氣候的入口，沿雨勢而築的構件
An entrance with the elements as signs indicating the local weather: the passages of the rain and the ‘movement’ of the climate.
住宅座落於城市外圍的山丘上，房前的路朝西北緩緩下坡至市區。臨街入口見兩片雨棚：之字水管、溝槽、傾斜的浪狀薄簷，依著相同方位向下折返、延伸，微觀成雨水降落後的路徑。其分別安置於矮牆與門前兩相對望，近看作一種構件間的入口指向，總體而覽則彷彿一地區中揭示氣候與方位的微小標誌：都市地景裏的建築構件。
上坡徘徊於細徑間時，不斷想起環繞台北盆地的丘陵。
The apartment is located on the hills surrounding the downtown. The front street toward the northwest goes down to the city centre. At the entrance, two pieces of the rain canopies — consisting of zigzag tubes and grooves on the thin wave-shaped sheets — form their triangular shapes corresponding to the orientation of the street. Installed on the short wall and the door front — two sides of the entranceway, the sheds perform and indicate the path/movement of the rain, the orientation and the climatic qualities of the local environment. On a human scale, the elements compose the position of the entrance; on a total regional scale, they reveal themselves as the small marks among the area, the components in the urban landscape.
The experience of strolling on those paths reminds me of the basin landscape of Taipei and the houses locating among the hills.
