PREFACE Metapixel In the early 21 century, digital equipments and the internet information have changed the architecture in a lot of aspects. For example, in the 2008 Olympic Games, there’s a pixel wave performed by men. Thousands of cubic boxes have created a magnificent picture. I was shocked by the power of this image. It reminds me that the architecture is built by small bricks and pieces as well. In addition, these cubic boxes are also related to the radical three dimension. It is as same as the Jigsaw Puzzle, LEGO bricks, and Rubik’s Cube. There is a relationship of this portfolio. Take the design for example, from 7x7x7 Living Box, TFAM Affiliated Library, to the Binary Interface of the thesis design. I’ve found the continuity of my thoughts are all related to cubic solutions. It was not only come from the concept and the analysis, strategy, and forming, but also come from the proportion, the prototype, and personal aesthetics. This is the Metapixel which has a superior meaning above all.

To build or not to build
From handmade reality to digital virtual reality / In between the transition and insistence In the basic architectural training, the 1st and 2nd grade, the ability of conceptual thinking and basic skill has reached certain level. During the 3rd & 4th grade, students started to cope with several special issues of architecture and urbanism. In the second semester of 4th grade, students even have the opportunity to experience the space through the body. Also, through the study of action art and the land art to recognized the latent power of the space. In the mean time, I had opportunities of internship to work in the architectural office during summer and winter vacations. I deeply shocked by the differences of values between work field and school’s education. It started from the development of theme to the final work. The thesis design of the 5th grade is a self-completed process. The teacher gave students an unlimited framework. In addition, teachers all do their best to help students to develop their own thoughts. Keep trying, and even break through our own mind. This is an important turning point, and it’s also an important moment of viewing ourselves. I have always believed that the thesis design should not duplicate the same operation over these four years of architectural study. During the previous four years, I have joined several term-time works and the experience of construction. I have seen many boundaries that cannot get rid of. The thesis design should be the process of thoughts and an ambitious attempt rather than a repeated and stuffy operation. I have also believed that the thesis design is a chance to imagine an innovative architectural space. To discuss the possibility what the architectural space can be. It might be the only chance to make a difference. Therefore, I’ve made the decision of exploring the unknown, imagining the future, and even a breakthrough of the architecture. At the moment, the trend of contemporary architecture changed from a static space, such as Tadao Ando, to all kinds of dynamic spaces, such as digital architecture, code & form, Cyber space, and virtual issue. I have learned the digital statistics of MVRDV, and the digital architecture of the la Biennale di Venezia. Also, I have viewed a lot of digital experiments by architectural schools. This is something I am not familiar with, and I am full of passion. Thus, I boldly tried to discover the field of digital architecture, attended several lecture about the history of digital development. I tried to understand the relationship between digital technology and our daily life, what will happen, how it affects to the design. It even could change the approach to the architecture. It needs time to achieve this goal. It also requires a lot of minute clues to piece together. Logically, it’s not linear. Instead, it’s searching for every small piece to make it a bigger picture. There is no the starting point and the end point. It has to use lines to link every points and faces to build a complete and coherent thesis. I have chosen the Reality and Virtual Reality among the digital issues. Thus, I asked a question that “Is it possible that the R & V can exist together?” The term of the Virtual Reality is that everything we have experienced through the digital technology. Obviously, It has already changed our life style, and it has changed the meaning of the real space. The most impressive thing is that my thesis instructor, Professor K.C. Bee, who told me that “if you want to discuss the Virtual Reality, there will be no Reality, and there will be no constructions and tectonics.” If the construction and the physical environment are no longer exist. What the design can be? What else can we do to discuss the architecture? Whether the R & V can exist together? If it does, what’s the possibility in between? The Binary Interface which is a visualized virtual space that could transform the internet information into computer language “0” and “1”. In addition, I have discussed the issue of virtual religion and the gathering of people. I created a virtual church as a test sample, tried to proof that the logic is reasonable. Despite the thesis design is a pure virtual discussion, once a virtual platform is available. I believe that it will make the influence to the Reality. If that’s so, the reality is not what we can control of, and that’s not the main point of the virtual category. However, it remains an opportunity to have a further discussion. In the end, I sincerely hope that through this crucial change of my architectural study. It will be a continue value, and keep improving. I hope that someday the R and V will be truly put into practice of our daily life. 4

BINARY INTERFACE Collaboration of the internet space / Thesis Design 6
Receiving invitation from the ETAT lab media competition http://lab.etat.com/
COLLABORATION
Seeing Collaborated Informational Space / Instructor, K.C. Bee The thesis design is driven by two clear intentions. Number one, what might happen and may impact architecture in the era of internet? I am not challenging anything that exists. I try to deal with new experiences and new issues to decipher architecture in its updated context. Number two, I try to understand what’s the fundamental means of media architecture, for example: a theater, a library, a Museum etc.
The concept of virtual connections
With new available technology, we may live with virtual events and experiences without missing much. Therefore, I boldly assume that digital architecture is necessary. As part of the process, I take religion as a subject matter, being viewed as a form of informational exchange. Digital church is the tester where people “get together”, discussing and examining their own or others life. Internet is a powerful tool of gathering people. It has the quality of Synergy and Collaboration. The project is a visual interpretation of these qualities; a visual disclosure of the composite relationship among people. As a result, I created a digital interface space of IP (Internet Protocol), and translated the exchanged information into binary digits (digital language). Then I transformed the compound information onto the internet to visualize the connections and the interactions. In the end, I have to say honestly that the doubt of the exercise being “architectural” never ends in my mind during the entire process. It is not a process of building, it is a process of finding a new approach to the unknown architecture. Indeed, the project does relax many of my logics, and offer me a brand new dimension to understand the “real” world. Reference: The World Is Flat, Thomas Loren Friedman Chapter 2 – The ten forces that flattened the world 1. Netscape: Netscape and the Web broadened the audience for the Internet from its roots as a communications medium used primarily by ‘early adopters and geeks’ to something that made the Internet accessible to everyone from five-year-olds to eighty-five-year olds. 2. Workflow software: The ability of machines to talk to other machines with no humans involved. Friedman believes these first three forces have become a “crude foundation of a whole new global platform for collaboration.” 3. Open sourcing: Communities uploading and collaborating on online projects. Examples include open source software, blogs, and Wikipedia. Friedman considers the phenomenon “the most disruptive force of all.”

ANALYSIS OF CITY FORMAT
Current blocks of Taipei city / The range of analysis This area is separated by two rivers and mountains
From the analysis of city blocks to the regeneration of canal parks / Instructor, Ho-Ping Chueh Ever since Taipei city has been planed, there were a lot of small villages along with the river. The other land is been used as farms, following the rule of Netherlands, Ching dynasty, Japanese, and ROC. Government came. Taipei city has been built under several different political powers. As a result, it has developed layers of fabrics and the content nowadays. Through the perspective of history, it reflects the development of blocks and roads of Taipei city. By analyzing how it affects different types of the uses and the urban fabrics. In addition, it is also the progress between new and old, and the verge of the city itself. The verge has been covered again and again. Characters of different blocks are very distinctive. Also, there are a lot of old Canals, railroads, roads, were covered by grids of road systems. However, some of them are still remaining the old fabrics. The mixing fabrics have formed the city until now. There is an example that the Market St. in San Francisco which separates two grid’s systems. Thus, it creates several triangle spaces such as parks, squares, subway entrances, etc. Therefore, the subject is to find that if there is any similar event happens in Taipei city. If it does, what can we do to them? The urban context that I have reasearched is Taipei City. The primary goal of this design project try to discover how fabrics affected the urban spaces and then re-program these spaces and set a new perspective of the urban interpretation.
Map of San Francisco There is a case in San Francisco. A grid with two directions merged on the Market street. So, it has created several triangle spaces. These spaces have multiple use, such as parks, retails, parking lots, etc.
The picture of initial period in Taipei city
The design uses the study of topology to analyze Taipei city to see if there is same kind of space caused by different block systems. And then find out what can be done to these special urban spaces. Triangle spaces Market street, San Francisco

Final model program generated by its neighbor
The design try to link several crucial lines, axis, blocks, and multiple activities inside this neighborhood. Thus, It has connected several events, such as the play ground of kindergarten, the library and square for inhabitants, the shelters for vendors, the police office for the dark area, and gardens for those ancient farmers. 33
AFFILIATED LIBRARY OF TAIPEI FINE ARTS MUSEUM Convert solid to void / Second place Requirements TFAM is the most important contemporary museum in Taipei city. It is situated next to the ZhongShan arts park. However, the scale of this park is so big and no activities inside. Due to the roads and the wall of MP’s headquarter have cut the connection between park and outside environment. There is a small library on the basement inside the museum, but it is not big enough to full fill the increasing need of books. As a result, the new library is needed. The library will be put inside the park as an affiliated library to create activities and let more people come to this area.

The back elevation of Taipei Fine Arts Museum
Conceptual development The original site is a huge art park, and the Taipei Fine Arts Museum is very distinctive inside this area. The museum is a stack of orthogonal rectangle boxes. Therefore, I try to make this square follow the logic of the museum. In the end, the museum, the library, and the green area will form a square in the center facing the main street.

Volume studies
Because of the volume of the Taipei Fine Arts Museum is stacked by rectangular boxes. As a result, it has created a lot of solid spaces and void spaces. The library is a huge rectangular box as well. So, it needs light for reading. Therefore, the design has converted the solid into void, in order to let the light go into the volume of the library. Then, the volume has been cut by the void, and voids are arranged by different programs. The cutting spaces are also play the role of dividing the programs. So, people will feel an opposite experience between the Taipei Fine Arts Museum and the Affiliated Library. 35

The site is not small. Thus, the is design separated into four squares with different height level. Also, they are separated by the TFAM and the new Affiliated Library. In addition, the triangle main square has opened a space for the main avenue. It makes people to get more accessibility to the Library. Finally, the museum and the library have both created several public spaces around themselves. 37

Solid & void The volume of the affiliated library is opposite to the museum, Therefore, the size and its void are also related to the museum. This concept started from even two parts. Then separated into two blocks, which formed a public space in between.
This is a panoramic view in front of the main elevation. This is the first sight of the people who come from the Metro station. There is a bridge connects the TFAM and the Affiliated Library. Thus, they have created a frame of the sky. Furthermore, they form a spare which facing the main avenue to let people walk inside easily.

Model of the inner space
The bridge that connects the museum has streched into the library. Thus, the interior space has been separated into two parts. The left part is for the reading, office and storage of books. The right part is for the atrium, corridors, platforms, entrance, and the void spaces. When walking inside the lobby, there will be several void spaces above. Those void spaces are the special spaces for reading and discussing. There is a lower square on the basement level, where people can also walk between the museum and the library. The purpose of this lower square is for outdoor reading or exhibition. People will not hear or see the cars or lots of people pass by. There’ll be several trees which provide the shadow a cooler reading environment.

The design has followed the concept of the solid and void to operate the space. It has to be considered by the different programs. Because of the different uses of the spaces, it has created different proportion of voids. The void is not only exists in the library, but also surround the volume of the library. The observatory window is an extension symbol of the window of Taipei Fine Arts Museum. Because of the window is an extension from the museum, it has become the only volume that protrude out of the library.

It was a silent street, however, because of the development of the city. The nature has been gradually covered by artificial constructions. The only gateway towards the nature is the port area along the river. The sound of tide keep hitting the shore, which reminds people that this little town is originated from the Tamsui River.
Motivation
The port of Tamsui River has a long history. In the past, here was a village of fishing, facing the inner street. Now, it has transformed into a commercial town facing the river side. However, new commercial activities have broken the quiet shore. People can no longer listen to the sound of tide along the river. Which has been taken place by the gaming sound along the street. People have been forgotten listen to the sound of nature.
Requirement
The boarding is a direct process. Therefore it needs an intermediary space for waiting and boarding. It also needs a shelter and a bigger place for passangers. 48

The concept of the Azimuth of sun light The analysis is the factor of the sun because the importance of its vertical use. The space is developed by the sun light.
Shih Chien University is famous by its design college. It has combined several departments inside, such as Architecture, Communications Design, Industrial Design, and Fashion Design. The college requires a new studio for the multiple use. It’s important to have a vertical connection between each program. 0

Concept were developed by Le Corbusier / First place and scholarship Free plan / Independent structure
Vertical Concept
Once the structure has been set, walls are no longer played the role of the load-bearing wall. All elements such as walls, columns, and floors are independent. They don’t have the vertical relationships between each floor. Thus, walls are freely developed by programs.
The theme of family Insert a darkroom for the photographer When the free plan and the free structure have been set, it formed an atrium for the exhibition. A darkroom is at the center of the space, with a circular system around. Rooms were defined by walls which are independent and isolated, and defined by the space program.
First, I gave the floor an extra structure, thus the floor can be seperated from the structual wall.
Darkroom Plan
Horizontal Concept
With the extra structure, the plan have a long and thin opening around. 54
Secondly, insert interior walls to define rooms and spaces.
The interior walls are separated from columns and define the spaces.
Thirdly, the interior walls can be separated from each floor without the structural function.
Finally, the floors have its liberty and the variety of its height.
Walls have varieties of its shape, and defined the spaces.
There is an opening on the floor. It gives a connection to another floor.

The pathway is surrounded by the core. The stairs have played the role of window shades which minimized the light come from the east side. The bedroom of parents is situated on the first floor, which is separated from the child’s room on the third floor. Therefore, there is no problem of the privacy. There are two restrooms for both parents and the child, and one restroom is for the wash of the photos. The working table for child is on the third floor, and the darkroom for parents is on the second floor next to the living room. Also, the wall in the atrium can be used for the exhibition of the photography. The dining room and the kitchen is on the first floor where provides the family and guests gather together. The hole on the wall allows the dining room and the kitchen being linked together.

1. Classification of store types
2. Elements of Betel nut’s architecture
The pages are the research of the Betel nuts which is among seven kinds of Taipei “debris“. The reason why it called debris is because that these seven kinds of nomad cultures are illegal in Taiwan. These culture are also called “informal construction“. So, these people have to move frequently just as same as nomad people. However, the people have lived in this way for a very long time. That’s why the book try to find out what are the stories of these “cultural debris“. There are four major things about the betel nuts. 1. the Classification of store types. 2. Elements of Betel nut’s architecture. 3. Collection of images. 4. Statistics & distribution. The purpose of this book try to gather all the information of this cultural debris. It is because there are no such studies of it. This kind of events have been abandoned by people, especially for architect. This information can help us to understand how it exists among our life.
3. Collection of images of Betel nut stores
4. Statistics & distribution of Betel nut stores
The selling of Betel nuts has changed the image of the city in a very short time. It’s like the way of “parasitism“, and it keeps growing up. 61

Thus, these two bridges have both created a space in between. This space is the main sight of the entrance. Also, there’s a movie festival at night, people will go through the bridge. Therefore, our team tried to connect these two bridges, to minimize the gap between the differences of its height. Our team have to find the way to tie up ropes by our own hands. The design is also led by teacher Marco Casagrande(Finland). Who is well known in the field of installation art and performance art.
