Cavernous Nature
Cavernous Nature Geological Museum
#1 2023, spring semester
The architecture inspired by the terrain found in nature, featuring slopes, valleys, and sinkholes, showcases minerals and fossils that are like artworks, formed through long geological processes.

In the weather with dark clouds approaching, the sails raised by the howling wind, and the tension-filled architectural structure stand ready, poised with strength to face the storm and heavy rain.
Split-level space The activities between different levels are visible to one another, fostering communication among students. Independent classrooms are located near the edges of the levels.
Second-floor open space The open layout allows for a variety of activities to occur freely. The full-height space in the center also establishes a visual connection with the first floor.
Spaces accommodating both traditional and modern teaching methods.
Structure Innovation The enterprise school’s main feature is the large suspended structure in the center, from which the lower floors freely var y. This design creates a learning environment that encourages creativity and fosters collaboration b e t we e n stu d e nt s a n d te a c h e r s , making it more adaptable to the everchanging teaching methods and market demands. It is like a white canvas, returning the building’s usage to the users and reducing the subjective assumptions often made from the architect’s perspective.

Kintsugi Repairing Technique Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken potter y with gold, is a technique that celebrates the beauty of imperfection. Instead of hiding the cracks, Kintsugi highlights them, turning the restoration process into a meaningful and artistic expression. This craft emphasizes the idea that flaws and histor y can add value and beauty to an object, rather than diminish it.
Simulated Family The simulated family model recruits volunteer parents from society to form surrogate families for raising orphaned and disabled children. This is a new approach to addressing the orphan issue in contemporary society.
The design, themed around "fragmentation and restoration," seeks to bridge the physical and psychological challenges faced by orphaned and disabled children during their growth, through the intervention of simulated families and enriched public spaces.

The curve as a subtle cue for public space The arch, as a subtle cue for public space, is derived from people’s recognition of arcades. I emphasize this arch element in both the plan and elevation to create spaces for interaction. In the context of efficiency-driven medical architecture, this design fosters areas for communication, providing emotional support for patients, which is a crucial aspect of cancer treatment.
