Porject: The LibraryA 2D design can ensure an interesting

outcome. However, in this case, we look at the section as the main shaft, and through the large quantity of section sketches to construct

the buildings. Furthermore, thoughts and ideas are combined with story lines to enlighten the interior space and to reach a more interesting

and effective design.

Porject: Stay with FlourshingSpatial design in a building should be the

main character. However, when the building is placed in a certain degree of context, a

good design should not render its originality. Regardless commercial activities, residential areas or performing arenas are the essential elements that could be brought to this case.

Porject: Performance Maywa DenkiThis is a hypo-architectural design in Japan, which

uses an Internet networking strategy to search for a performing group. The performing site is

purposely designed, but randomly picked in Asia. The extension of the site enables the designer to fully elaborate on spatial design. However, the challenge comes from the integration of relationships among all the spaces, which is also my biggest gain in this

case.

ABOUTMy name is Chou, Hung-Ming and I graduated from Tamkang University with a BA degree in Architecture. I am Taiwanese and was born in Taipei City. I have a great deal of passion towards architecture and enjoy analyzing things from architecture perspectives. I must say, architecture has been part of my life for as long as could remember. During my freshman year as an undergraduate, I knew nothing about architecture. I ran around blacksmith and carpentry tools trying to search for the meaning of design. Soon after a year of professional training in school, I started build a basic understanding of what design is to me. Not long after I started my architecture pathway by becoming familiar with more architectural materials, design details and even urban planning. After five years of education, I only grew more enthusiastic and eager for advanced knowledge in the industry of architecture. I now feel the urge to grasp more practical skills to apply in the real life settings. My motivation is to give back to myself for all the devotion, but also to fulfill my long-term faith.

Porject: Housing togetherAfter knowing my potential in architecture, this case has made me realize how to make

design more interesting. The “ISSUE” is what makes the case more attractive and intriguing.

This case has made me understand how the choice of words can be symbolized to indicate

different meanings, such as space, strategy, design methods and even details of the design.

Porject: Hot spring TownThis is a hypo-architectural design in Spain. This challenge is out of my reach at the early stage due to the scales, data collection, integration of Green

Energy Technology and the actual function of town. Conquering this case has benefited me from advancing my knowledge to the next level. The breakthrough of cultural and geological difficulties has broadened my

viewpoints in architecture design. The process was not smooth, but the gain was precious.

Porject: Farmer-Post StationThis is the last case in my senior college and I

chose a market that is only five kilometers away from my home in Taipei City. I tried to utilize

all my architectural techniques on this case: The farmer Transfer Station. I faced many obstacles,

but it became clear to me that I needed to obtain more knowledge and skills in the field of

architecture in order to make it functional. This is truly what I hope to cultivate.

Porject: workshopThis was an extracurricular activity in my

undergraduate years. I participated in a workshop in Japan, which includes leading universities such

as National Cheng Kung University (Taiwan), Tokyo Woman’s Christian University (Japan), and Nanjing University (China). Although I

participated in countless workshops, there were two where I held important roles, such as curator,

negotiator and decision maker.

IssueIn the countryside, the three-section courtyard remains as a closed-system, but the interaction of people is still friendly and warm. However, people nowadays live in apartments that are detached and everybody lives closely to each other.

Taipei city

About taipei cityTaipei is a narrow and small city. To illustrate the sequence of history, Taipei has developed rapidly and become the capital city of Taiwan. Regardless of politics, economics, culture and related issues, Taipei City has always been the core, which gradually extended its development outward. Consequently, buildings stand in great numbers; cars, motorbikes and even highways have filled in the whole city. Due to the development of convenient transportation, tourism is now prosperous in the city area. The busy city becomes suffocated during the daytime. In comparison, on the weekends or at night, the commercial district attracts more people. The unique business activities, purchasing behavior and the intermixture of residential and commercial streets have made Taipei City a different place. Nevertheless, in order to create a remodeled space under such an atmosphere, I allowed the buildings to blend in and enjoy the charisma of the nightlife in Taipei City.

Local Business Model

Regional lifestyle and purchasing behavior at the nearby businesses are not a single case. The arcades bring business to this area. With the increase of crowds, the vendors are pushed onto the street to do business. Within only eight meters of the street, transportation, shoppers, and vendor businesses are all crowded and function together. In addition, long lines form at the well-known businesses, pushing people onto the street with cars and scooters squeezing through tight spaces. As a result, the pathway for the lines is altered accordingly all the time, just to co-exist with the transportation passing through.

Prosperity is the distinguishing feature here, but every business is connected through residence. It feels like stepping into another world with just one turn.

The way to save electricity

The way to reduce pollution

Green power system

Manufacturing polysilicon, requires a lot of coal, the production of solar panels in a 1m × 1.5m, it is necessary to burn more than 40 kg of coal and 20 years, the average life span of a solar panel.

40 kg of coal, enough to no effect in coal-fired power plants produce 130 kWh electricity. These power allows 2.2 watt light emitting transistor (LED) bulbs, lit 12 hours a day for up to 30 years

Renewable energy 14.5% wind power in spainRank: 2 in Europe 4th in the world

We create different kind of system to save or make energy

People are not participate in the system.And people only enjoy the system which is we made.There is no perfect system so far.1.we can wait and do nothing untill our technology is improve

2. maybe we can do something without high technology

A normal day's breakfast- or desayuno- typically consists merely of a cup of coffee, although it's also commonplace to accompany your steaming café con leche with a croissant or other pastry. While an American traditional breakfast has pancakes, bacon, and eggs, the Spanish "traditional" breakfast consists of the vastly popular churros, served sprinkled with sugar or dunked in hot chocolate.Spaniards eat their lunch, or comida, between 2:00 and 4:00 in the afternoon. Serving as the day's main meal, it is traditionally quite a bit larger than the dinner meal, or cena. A typical lunch will have several courses. The first course is the lighter part of the meal, usually consisting of a salad or soup, while the second course is normally your typical fish or meat dish. A dessert can be a simple piece of fruit, a typical Spanish flan, or a sweet pastry or cake.While there are of course many people who eat full meals, the Spanish dinner (cena) is traditionally much smaller than the midday comida. It often consisting of something lighter like a salad, a sandwich, or a selection of tapas. Spaniards eat late for this final meal of

the day- even more so on weekends and during the summer- sitting down to eat anytime from 9:00 until 11:00 in the evening.Famous Bodegas

Contrary to popular belief, the process of manufacturing solar panels can and does create enormous amounts of harmful and toxic waste. Be-cause the most of the solar panels consumed in the west are manufactured in China, the nature and extent of this pollution is hidden from the consumers of solar panels. We get the illusion of 'green, clean energy' on our shores, by exporting environmental ruin to the countries where the panels are manufactured. Polysilicon manufacturing yields the byproduct silicon tetrachloride, a highly danger-ous and toxic chemical.
