shape, and the meaning of the landscape production.

Boulevard of the Errand

Deconstructing the power space of Zhongshan North Road

During the Japanese rule, Zhongshan North Road was located between the Taiwan Shrine and Taipei Walled City, which was the main communication route between the national theology and the state apparatus, just like the Omotesando Road in Japan. The phrase "Errand" refers to the spatial generation in the context of past orders, and these serviced spaces served the function of announcing the country's progress to foreign guests in the past. The subject and object of power shifted with different generations, making Zhongshan North Road a rather interesting change in the power landscape. The property of "Errand" is also reflected in past urban planning, and the large-scale setbacks have resulted in many rigid public spaces along the street today.

Metropolis of the Detour

A field that coexists with the path of servitude

"Detour" is a place that is found in the lanes of Zhongshan North Road, which coexists with "Errand" and often takes place inside the rigid street space. Compared to the declarative space along the street, the changing attitude and daily scale of life become a rather heterogeneous spatial experience, reversing the past relationship between the powerholder and the object.

The Detour of the Errand

Through historical files and street observations, I take "The Detour of the Errand" as a unique interpretation of the urban phenomenon of Zhongshan North Road. By superimposing images from multiple angles and times, similar to visual artist Corinne Vionnet's impressionistic photography, the complex relationship between the spatial attributes

of detour and errand is deconstructed and subjectively interpreted by images to find out the changing relationship between the two attributes in Zhongshan North Road.

The Fantasy of the Detour

The new urban realm in the detour space

The creation of four fantasy fields will once again reverse the spatial meaning of North Zhongshan Road's landscape and the citizens' daily life experience. The four fantasy fields rethink about the commercial, immigrant, art, and sex industry happened on North Zhongshan Road. The new relationship is set up to overturn the single power exchange phenomenon of Zhongshan North Road in the past.

Activities in Inviting Habitat

The rapid movement of logistics, stage systems, and people from different countries leads to many activities.

System of Inviting Habitat

The new spatial system serves as an inviting place for immigrants and citizens and firmly connects with the city.

Inviting Habitat Reconstruction of Immigrant Power and Cultural Experience

The existing Qingguang Market is an indoor market on the side of Zhongshan North Road and extends to the semi-outdoor shopping street in the alley. The north side of the base is the field of immigrants, including Southeast Asian department stores and churches. This project reorganizes existing streets and opens up existing market entrances.

The original indoor market was converted into a highly open stage space for cultural sharing. The semi-outdoor scaffolding layer is reconstructed, and the newly created second-floor cortex is used as a logistics warehouse and food-sharing space. Through the transport belt formed with the duct, the relationship between market storage and the city is smoothed out, and immigrants are invited to pass through the changing logistics and stage space.

Soothing Flowerscape

A flower healing space shared by patients and believers

Soothing Flowerscape is located between Wenchang Temple and Mackay Hospital. Recipients are planted on the street as a way of repaying their vows. The plants on the street are pruned seasonally and transplanted to the laboratory next to the temple by maintainers. After finishing, they are finally moved to the memorial garden for people preparing for exams and accompanying patients to use as a blessing.

With the weight of the planting, Flowerscape comes about the vertical shift, and the faith turns out as weight.

Because of faith, people in Taiwan commonly seek spiritual solace through traditional means such as worship and lighting the menorah. Soothing flowerscape subverts the tradition with a new commemorative form, replaces the current more linear memorial form, cleans up the surrounding street environment, and actively intervenes in urban life.

Fuzzy women's commodification values and high-quality consumption behavior

In the past, elite hotels established their status as high-end consumption patterns through high-rise buildings and were also far away from cities. However, now that the consumer business district has moved, highend consumption and old-style buildings are also facing challenges.

Site Plan

The catwalk juxtaposes the commercialized values of women at night on Linsen N. Rd. and the boutique consumption.

The building volume lifted from the square makes the city re-carry daily life. The giant commodity box carries daily activities and serves as a model's extension platform; the new extension platform on the side exposes the underground boutique street and pulls the store facade to the city street. Mannequins and walking behaviors are constantly intertwined, blurring women's commoditized values and boutique consumption behaviors.

Rebelling Art Square-Booom room Subvert the Relationship of Power and Physicality

Taipei Fine Arts Museum X-site 2021 - First Prize

Awards: Taipei Design Award Distinction, Golden Pin Design Award Merit Award

My Work: Leader of the Team, Concept, Structural Analysis, Architectural Design, Construction Team: Chieh-Sen Chiu, Sheng-Hsiung Hung, Yannick Dauby

Site: Taipei Fine Art Museum Plaza, Taiwan

Summer 2020(Design) - Summer 2021(Completion)

We chose to consider the feeling of doom brought by post-industrial architecture and to use sound as a building material to create a synesthetic experience. Our team created a tower-shaped vessel that stores energy and simulates explosions with light waves, sound, and vibrations. The accumulation of these events and their physical energy create a dynamic game-like ambient zone. Audiences will experience the structure through the different senses of touch, sight, and hearing.

With Booom room, we launched a thorough investigation of possibilities about energy expansion and the traversal of space in a set of installations that radiate from the center of the museum's plaza. Providing a visual focal point at the center of the various installations, a structure resembling a nuclear power plant cooling tower serves as a metaphor for our worry about and quest for energy. Furthermore, invisible, heterogeneous sound waves that vibrate the space and expand the borders of perception are generated.

For the main structure of Booom room, collaborators adopted the form of a nuclear power plant cooling tower. Visitors are drawn to this structure and in the process of approaching it and walking around the fragments, they feel the oppression of the huge structure's mass as well as a faintly restless sound that causes anxiety.

The art of the ordinary people can be released on the square.

The relationship between power space and physicality

I took X-site Land Art Competition as part of my graduation design, through field observed the establishment of the stage installation, and further began the discussion. In the past, when presidents and diplomats passed through Zhongshan North Road from their official residences, many underground tunnels were built there for national security reasons, and citizens had to pass through them to pass through the road. The relationship between power and physical control can be seen here.

Besides the experience we create with different senses of touch, sight, and hearing, this case also responds to the urban relationship between the Yuanshan Hotel and Zhongshan North Road overlooking the city and the restraint of the underpass and physical behavior in the past. Through the installment we created, people reclaim bodily autonomy with bottom-up popular art and behavior.

Social Housing and Better House

Senior citizens who live in buildings with no elevator and property in their name are eligible to apply for social housing. After optimizing the space and facilities, their buildings will be transformed into Better Houses for community care services and caregivers, forming a localization of the care industry.

A better senior life must consider the development of the senior community, the care industry, and youth workers simultaneously. Today, 70% of seniors live in two-story buildings without elevators, the care industry faces space and workforce challenges, and youth lack suitable office space.

The project proposes a housing exchange program that combines senior housing and social housing and opens the application for social housing to selected senior citizens. After the government leases and manages the space, the government and local organizations jointly optimize the space and then lease the space to the care industry, reducing the cost of ownership for care institutions, improving the social perception of caregivers, and promoting the localization of the care industry. Coworking space in social housing attracts young entrepreneurs to move in, and the rent is used to manage and maintain social housing. The shared office space provides greater leasing flexibility and networking opportunities. The building will form a learning and information network by introducing community and campus resources. The design of the units ensures a 30% priority of households. At the same time, the massing responds to the history with the shape of the mountain, creating a unique image of a traditional village. The rich daily communication spaces, such as the atrium that connects to the street, can be used for community or campus events. In contrast, the community communication spaces and the centripetal central platform can be used as an extension of the home space.

Social Housing for Everyone

The residence places more emphasis on the convergence of surrounding communities, campuses, and nature to become an urban resting place. At the same time, it accepts every person in the city as a mountain.

For care providers, Better Houses are anchor points for community care, and each location becomes more stable as time grows. In Better Houses, basic facilities are added according to different needs. By optimizing the senior's home, the space resources can be returned to the care industry, especially for caregivers, who can shorten the distance and time between care locations and save some of their living expenses.

Co-working spaces are located behind the residential area and separate the atrium activities and the residential area. 3. 1F community areas include a cafeteria, library, and stores, and the interior spaces are open to floor-to-ceiling windows in both directions to ensure smooth movement and view.

Social housing serves as the core of the city's care function and brings together community activities. Looking back the history, its former location at the junction of mountain and river has been continued by a green belt. I chose to recreate the mountain, and its spatial state of retreating from the outside and facing inward creates a friendly interaction and forms a very distinctive image of the housing.

Reinterpretation of the Power Landscape: Pixelated

Conceptual Design Competition for Heart of the Capital

My Work: Concept, Site Mapping, Urban Strategies, Landscape Design, Render Team: Ching-Chia Huang, Cheng-Jie Huang, Dai-En Liu Site : Liberty Square, Taipei City, Taiwan Autumn 2022

In past times, people used axis and huge volumes to create an atmosphere above the scale. Since ancient times, Chinese space has created a sense of authority for the palace through roofs, pedestals, and screens. The form of Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall in Liberty Square is derived from an ancient Chinese palace, and its authority comes from constructing the exterior form. Liberty Square is located in the middle of Taipei city, a substantial public space of the capital. However, the past authoritative establishment has disconnected the park from the urban context. Different forms and meanings of urban life inevitably intersect here, such as symbols of authoritarian rule, government institutions, civil society, art, leisure, etc.

Given the recent developments in the fields of transformation and justice, the vision of tomorrow for the ordinary people, and the imagery of the capital city, it not only reflects the vitality of the pluralistic debates in Taiwan's civil society but also challenges spatial professionals to rethink the spatial prototypes of the authoritarian political realm of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries when creating contemporary life and future urban visions, and even to find out how the core area of the capital city can break away from the existing symbols of authoritarianism and the structure of the ruling mind. In this way, we can identify the possibility of creating a public living space for the citizens in the core area of the capital city.

Pixelated City

Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall is a park disconnected from the urban context. Therefore, as a new disturbance, the pixelated space not only connects to the urban environment but also serves as an opportunity to refill the surrounding function.

Pixelated Plan

While translating the form, the everyday function is reintroduced, and the human scale is used to reoccupy the massive scale of the past. This is a monumental daily park where past and present coexist, and time begins to stack and accumulate through architectural objects.

Pixelated Strategy

Activities penetrate in a band-like manner, preserving the past authoritarian space with a new look, and time begins to stack and accumulate through architectural objects.

Pixelated Elevation

The horizontal pixel landscape of the park responds to the vertical pixel façade of the mall, creating a continuous, blurred effect on the original authoritarian appearance of Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall.

In the pixelated space, the shopping behavior reoccupies the authoritarianism space as a definition of another direction beyond the old axis. A shopping mall is an essential contemporary public space, and a mall, in a broad sense, is a space where people gather in the name of shopping.

Pavilions

Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall should not be demolished because it is a part of history. At the same time, we argue that the interpretation of history should be left to the reader, but by blurring the meaning of memorials in people's lives. From visual pixelation to physical pixelation of the entire park, Pixelated Park gives a new look to the memorial hall and proposes a new interpretation of the old power landscape.

Value of the Presidential Library

The value of the library goes beyond the remembrance of political greats; it presents a succession of historical changes and commemorates this relationship of mutual control and obedience.

03 Endless Monument

An Eternal Monument to Taiwan's Democracy

Taiwan Presidential Memorial Library Competition - Honorable Mention

Instructor: Cheng-Luen Hsueh

Site: Taipei City, Taiwan

Autumn 2021

Taiwan's political power comprises two forces: the people's participation in the bottom-up delivery of ruling power and the political elite, ordained by the majority of the public, who maintain the system through top-down governance. In the design of the presidential libraries, it is hoped that the relationship between governance and popular participation will be highlighted so that the two can be juxtaposed to tell the story of the development of the R.O.C. and shape the current democratic constitutional system in Taiwan.

In commemorating the presidents, the library also reflects the people's political thinking at different times. Therefore, I believe that the Presidential Library is not only a tribute to political greats but also a presentation of this continuous historical change, commemorating the relationship of mutual control and obedience in the center of power in Taiwan. Endless Monument will respond to the monumental nature of the presidency and public participation through continuous exhibition space and a functional body of public services. The new Presidential Library will become an eternal monument to the progress of Taiwan's democracy.

Circulation Diagram

The circulation highlights two sides of the coin: governance and public participation, and presents side by side to illustrate the development process of ROC.

The Presidential Library actively responds to public events. The gap of wrapped volume becomes a comfortable semi-outdoor space used for rallies and gatherings, reading, or relaxation. It creates a new perspective on institutions of power and memorial parks. The plaza will be used for National Day ceremonies and election campaigns to demonstrate the vitality of civic participation. The climbing exhibition space attempts to continue the political memorial atmosphere, starting from the historical corridor at the entrance and following the chronological sequence of the presidential showrooms, with a transparent visual effect symbolizing the peaceful transfer of power.

In the Hyperloop

In the future, the flow of people and goods will be standardized, speeding up the efficiency of international to local logistics.

Hyperlogistics

Rethinking Future Logistics Systems

NCKU Fifth Year Optional Design Studio

Instructor: Wan-Yu Liu

Site: Taoyuan, Taiwan

Winter 2021

“When knowledge becomes networked, the wisest person in the room is no longer the prevailing wisdom of everyone. The wisest person in the room is the room itself”, says David Weinberger, the author of “Too Big to Know.”

The studio started with a broad study of the phased evolution of human knowledge systems. Then it developed a spatial system that responds to the networked processes of contemporary knowledge production, storage, extraction, dissemination, and reproduction, constructing a worldview of the knowledge universe a decade later.

The logistics system is an essential medium for knowledge dissemination. This project reconceptualizes the current logistics system in Taiwan by integrating sea, air, and public transportation with Hyperlogistics to meet the future trends of global supply chain diversification, e-commerce demand, and net-zero carbon emissions. This design is divided into three main projects, including Hyperloop, the logistics park, and the logistics of the airport MRT.

Knowledge Systems Research

The group worked together to study the evolution of human knowledge systems in stages.

Hyperlogistics

Integrates sea, air, and mass transportation

By setting up warehouses in Taiwan, the neighborhood countries may significantly lower their operation costs, as they can ship products to Taiwan before selling to other destinations. Hence, international logistics will be transmitted to all parts of Taiwan through Taoyuan airport. Through the new transportation system, Hyperlogistic will be integrated, and it is expected to increase the efficiency of cargo circulation. In order to cope with the impact of the substantial increase in logistics demand in the future.

Hyperlogistics Integrate Mass Transport

Logistics Equipment

The storage design is developed vertically using artificial intelligence to develop demand forecasting and storage decision-making technology. With shuttle automatics storage, a large amount of storage space can be increased. The Hyperlogistics system mainly adopts three kinds of automation equipment, including Hyperbox, Hypercapsule, and Hyperontainer. In addition, this case will also design the vehicles and storage containers, which is also a requirement for the automated logistics system in the future.

Currently, the distribution system relies heavily on trucks and existing road infrastructure, which could be more efficient and polluting. Through Hyperlogistic, goods are transported within the mass transportation cart and are delivered to stations. This strategy challenged the existing lastmile chain to offer a more carbon-efficient way.

System of Hyperlogistics

Rethinking carriers and logistics flow after 10 years

Hyperloop is a new type of transportation system that can transport passengers or cargo at high speed, and the distance between Taoyuan international airport and Taipei port is only 20 kilometers. The Hyperloop will enhance the efficiency of air-sea transportation.

After the standardized cargo arrives at the Taipei port, it arrives at the free trade port through Hyperloop. It is then divided into airfreight outlets, air cargo logistics cars, and trucks according to the usage requirements, and finally arrives at the consumers' hands.

This strategy allows the city to offer a more carbon-efficient way of meeting demands by utilizing the existing infrastructure of the metro network; the new strategy can integrate itself into the existing fabric without much distribution.

Reimagine the Sea and Air Distribution Process

Logistics of Airport MRT

This project aims to set up a facility that combines logistics and MRT functions under the uncompleted third terminal. The logistics park and Taoyuan airport will be connected through an underground system. Part of the park cargo will be transported by the airport MRT to Taipei main station for distribution, the containers will be packaged and processed at the logistics layer, and distributed by metro or drones.

Logistics Park

This project plans to create a state-run sea-air logistics park in the Taoyuan Airport. Sea and air cargo can be integrated in the logistics park. The logistics park is connected to the cargo apron through a dedicated apron connection lane, which can be regarded as an extension of the airport's airside. The park can be divided into seven zones, and the surrounding area provides multinational companies to set up operations research bases.

In the future, when people enter the airport MRT system for transfer, they will see the logistics processing space that was regarded as a black box in the past, and they can purchase the goods they need through METAVERSE in the MRT carriages.

Spring 2021(Design) - Summer 2021(Completion)

The team realized the robotic-assisted construction project with an entire semester of architectural design courses. The first half of the semester was spent on individual design competitions, with my design proposal being selected. Due to material and labor constraints, the team eventually worked together to complete the project.

The Wave Eaves are formed by inter-bearing structural configuration to form a double-polished surface structure, and robotic arms assist the whole digital intelligent manufacturing process. The intelligent manufacturing process is divided into stages: stage 1, shape finding; stage 2, real-virtual integration; and stage 3, automated assembly. The prototype design of the structure with physical factors is constructed by Grasshopper with Kangaroo physics engine and integrated into the inter-supporting structure deployment by parametric means. The physical manufacturing model is generated by inputting the actual wood model. In the processing stage, we realize the spatial positioning characteristics of the robot arm and the automatic assembly of the assembled components by placing and positioning them.

Reciprocal Frames are structures consisting of linear flat, or inclined elements that support each other and are arranged to form a closed circuit or unit. Video Link :

Step 1. Shape Finding and Design Workflow (Personal Work)

The parabolic surfaces are combined into a new form of eaves that undulates like a wave using the parametric design. It is located in front of NCKU Digital Factory and is a landmark entrance.

Step 2. Real-virtual Integration and Fabrication Site

The robot arm manufacturing site is arranged according to the designed processing flow and can be roughly divided into seven processing areas from material pickup to assembly.

Cinemetrics - Yasujiro Ozu

The video content is laid out with methods of video movement and time mapping to measure the role of physical movement in the space, as well as an exercise in perceiving movement so that the viewer can understand the physical and ecological impact of his or her movements, and to strengthen the knowledge of transference and implication.

Contact Zone

Sensori-Motor Isochronous Measurement

Taiwan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale

My Work: Concept, Architectural Design&Drawing, Rendering

Team: Wei-Shun Wang, Jia-Hua Lai, Cheng-Yun Tsai

Instructor: Cheng-Luen Hsueh

Site: Palazzo Delle Prigioni, Venice, Italy

Summer 2022

Through open solicitation, the exhibition captures the resilient response of the individual body to the island and the epidemic. It collectively demonstrates a practice of embodied resilience for the contact zone in Taiwan. The spatial installation creates a sensory motor of uncertainty and indeterminacy in response to the island contact zone's geopolitical ambiguity, instability, and uncertainty.

The E-ink electronic tag, as the primary carrier of the exhibition content, combines tradition and technology. Its materiality represents Taiwan's core strategic position as the world's chip and technology industry supply chain in geopolitical and epidemic crises. The relationship between Taiwan's technology and the world is presented through the images and information composed of "electronic movement" in the electronic paper. The charged black and white ink particles in the electronic paper are controlled to attract or repel the positive and negative electrodes, and the black and white charged particles flow between the upper and lower layers of the material to adjust the color displayed on the surface. They are transforming this tinyscaled mechanism into a back-and-forth illusion of black-and-white figureground, solid-void, and real-virtual Gestalt psychology effect.

Participatory Occupation

The exhibition is open to both live and online users, with a multiple-choice question, and the responses are presented in a changeable manner with text and graphics for an immediate interaction.

Concentric Circle of Moiré Pattern

There are multiple multi-layered concentric circle installations in the exhibition space. The multi-layered solid and void frames create the illusion of a moiré pattern between real and virtual. This strengthens the interaction between body movement and the installation, produces multi-level perception, and forms an abundant body-sensory-motor relational field. Moreover, there is a series of frames and framed images displayed by electronic paper tags on the space frame, presenting the soliciting of personal actions and practices with representative images, mainly in black and white images and text for the Taiwan island contact zone.

Detail of Electronic Tag

In addition to the text-reproduced description, the arrangement of the images in concentric circles installation presents various individuals' resilient experiences of various contact zone issues and produces three distinct points of view: from a still tripod; mechanically panning, tilting, or tracking; and handheld and freely moving to inspire more in-depth, dynamic montage, and relational measurements.

01 Street Exposition

Central Glass International Architectural Competition

Site: Tainan, Taiwan/ Summer 2021

The city is a sophisticated compound. During our days , we make choices all the time , such as the rout to work , the elevator we hop on. Such decisions may seem mundane and trivial, but changing people is like the butterfly effect. The direct yet profound connection between people has formed how space has been experienced, and the bond has created the perceptions of the crowd. City is the ultimate presentation of interpathetic space.

03 Chongqing Terminal

Evolo Skyscraper Competition

Site: Chongqing, China/ Winter 2021

The river is currently under control by numerous dykes. However, as the ambition of ultra-water management rises, the scale of newly settled dykes enlarges, challenging the limit of construction science. Once the water level can not be secured, the porting system and the livelihood of Chongqing city will be devastated. Our proposal is a transportation center collecting diverse transportation systems differing in vehicle, speed, and height, combining all into a vertical urban interface. Further than offering a field for the city to stretch its vitality, the terminal also helps to transform Chongqing to co-live with the uncertainty of rivers in the future.

02 Temporary& Permanent

NCKU Third Year Project-Hybrid Architecture Instructor: Maw-Chang Yen/ Site: Tainan, Taiwan/ Spring 2020

The houses in the lanes are built on existing structures. Through simple construction, the places create space with the neighbors on the left and the right. The houses get the sense of space ownership and the dignity of life through the auxiliary structures. Everything is between temporary and permanent, full of change and possibility. The new block plan incorporates future transportation development and responds to the base's temporary nature with flexible operational planning.

04 MOSO 101

NCKU Student Competition - First Prize Site: Shiyi District, Taipei, Taiwan/ 2021 Spring

Shiyi District is the outcome of dense urban planning, which has reached its peak. Fifty years later, we aim to optimize the urban environment around Taipei 101, accumulating cubic bamboo frames as a new urban interface. The mass of frames will expand towards nearby public facilities, creating a better semi-tropical urban environment. Short-term residential and public space will be added to the middle section of the building, covered by a bamboo structural facade system. The voids on the wavy elevation will serve as wind tunnels to alleviate wind resistance and lead the wind to public spaces within.

In order to inject new life into the abandoned space and to meet the demand for research and processing of wood, the structural system is reorganized in the reuse design. Continuing the values of "wood capital," the project is expected to serve as a center for the city's renewal and development of more than 6,000 wooden buildings.
