With my interest in architectural and environment design, I participated in the Architectural Association Taiwan project Global School in 2013. Instead of observing an environment by only conventional data analysis, our team analyzed how the various type of industries utilize the largest river in the center of Taiwan, the Dajia River; we assess the possibilities to prevent the rural decline.

I was able to further understand that when discussing the value of a land, one needs to reexamine the societal transformations, such as climate change, industry structure change, and demographic transition. When above issues are clearly observed, one could have innovative visions and cultivate a unique yet delicate design for sustainable planning. e work camp made me wonders, how could I select a prototype and structure in this rapidly changing environments, then operate these potential systems as the basis, to design relationships that would apply to future sustainable planning. I believe exible design approach of the environment, is the way to establish the local identity.
