In Tamsui, Listening to Water, Touching Rain (2019)
Project Location: Tamsui Old Street, New Taipei City, Taiwan
The Mission
Design a faith and community space on Tamsui Old Street that responds to the local environment. Water—reflecting Tamsui’s frequent rainfall and connection to the river—is the central element, integrated with functional community spaces.
The Challenge
Capture the concept through sketching and extract design elements from Tamsui’s water textures, translating them into spatial forms.
The Outcome
A building that serves as a community hub while celebrating water as a sacred element, conveying Tamsui’s geography and local stories to visitors.

Translating Natural Patterns into Architectural Skin
This scale fabrication study investigates how water-generated patterns found in the local landscape can be transformed into architectural surfaces. Unconventional model materials were selected to closely reflect the fluid and organic qualities of water ripples, allowing the façade to emerge through physical experimentation rather than predefined form.
