WEAVING is a tourist center designed along the river moat in Hsinchu, where spatial visibility and porosity are used to shape the visitor experience.
The project departs from conventional architectural form making and instead begins with a process of pouring, cutting, and decomposing concrete masses. These fragments are recomposed according to the site’s conditions to form a series of interconnected program spaces.
The design process starts with casting irregular concrete blocks, slicing them into fragments, and categorizing the resulting pieces by type.
These components are then recombined into new configurations through a nonlinear, iterative method. Visibility and privacy are controlled through material decisions using half concrete and half-wire-mesh walls.
When placed on site, these recomposed forms create varying degrees of openness along the riverbank, shaping circulation and defining the café, office, meeting rooms, and exhibition areas. The final architecture becomes a woven assemblage of fragments, responding directly to movement, landscape, and the river’s edge.
