Taichung is a real "slow city.” Taichung presents two different types of slowness. Historical buildings, which can be found in the Central District and around the railway station, contribute to the “static slowness.” On the other hand, the new government buildbuild ings and residential blocks of Xitun District have created a “dynamic slowness.” In this project, I aim to present two different types of slowness. I tried to emphasize Taichung city’s two differdiffer ent atmosphere. One is static ruins; the other is community park. In my opinion, the semi-disused building is shaped into a ruin where people can relax. Moreover, there are new possibilities for repurposing old buildings. Also, transforming the temple form building into an open park and allowing people to enjoy the open expanse of the baseball field. After analyzing how to destroy the original baseball stadium to be a good ruin, I decided to create one community center to the original public area on the site.

Taichung City is a down-shifting city in Taiwan. There are two different types of down-shifting lifestyle in Taichung. They are Static Downshifting and Dynamic Downshifting. The static downshifting usually locates at the center of Taichung; also, the dynamic downshifting usually locates at the new Taichung city. In this site, the northside of the existing baseball stadium represents the Static Downshifting like a ruin. On the other hand, the south side of the existing park showcases the feeling of Dynamic Downshifting.

The image of Hua Guang Community
Elevated Village Program : Market + Housing + Temple Year : 2014 Fall Instructor : En-Yu Huang Location : Taipei, Taiwan Hua Guang is a neighborhood between the borders of Daan District and Zhongzheng District in Taipei City. The neighborhood has recently come into the spotlight due to contestations surrounding the city government’s plans for development. Neighborhood residents were forced to relocate with government assistance. In 2007, city officials revealed a vague plan to transform the neighborhood into Taiwan’s Wall Street. In 2012, the plan morphed into an emulation of Japan’s Roppongi—a cosmopolitan, popular area for nightlife and entertainment—but ultimately this development plan was housed in another district. A whole neighborhood was displaced for a vague vision that was never fully articulated or justified, and the bulldozed neighborhood stands empty and desolate, covered with tall grasses. I wonder if the government has any respect for its citizen’s right to housing. Traditional Roadside Market
Military Village
Temple
I found there are three important original programs in Hua Guang Community. In this project, I would like to keep these three important programs to make a mix-used social housing.

Elevating the mass to keep a good transparent circulation for the site and great segregation of private and public spaces.
Modify the angle of housing to provide a good view of it and make the market have the feeling of a traditional roadside market.
Program Strategy Housing
The community activity space is located below the residences;also, The elevated living platform separates the market and the residential space.
The residences are angled to avoid unpleasant views.
Temple
The temple and ladder combine to create a series of different spaces.
The temple is in a glass box, which allows for interaction between inside and outside.
Market
The structure of the market uses a truss conversion system; the triangular space creates spatial differentiations.
The market layout is designed to preserve old trees, and the shape follows the curve of these trees.

I provide three different public spaces to connect three different programs in this project. These plazas make the circulation and the spatial atmosphere more continuous and smoother.
The public plaza in the third floor gives residents better view and a division with the customer in the first and second floor.
Main entrance provides the opportunity to go to market, resturant, and temple.
The truss structure system makes a spatial difference between the market and the restaurant.

City Ripple Program : Theater + Exhibition + Roof Park Year : 2014 Fall Instructor : Chih-Yung Chiu Location : Taipei, Taiwan Gu-Ling street is located in the Zhongzheng District in Taipei City. It is known for its vintage and rare bookstores, and the lovers of literature that frequent them. In addition, the site is surrounded by various cultural and educational public facilities, which radiate a calm, sophisticated atmosphere. The coming and going of audience members creates an elegant throughout the built environment. I used the beautiful atmosphere to create the best architectural style. In addition, The traditional theaters are usually closed. People cannot really understand and feel the theater building; however, in this project, I want to remove this close atmosphere and try to make this theater to be an open park. Street View

The atmosphere around the site shows elegant and educated feelings. I would like to emphasize these feelings in my theater design, so I sketched some street views and make them abstract form. The most obvious element in these sketches is the wave line. I refine these lines to create the building’s shape; also, I input different functions to these line shapes.

REBUILD THE BRIDGE Program : Baseball Experience Space + Tea House + Community Center Year : 2019 Fall Group : Ting-Wei Shih, Lei Liu Instructor : Taiji Miyasaka
Baseball Museum
Before WWII, the immigrant from Japan started moving in Seattle or some big cities in the USA. Baseball is the main community tool between Japanese and Americans. At that time, many newspapers posted a lot of events about street baseball competition in Seattle. However, after WWII, Japan lost the war. The “baseball community” disappeared as well. In the project, we wanted to design a Japanese community center in Seattle to reconnect “the bridge” again.

Tea House
In the program of tea-drinking space, we studied the history of tea in Japanese. There are two different types of tea are usually drunk in Japan. In order to create an ideal experience space for these two types of tea. We used “tatami� to be the unit of tea-drinking space; and then, we separate two circulations to make visitors can have enough experience in tea exhibition.

Coasis Program : Research Center + Movable Space Year : 2020 Spring Instructor : Maryam Mansoori Location : Arizona State, USA Group Member : Ting-Wei Shih, Liu Lei, Pimchid Chariyacharoen In the desert, the oasis is a special space that can maintain and balance the temperature. It always locates in a lower area and surrounded by green plants. These trees with shadows and the water in the center also can keep the constant temperature. Moreover, the atmosphere around the site produces some mental issues. Students at the University of Arizona and Arizona State University and employees in Arizona Science Center face huge pressure from their assignments and works, so the existing building on the site provides a public space to drive these people to release their stress. Thus, the environment around the site is an open collaboration like an oasis.

Also, the intersection of the vertical axis and horizontal axis play important roles in determining the open or enclosed space.

The transformable elements are applied in the project for temperature-responsive skin and movable walls. First of all, the skin with shape memory material makes the building become an organic system. The shape memory material is a material that is changed from different environmental stimuli. In addition, the movable wall can accommodate different states from the requirement.

My House Program : Housing Year : 2014-2017 Location : Taichung, Taiwan This project is my own house in Taiwan. My father invited me to design our own house with him when I was a second-year architecture student. Because my father’s major is construction, so he hoped me can help him to design a house for us. In this project, I was assigned to study the program, facede design and style for this building. At that time, my father always asked me to discuss with him when he finished one version of plan. In that discussion, I provided some design ideas in this project; then he combined his professional skills in the construction to get a outcome for this building. Also, my father really like Feng Shui, so we studyed a lot of different plans to satisfy every Feng Shui rules in our house.
