Taiwan is an environment assembled from countless small fragments. Sometimes people pull furniture or equipment into the open, and the architecture we thought we knew is reconfigured—the walls seem to vanish. The furniture itself becomes structure, constructing space. What the discipline calls “space” is, in Taiwan, casually breached and then normalized. It happens immediately: a threshold appears at once.
In my work, the idea that a tipping point can surface instantly has become a conviction. I pursue this intention across scales; once the aim is clear, it exceeds measure—even the smallest thing can host such a moment. Before architecture, my first design worked through collage—turning everyday elements into a new reality, a collage I could fully compose. In the process I deliberately disassembled each object’s makeup: from a distance it reads as a mountain; up close it resolves into a collage of sinewy lines.
For all its naïve, that study proved formative. It was a beginning—clarifying what I seek, and the perspectiveTaiwan has given me.
