People always have lots of images and expectations for the city they live in, because people use different points to read / see / experience this city. To read a city has many ways. You can read a city by writing, speaking, or drawing. pictures are a way to step in the city. It can be different explanations by seeing, feeling, and understanding of different readers. However, the charming points of pictures are that it will give different image spaces to readers. Just like pictures books is an experience for flipping through, or like the chapters connected in the film become an outstanding story. Then, you can read the city and the life by many stories.
This thesis is trying to discuss about imaginations of the city re-presentations. When pictures books becomes a way to re-present, how can it be built into real spaces? And how can real spaces be The conceptualization of picture-book narration into Scenario of space. By describing the process of this kind of concept design, it can reply the city imaginations that in my mind. Try to make the Taipei City Musuem to be the operation of the thesis. The main design operation contains two stages:
The first stage is discussing about “Re- interpretations of a city by picture books”. Make “moving paths” be a process of experiencing a space. By empathizing and understanding in the process, make it become a picture book, then make the story in the picture book into the tension of real spaces. the design process as an attempt combining picturizing thoughts can help us to improve a design concept into a re-presentation of another space. Right now, we lack a city-museum that belongs to people in Taipei. So, I would like to advance a design project about Taipei City Musuem.
The second stage is extended by the conclusion of the last stage. pictures books is a presentation of continuous pictures. It transform words and Perception into a series of imagination. Just like every cut of a film is being spread in flat. And I make the operation of the design of Taipei City Musuem to be the main story. Describing a process of space design by picture books. Thinking again the position of Taipei City Musuem in present times.
Architecture and picture books are overlapping. Design is like pulling and dragging in sense and sensibility. You always try to find the balance point between them, and satisfy the self-awareness. This thesis is also satisfying self-imagination in the process of the pulling and dragging between sense and sensibility. This one has no correct answers, because self-awareness of everybody is different. I hope that this operation will provide us more imagination on city and space design. Break the old thinking and release your imagination, life will be lots of fun.
