Design Philosophy:
I believe architecture is the vessel of human memory.
To me, architectural design is not merely the balance of function, form, and economy — it is about creating places that can be remembered. Architecture carries the continuity of time, culture, and emotion.
A well-designed building should be able to speak — it tells stories of cultural and natural heritage, while also embodying the spirit of its time and creating new memories together with its users.
I hope my designs can awaken people’s perception of culture and place.
In the Taipei European School, I used local bamboo as the façade material — not only for shading performance but also to echo the surrounding bamboo forests and their regional memory.
In the Jinmao Changshu ISC “Urban Living Room”, the form draws inspiration from a fish, standing gracefully by Kun Cheng Lake — a contemporary interpretation of the legend of Jiang Ziya fishing, allowing culture and nature to resonate in a modern context.
At the same time, I hope architecture can record its own era and nurture future memories through spatial richness.
In the SINOVAC High-Tech Achievements Transformation Base, a flowing, cell-like form and a pure-white façade reflect the biotechnology company’s identity while preserving the collective memory of the COVID-19 period.
In the BNU-HKBU United International College No.2 Campus, multi-layered elevated spaces create diverse areas for interaction — where the students’ daily lives will become part of the building’s living memory.
I believe the ultimate value of architecture lies in the emotions it evokes and the memories it preserves. If every building tells the story of its time, I hope my designs can become the fragments that people remember.
