應該是要挑戰過去的設計歷程的。

我分析完昆蟲的Tracheal System後，經過幾次的演化與不同的方向的探究(包括都市織理、紋飾等)，目前進行到表皮的構成，我試圖回歸到第一階段的自然研究，在Tracheal System的構成模式中找到解答，以下是目前創造的成果：一種屬於動態過程的表皮，藉由不同的溫度變化，改變外殼的狀態，並藉由幾個控制軸進行空氣的交換。

這是最近做的一個Pattern-Creation machine，藉由研究營造法式中聯環的構成方式，轉化成為數據後透過程式的控制進行演化，可以跑出各種不同類型的聯環家族，我想這應該算是我踏入這圈子第一代的成果。

這是一個，回到原鄉的旅程。

I had observed a unique phenomenon of metal sheet houses in Taichung. Unlike other Asian cities, metal sheet houses are combining living and business in Taichung, not just built for residential use. I try to find the causes behind such a special building type. The urban lands have been constantly subdivided over time when they were inherited or new roads were laid out. Therefore, how to make the best of these fragmented urban lands for profits before they are re-planned become critical for house owners in Taichung. This also results in the unique building types of Taichung.

Before 1960, Taichung was a low density town. After 1990, urban lands became subdivided and fragmented because new roads and large urban blocks were laid out over the existing town. It caused a lot of irregular and narrow building sites.

A vertical metal-sheet house.

When the land re-planning becomes the main strategy for Taichung to increase land value, most owners of the fragmented urban sites expect their lands to be re-planned in the future. In this situation, a concrete building seems to be too expensive even it can last for 40 years. Therefore, a metal-sheet house which is expendable and adjustable becomes a perfect solution to this problem.

Through this chart, we realize that metal sheet house is more competitive than other building types. Owners of the land can get their spending cost back sooner by rapid constructing and demolishing of metal sheets and structures. Demolished materials from a metal sheet house can be recycled for profits. 

The forms of metal sheet houses are based on their locations.  Most two-story metal sheet houses are built at the low-priced regions as factories or shops. On the other hand, four-story metal sheet houses are built at high-priced regions.

The steel-frame structural system covered with cheap metal sheets makes it easy and quick to construct. It can then get the profits through storefront or house rental. Either type will take advantage of its outer walls for commercial billboards with elevated iron structures for obtaining larger visual areas.

Such kind of metal sheet houses are dispersed all over Taichung city waiting for land re-planning. They are similar to cookie-boxes, which are temporary, adjustable, disposable, tailored for most visual display and spatial usage, to maximize return on investment. As a result, we may consider this kind of building as a cookie box house.

他們說，這讓我死亡。而我活的精采。

你說我們的時代黑暗。　而我不吭一聲。

這是個無風世代吧？我看著你的眉頭深鎖，直到堆疊出了一座山，我禁不住笑著說。　即便是你也忘卻理想了吧？我追問著你，而你閃避的目光閃爍，似乎想要辯解的那些，又怕被我一一反駁。　

我故意忽略你的眼神，只顧安靜望著電視裡撥映的那些，那分不清楚是黑白或是彩色的年代，聽說那時的人人有夢，當時光再往前倒，直到完全失去了色彩又或帶點遲緩的片段，聽說那時的人也充滿幻想，再往前，只剩下幾張單獨的影，與畫之間帶著模糊邊界的那種，你插了嘴，告訴我那時代裡人們心中的意念。

接著，我們便都沉默了。

都沉默了。

看著那整齊的街沒有半點高樓，猜想，寂寞的會是那期待成為都市的長街？亦或是望著燈火呢喃的人們。不多想，我匆匆走過那群來自都市的過客，似乎讀出他們眼中的淡愁，如我繼承都市，揮之不去的那些。

不，當我不願面對城市的燈火，不願用它來消滅我對都市的哀寞，我頓時啞然，我所跨不過的，不過是日與夜之間，那條乾竭的河。

要怎麼確認台灣與大陸之間是特殊的國與國關係呢？

看這張圖就夠了。

先談談最近在事務所中做的設計，一個大門。

這是關於台中第一個育幼院的大門設計，建築師提到一個有趣的想法，關於互動。這也是我信仰的，建築（或是任何裝置）應該是能透過人的行為，而進行其生命的延續，而建築，也必須乘載著歷史的脈絡，或是當個時空凝結的象徵。

因此，我們創造了由圓圈所聯繫組成的圖案，企圖訴說育幼院所孕育出生命的聯繫關係，並期望透過孩童的自由放置彩球，形成聯繫圖案的背景，與其隱含的意象再呼應，並讓大門有無限多種可能的色彩，與表情。這樣充滿有機的變化，與乘載的歷史意義，構成的大門意象，會是極具生命的，正如育幼院所期待帶來的那些。

因此，我很喜歡這個設計，充滿生命。
