“When you are standing on a flat, nothing happens. There is no brain activity. On the oblique, you have feelings; you feel a force when climbing and euphoria during the descent.� Claude Parent

26


02 Climb in the city Ramp and Camp Individual project & study Area | 6400 m² The aim of this project is to create a space in front of the existing building and use different degrees of ramp to link the surrounding neighborhood. The design is to connect some of the sidewalk in front of existing buildings and aid different objects as accessories of existing building; by using ramps with different degree of slopes to bridge them.

27


Is it possible to create a mountain climbing process in the city? When one climbs the mountain, one can feel nature. But we rarely question what exists in front of us. When you use the body to climb, you look forward to seeing the mountain scenery on reaching the top. For me, leisure is a period of blank time that comes after concentrating on the task at hand. This ‘blank time’ is out of context; out of our routine; like the breeze on the peak; like a view of the endless land. These can be felt only when you arrive at the peak. In the city, the roofs of the buildings are similar to the top of the mountain, but they belong to individuals and are physically disconnected. During the kite festival, in Ahmedabad, we climb higher and higher with our kites wishing them to fly further away. People only look at the sky; in this moment all of the terraces seem to connect together to become one –the individuals share space with the public.

03 Wandering Mode Free Admission Individual project & BA Thesis Area | 3200 m² This project is divided into two parts. In the beginning, I was trying to solve the living problem for waste pickers. I made a mobile shelter so that they could have a temporary dwelling. The second part is rethinking the contemporary public space. Thinking about how to create a public space where can be adapted to everyone including waste pickers.

43


Introduction In a prosperous city, waste pickers today can be found easily. They provide an unusual contrast to the busy people. For waste pickers, everything is no arrangement. They wander on the streets and roads, and they look around the trash nearby. Different than salaried people, waste pickers don't have a certain direction, such as an aimless vagabond. This phenomenon creates great contrast which was made me pay attention on them inadvertently. After working with a number of waste pickers, they made me truly explore the city and see it in this perspective: “One could understand society by understanding the waste material.� This project is divided into two parts. In the beginning, I was trying to solve the living problem for waste pickers. I made a mobile shelter so that they could have a temporary dwelling.

Waste pickers at risk In Feng Chia University Night

Market, Taichung, Taiwan, there are many waste pickers walking on the street. They picked waste materials until early morning. In the next day, they walk to the recycle center to sell the waste materials they picked the night. Wa s t e p i c k e r s c o n t r i b u t e t o development of environmental sanitation, while they also bring a series of social problems for city administration. For instance, they occupy the road to tidy up the waste materials causing accidents to happen frequently. Some waste pickers struck by vehicle; therefore,

Trolley The trolley is an essential accessory for waste pickers. They do everything with this trolley, such as eating, sleeping and working, etc. The container of trolley should be large enough to carry all the trash. I spent six months walking closely with different waste pickers, meeting them and talking to them. The waste material they pick on the street all look alike, yet the trolley looks various: different styles, different sizes and different ways of combination. In the course of time and specific situation, trolleys were composed to the last but would only be modified depend in using demand. The trolley transforms to the unique form. Every model of trolley is represented a different waste picker.

Detachable trolley

Since about half of the waste picker population does not have a specific residence, they wander in the city as their home. Trolley is all they own.

Mobile Shelter Urban city

Gathering trolley + Repose place This is a shelter that can move in the city. It also can be a mobile studio that helps a waste picker to tidy up the waste materials on the street. They could find a temporarily location, such as under-highway, a house back alley, or side of railroad and set up their shelters. Moreover, the shelter has a basic trolley that can be detach from the device (mobile

Re - Thinking "Desires are making cities to have autism."

I don't know whether or not focusing on waste pickers can improve their truly life. Architecture is not individual service; it is a public service for everyone. Each person has the right to feel free in any public space. Nowadays, hierarchical society causes people competing to each other. As cities become more developed, public spaces are becoming commercial. Built a building often imply a symbol of wealthy. Therefore, the capital cities are full of skyscrapers. People climb higher in order to watch the pattern of city where they are living. It is a transition from desire to authority because people want to approach a higher class of living. The bourgeoisie has not disappeared, it has merely changed form. I am thinking about that building into the ground is another way to balance hierarchy. A desired hole that everyone can see clearly. A hole for whole society.

54


For the waste pickers, although they can't earn enough wage for life, but the biggest contradiction is they have lost confidence in gregariousness.

55


56


City Hole - from sky into the ground I spent most of my time in understanding the whole society in which I worked. After working with a number of waste pickers, they made me truly explore the city and the true purpose for architecture. What is a great public space? This project does not have a set program. All the events on the street has become the parameter of design. The purpose for the building is to serve the entire society. I, liked a waste picker, started wandering the streets. I gathered something I wanted, just like a tramp sitting on the roadside, and watched the people hurrying to and fro. Everywhere could be your observation. During the wandering time, I was given a deep impression. The society provides a clue to what is successful public space in the city. Streets in Taiwan have the potential to re-think the basic purpose of public space. Great public space should not pick users. It's suitable to everyone.

57


Feng Chia University night market - model of public space The traditional street in Taiwan is ambiguous, especially the domain of Feng Chia University night market. Massive tourists visit here every day. FCU night market has been referred to the essential shopping attraction in Taiwan. On the weekend, the heavy traffic has become a serious problem in this area. The street is occupied by the vendors to do business. It is also filled with vehicles and tourists. I witnessed the extraordinary spectacle every day, but I have never felt uncomfortable. I was fascinated to figure out the inner contradiction

The Street is similar to the theater. The only difference is the street displays reality without Post-oduction.

Look for Real / trash and events

“One could understand society by understanding the waste material.� I had analyzed the waste materials in order to infer the evidence of activities. Different from waste picker, I am an event picker. I walked on the street and recorded everything I see. In my opinion, architect is similar to the waste picker, the city is a recycling center, and architect tidy up the events and reorganize them.

User / Mode The street is made for public-use so that different groups can occupy the same place at different times of the day. Therefore, some new spaces appear with modification when the user is doing specific activity on the street. The street has been transferred to another program. Six programs have created six modes on one cyclical day, but the modification can be like it never existed. In other words, even if the street was used by different groups, it could seem like it had never been occupied. These events are temporary. The space would be reverted to normal street after using, restored to the empty street. A - adding

Waste pickers created an additional space near the street boundary. The street was begun to expand. If the street skin could be ripped and pulled, the vertical street is a possibility in the building.

When the vendor was doing business on the street, it had been eroded into some extra spaces. Can you image this is occurred under the ground? In this mode, I am thinking about placing waste pickers working studio under the street. It's a space under the ground, such

If a row of taxis were parked roadside, it will definitely cause traffic jam. Fast and exclusive passageway is n e c e s s a r y. T h e s e r v i c e passageway cannot disappear in the public space. I have created a service connection between space and space. Users can make effectual 66

When the truck open the back door, the space of cargo could be seen clearly. Folder is when someone makes some physical movement, extra space will appear. Cave hotel is what I image. It is important people care private and public space in the hotel. If people open the door to a hotel room, it

Ramp implies a sustainable situation. It keeps someone in movement. Not only can the ramp produce continuous connection, but also the ramp provide accessible environment in the public space.

Direction made people understand where they are supposed to go. But shoppers' locations are unpredictable. The general building was held up with strong columns in the commercial area. It is easy to confuse the direction. In this case, I try to make slanted

The new face for the building When massive media appear in front of one's eyes, more and more people were forced to read the message, and the reality will be replaced. People would rather to believe these repeated messages, and not to find out the truth. Likewise, if exterior wall became the best advertising, we probably forgot the certain face of building before. Buildings have had a new facade, and the interior of a building also had new style. For instance, the window becomes a superfluous accessory. Indoor and outdoor began to blurred.

This is an unfinished design, the process of research made me realize two realities. One is body, another is society.

Between the mountain Construction /2016 summer

In Taiwan, Metal Corrugate Wall Sheet is a normal material that is used in rural. It is also used in the mountain regions where it is difficult to reach, due to the adjustable qualities of the wall sheet it can be used to build quickly. We were given an assignment to renew the existing building in remote mountain region. The original building structure was made by steel. We were thinking about how to preserve the integrity of the natural land and basic structure as much as possible.

83


The house was sited at remote mountain in the Xinshe Township, Taichung, Located in the hillside. There is a small trail that extends to the valley below. In 10 minutes, you can reached tributaries of Dajia River. Unfortunately, it has been contaminated.

Metal corrugate wall sheet

The building was to respond to the site’s topography, aspect and environment. The entrance site is on higher ground, with a gentle slope leading down to a flat field with various native trees. A house of two stories is located in front of field. The plan is to follow the hillside slope, so we created a new entry ramp to connect the building. Different than the normal two-storeyed house, we shift the space program between lower-level and upper-level.

site plan

The second storey is the primary shared communal space, and it includes the living area and kitchen. The central has been placed a stair down to the ground floor. The lower-level plan is a simple living room, divided into three distinct volumes, master suite, tea room, and bathing pool.

84


The one spatial constraint was to be able to ascend from the entrance topography to upper-level.

Each project requires new and challenging methods for building, and each one must have great client support. Building into the mountain always brings negative criticism. We currently have no way to construct buildings without damaging the environment. Decreasing the interference is what we struggle to do. People can't stop building; but at least we maintain passion a n d r e sp e c t to experience the environment until find the suitable way with nature.
