PROJECTS
Mandarin
Daily News Tower
newspaper headquarter + education center + bookstore
Mandarin Daily News is well-known as an important press and educational organization founded at 1947, which specialize in teaching children about Chinese culture and language.
As its new building, the project was expected to maintain its image under the concept of the Song Dynasty landscape printings. It could hence emphasize the connection between natural elements and urban environments. In the meantime, it would be a 19 story modern skyscraper, offering a friendly atmosphere to the neighborhood.
As the chief designer of the project, I was in charge of all the works of schematic design and detailed development, including the concept development, regulation analysis, consultants communication and the documentation production.

Dazhi Sports Mall
sports facilities + shopping mall + movie theaters
Dazhi Sports Mall is a project invested by various corporations from different fields, consisting land developers, retail developers, movie theater companies and sports companies. Such combination will no doubt bring very special and complicated requirements to the project.
After several discussions between our design team and the stakeholders, we finally make an agreement: The project shall come out as a new type of shopping mall - a theme center accommodating with retails, movie theaters, restaurants, education, and back-up services for sports fans. The design will be based on a concept of a stacking city of various independent functionalities. There will be a continuous circulation that leads people to go everywhere.
As a leading designer, my challenges would be how to communicate with the various clients to obtain a common proposal that could reach the final goal.
Yongli
Food Village
parking lots + restaurants + temporary market spaces
It is a project located in one of the most crowded urban area, where it requires a public space with high accessibility for the neighborhood.
However, the site is actually a parking lot at the moment. We will have to keep the present parking lot, and add something to bring busy life to the neighborhood. Restaurants, food courts and market places would be the priority for this project.
To assure the project would come to a satisfactory result, we will move the parking lot to the upper floors, and leave the ground floor for public use. To provide sufficient air and light to the ground floor we design a spiral parking system with an atrium.
My job in the project is to take charge of all the works on the stages of the schematic design and detail development.

Far Eastern Xinyi A13
Shopping Mall
retails + movie theaters + restaurants + office
Xinyi A13 shopping mall, a mixed-use urban complex, consisting of a shopping mall, theaters and offices, is considered as one of the biggest project in Taipei at the moment. This project is designed by a team of 10-15 designers, who are planning to make it an tourist destination with a nostalgic Taiwanese alley on the 4th floor as a sparkling spot to appeal the sight of the visitors.
I was glad to participate in this project mainly for concept development, plan development and presentations.

29th Summer Universiade Taipei

This project was a winning proposal for the Taipei Universiade. It is in the concept of building the whole village including its entrance on the imagery of the continuous curvature of the surrounding mountains.
I participated in this project, following the assigned design direction. My main job was to design the canopies at the rooftop of each building and the pedestrian bridge at the main entrance of the village.

School of Architecture
Open International Design Competition / Honorable Mention Award
The School of Transformation – From Wasteland to Oasis
The purpose of most architectural schools, generally speaking, is to teach people skills on how to fix problems and realize their own utopia.
Therefore, if the school of architecture provides educational training on reshaping our environment, it will eventually transform urban spaces abandoned or ignored by modern societies.
In this case, the school will no longer be a permanent campus situated at the designated location but a portable device with capabilities of improving and redeveloping mis-planned properties.
In addition, the school programs also motivate students to construct their school with their own designs and researches. After the property is completely built, the buildings will no longer serve for academic purposes, but will become the facilities of the local communities, meeting the standard of the adaptation required.
Then, the school will move to another wasteland and continue with the same process of transformation.
