2011-2017 SELECTED PROJECTS
BETWEEN THE PLACES “ It is about the process of absorbing different culture and returning to the local neighborhood”
“Between the Places” is a story which illustrates my designs in different periods during my undergraduate life. From proposing a project for a single building with the concept of a vending machine to proposing projects in foreign countries and finally tried to propose a project in the eariliest developed area of Taipei. To me, this portfolio is a preface of finding my own attitude to my hometown as a Taiwanese architecture student who lives in this diverse but energetic country. The first project “Heterotopia of Religion” is my thesis design which represents a historical path and connects the invisible city of religion to the real city. “Have you ever thought that the pilgrimage festivals which are only shown during specific time of the year but actually have a deep connection to our daily life“ is a question that I want to ask in this project. The second project “Green Up! Puerta del Sol” is a presentation of my experience in Madrid, a city having more than fifteen thousand bars. Every weekend, Madrid is like a huge bar in an urban scale. As a result, this project is adding more than three thousand portable chairs to the most famous square in Madrid, Puerta del Sol. The third project “Share Time, Share Lifestyle” is a proposal of a share housing in Tokyo city center. The concept of this shared housing is “Izakaya”, which is the Japanese style bar. We tried to connect several tiny spaces in this project by creating a wandering path inside this housing. The fourth project “Diversity Center” is an urban complex with the concept of vending machine. In order to reflect the diversity culture of Tamsui. The elevation of this building is called “Moving Elevation,” which offers possibilities for this building to interact with Tamsui by using multimedia.

“ How to connect the religion city to our city in daily time ? ” About During the period of pilgrimage festival in Taiwan, the city which we live in connect to the invisible city of religion. In this time people celebrate and work together with one belief. It is similar to any religious festivals in Europe. For example, Las Fallas in Valencia, Spain. All of these festivals are supported by the power of faith. In my point of view, this is the time when city`s culture is presented directly. Therefore, how to transfer these specific time into our daily time is the mail idea of this project. Sociologist Emile Durkheim said that “If religion has given birth to all that is essential in society, it is because the idea of society is the soul of religion" in the Elementary Forms of the Religious Life. He believes that religion is a representation of society. Aa a consequence, I tried to find the composition of pilgrimage and the connection between the festival and daily time. Tataocheng is not only the historical area of Taipei but also one of the most important religion neighborhoods in Taiwan. Its hierarchy of religion facilities can be realized as a religion city which includes four main temples, five border temples, and eight folk clubs. These facilities have played an important role in the development of Taipei. However, because of rapid urbanization in the past four decades, this invisible city`s track has gradually disappeared. In addition, Tataocheng faces the problem of urban decay recently. So, the propose of this design is not only to preserve the culture but also propose a new idea for urban renewal.

Five border temples in Tataocheng
The religion city of Tataocheng is built up by eight folk clubs, five border temples, and four main temples. This city has a very clear hierarchy and organization. The site is located in the center of this religion city. 500 meters distance is best distance when people consider urban planning. As a result, I stuck to this idea when I figured out the religion city in Tataocheng.
Jiou Jian Zai Street historical path
All routes of pilgrimage festival are inside the border which is composed by the five border temples in Tataocheng. The middle one is the most important factor. Every route passes this point during the pilgrimage, and sometimes even more than once . In this section, the folk gods called “Seventh Lord and Eighth Lord”, and “lion dance troupe “will join the pilgrimage procession.

SEQUENCE “ It is a proportion of pilgrimage, and is a living meseum or a huge park during daily time. ” Concept The organization of a pilgrimage procession is very complex that each proportion of this gather in different places around the city. As a result, the project is not only a space for showcase but also a part of pilgrimage festival. In addition to being a part of pilgrimage, the design is a living museum or a park during daily time.
Site 1 / Lobby Before the pilgrimage festival start, every folk club gathers in this area, which is the center of religion city of Tataocheng. Some equipment for pilgrimage is showcased in each towers in this site, which include holy flags, and holy generals.

The cross in front of the temple is the most important node is this area. It is not only the center but also the compulsory route of pilgrimages. As a result, in the right side of this area is designed to as a square, which can serve the ceremonies of pilgrimage. The left side is where the most buildings in this area are located.

BRIDGE
“ Above the historical path, this bridge is a new layer for pilgrimage. It is also a gate image of religion city� Urban stage This stage is above the main east-west avenue of Taipei city, Minsheng west road. Because this road connects to the nearest MRT station from Tataocheng, it is also the main entrance of Tataocheng for tourist. This section is designed to be a gate of Tataocheng area.
Lanterns / Pilgrimage stairs In Taiwanese folk culture, lantern has the meaning of prayers. The number of lanterns of the temple shows how prosperous the temple is in Taiwan. Therefore, in one part of the bridge, a lantern area is designed.

In order to create an open space for passersby, a large and wide stair is located in the middle of the bridge. Temples usually have stairs in front of its` main gate, where is a small pilgrimage process. In addition, this stair is located between inseparable contexts, so this open space also creates an unexpected experience for tourists who walk along this street.
Firecracker cage

Firecracker is an essential element during the pilgrimage festival in Taiwan. However, firecracker created some problems for the neighberhood. The biggest issue is noise, hence, a firecracker cage is designed. It offers a concentrated place for firecrackers which not only can make the scene of explosion more powerful, but also limited the problem of noisy to a certain area.

“ Along the historical path, these facilities are designed for different events during the pilgrimage” 1.Holy palanquins storage The shortage of storage space for holy palanquins has become very serious in Tataocheng due to the urbanization in the past decades. Hence, a huge storage is designed on this meaningful path. This storage can showcase six holy palanquins from the temples around here. This does not only solve the lack of space but also presented the art of holy palanquins to the public instead of keeping them in the warehouse.
2. Stove loop Although burning joss paper is a traditional ceremony in Taiwanese folk religion, it causes the problem of air pollution in our city. Instead of removing this meaningful ceremony, the idea is to gather the joss paper and burn it in a well-equipped stove loop which can reduce air pollution.
3. Kitchen / Pergolas Pergola plays an important role in many Taiwanese folk activities, include bando, wedding, and religion ceremony. This area is designed for supplying meal for the pilgrimage procession. Due to this reason, the pergola is the best structure in this area. The culture of “Bando”, which is a Taiwanese style outdoor party, is a ceremony presenting how tremendous the festival is. [ Kitchen pergolas ]

About Tokyo is one of the busiest city in the world. People who live in this city have a fast-tempo and pressure life. “Izakaya”, which is a Japanese style bar, is very popular in this city. People usually go to Izakaya after work to relax. As a result, if we can bring this atmosphere back to their home, people can have more time to relax and communicate with others. A stroll path is designed in this project which plays an important role in this shared housing. This path connects all of the social spaces through the building from ground to roof. The site locates in an eye-catching point and is an interface of commercial area and residential area. We want to create a shared housing that not only private but also open to passerbys. In consequence, half of the stroll path and most of the social spaces are designed on the main elevation of this housing which response to our concept “Share Time, Share Lifestyle”.

The function of social space in this house is decided by the height. The lower proportion is public and changes gradually to private. In addition, all of these spaces are on the elevation to share to the public.
In order to let each resident units have access to the green, green spaces in this house are designed on the higher proportion, which is the main part of the living area.
The main structure system is composed by two walls which are on the left and right side of the site. The walls inside these two walls are secondary structure due to creating the agility of space.
The required escape route in this house is designed on the left side. By doing this, a wandering path can be created wriggly.

In 2030, Fehmarn Link is planned to operate which connects Denmark and Germany. Although Fehmarn Link is 2 hours’ drive from Copenhagen, it will connect Mainland Europe`s high-speed train route to Copenhagen. In addition to road and railway, air transportation is also expected to bring more visitors to Copenhagen in the next decades. When the new line of the metro opens in 2019 even more cyclists, using this part of the system as an interchange as they travel in and out of the city, will need somewhere to leave a bike.At the same time, the capacity at Copenhagen Central Station reaches its maximum. Compare to other two busiest stations, many developments around the central station are planned to be built in the future which will bring a significant number of people. The infrastructure of the central station already crows today and it will become much worst two years later when the metro is built. Copenhagen is known as the most liveable city in the world, but its infrastructure is not designed for growing population. Hence, a new style infrastructure must be created to deal with the future challenge to keep the city livable.

For example, Osaka Unmada station and Tokyo station are the typical style of how a station deals with increasing numbers of the population. However, Copenhagen is facing the same challenge but different scale of population. A speed grid system is created to define different activities and users in this expansion project. The view what people can see is changed by the speed which is activities. Because of the speed, the idea of frame per second view plays an important role in this project which defines the radius of curve and height.

This site is the gate of Tamsui, a normal office building stands here, but this site deserves more. As a result, the concept of vending machine is used to develop this project. To me, vending machine is the object that combines the function of display and product. This site is the beginning of the travel of Tamsui`s history, which is one of the most diverse areas in Taiwan. In addition, it is the first impression of Tamsui to the visitors who come by MRT. Therefore, in this office building companies can work and publicize their creativities to visitors at the same time.

Lounge chair Band
Collage
About Madrid is known as a passionate and romantic city. Puerta del Sol is the most well-known place in the city. Vibrant street performers, excited tourists, and multi-ethnic people are on this square. However, due to security reasons and crowded, Puerta del Sol, became a place just for passing or meeting with a tense atmosphere. As a result, I tried to imagine that there will be a huge grass area on Puerta del Sol and all the people will sit on. All of the people sit there will enjoy performances and feel Puerta del Sol`s diversity. In addition, as time pass by the seats on Puerta del Sol will be moved by people to all around Madrid. In that day, Puerta del Sol will become the center of these seats, Madrid will become a city full of the atmosphere of relax.

“Re-Organize the Activities on the Square by Three Different Scale � Organize The square`s activities have a clear pattern surrounding the objects on the square includes metro exits and fountains. These elements provide the resting place for people which are the function of the chair. Therefore, providing as many chairs as possible is the first step in this design. Based on the area of Puerta del Sol, I decided to add 3000 chairs into this square. Thus, how to arrange these chairs is the next step. In order to arrange these chairs, I classified the activities on this square into three categories. The first is small scale such as sitting and waiting, the second is medium scale such as buskers. The last one is large scale like band or tabacco vendors. All of these types of activities can correspond to the three different types of chairs which are designed in this project.

Medium scale cluster This cluster focuses on the relationship between buskers and pedestrians. As a result, I combine the small and medium size of stages in this cluster which can allow the different kinds of performance.
Large scale cluster This group has the biggest scale element in this project which including an iconic building in the middle of this square.

About
About
In order keep this forum ongoing, arranging this forum in an interesting way was the biggest task for us. In addition, the intention of this forum is to increase the interaction between the architecture schools which are in Taipei. It took us almost half year to organize this student forum, which was the very first one in Taiwan. The challenge for us was how to negotiate with each student associations and apply the subsidy from the university.
This exhibition design was the first design that interact with people in reality for us. From planning to construct and was the major challenge for us. Controlling the budget between the reality and the ideal of design was always a hard decision for me. Without any shortcut for these problems, communicating and negotiating were the best way to solve the problem. How to convince companies to offer a financial assistance to us was the task for our team.
