4 x m2 Gallery Pavilion, July-Sep 2011

I was taking part into the 4 x m2 gallery pavilion project as a building assistant.

4 x m2 gallery pavilion was designed by Quay2c Architects, was to be made of as much recycled material as possible and was constructed on site in conjunction with MA Interior & Spatial Design students at CCAD. The structure was accessible for viewing at any time, although exhibitions are best viewed during daylight hours.

Window Mechanism, 2011

The installation is hanging between the gap of two buildings

The lines go into the tube shape as a beautiful geometry pattern

 

Window Mechanism

The window mechanism is installed across the gap of buildings which connect MA Interior and Spatial Design studio and MA Fine Art studio. I want to link two different spaces directly; the spaces have a certain degree of connection but do not always interact with each other. For example, they are both MA studio, and the students share the same MA lecture, they share the same workshop…etc. However, they seldom have interaction, not to mention work together. Students only see each other through windows. The installation can be an opportunity to link two spaces and create more initial possibilities of interaction through windows. It also tells everyone the relationship of two departments. It may inspire people a new way of improvement.

The hole of tube and black lines limits the view and view changes with the different position of tube from viewer. That is to say, both sides need to reach a consensus of tube distance with opposite one. They decide what they can see through tube to windows together.

Reverse Voyeurism

The studio practice demonstrates the relation between neighbours and the voyeur through a mechanism device composed of the double-sided nature of constructions via standing bicycle wheels which replace the windows. The threads, which represent the view points of voyeur, attached to the rim of one wheel lead to another fixed bicycle wheel and end at the other side of the wall. As the first wheel is rotated by spectator, the threads twist and is restricted in the middle, mirroring the way a camera aperture restricts the amount of light that can enter the camera. When the twisted threads go to limit, then the bicycle will turn around to reversing side.

The installtion is a metaphor of reversing the roles of observer and those being observed. The role of a voyeur should be active and the observed always plays a passive role of “drive see”; however, the reversing wheel means swaping their character. Someone might spy on the voyeur at the same time, or, the observed knows the voyeur is watching on him or her and is looking back  (as in Rear Window) . To some degree, we also could say the voyeur looks at himself in a self-reflection position.

Garden House, 2010

The Garden House is located in Jiaosi, a popular hot spring resort on the south of Taipei. This is a two floors house and with a pond nearby. In 2008, my mother inherited a piece of small land from her farmer father and she decided to build a house of her own. I was being asked to accomplish her dream of having an English style red house even I never been to the UK before that time.

As we started the design, I spent quite a long time to collect pictures and architecture information about the English cottage. Besides, my father insisted on having a classic and luxury living room, in that case, I have to combine country and traditional classic style in a limited space. There was another challenge, since it was very hard and costly to get exactly right materials to build up the English style home, we decided to compromise and use similar materials to replace them. From Japan roof tile to interior furniture we choose local brands in Taiwan and tried to make it looks in harmony with the surroundings.

The garden also plays an important rule, we organize a lot of plant area then my mom could grow vegetables and enjoy a real country life. The garden house has been finished for a year and I can tell that my parents love to live in the cozy and beautiful place. They can stay at home all the weekend doing garden work and decorating interiors, and invite friends to come to have a cup of tea in a wonderful afternoon. C’est la vie!!
