Land(e)scape<\/i> by architect\/artist duo Casagrande & Rintala in 1999 was one of my favorite installations. After the group dissolved, Marco Casagrande<\/b> continued to explore the boundary between architecture and art.<\/p>\n

I’m not an up to date person and didn’t know until now that Marco Casagrande has actually been building houses (my apology to the architect!) …<\/p>\n

Chen House<\/i> built in 2008 by Marco Casagrande, Frank Chen and the crew is almost as striking as Tadao Ando’s Azuma House<\/i>. NO, this house may be better than Ando’s 1976 masterpiece – Ando’s early houses tried to recreate ‘tough’ living environment (coldness, dampness, and other inconveniences), but Chen House<\/i> simply embraces its environment, including typhoons, earthquakes, flooding and heat.<\/p>\n

Chen House<\/i> reminds me of the very basic of Judo and Aikido, “yield to win.”<\/p>\n

CHEN HOUSE<\/p>\n

Architects:
\nMarco Casagrande
\nFrank Chen
\nConstruction work:
\nMarco Casagrande, Frank Chen, Shi-Ding Chen, Nikita Wu, Shu-Gi Bai
\nLocal Knowledge:
\nMissis Lee<\/p>\n

Location: Sanjhih, Taipei County, Taiwan
\nSite: 3890 m2 farm land, Datun Mountains
\nBuilding foot print: 138 m2
\nInterior space: 62,5 m2
\nMaterials: mahogany, concrete
\nCompleted: 2008<\/p>\n

The house is realized on an old Japanese cherry-farm in the Datun -mountains of North-Taiwan. It is designed as a vessel to react on the demanding wind, flooding and heat conditions on the site.<\/p>\n

The house is a stick raised above the ground in order to let the flood waters run under it. The different spaces are connected to a flexible movement within the axis of outdoor and indoor functions. The smaller bathroom and kitchen unit acts as a kicker stabilizing the wooden structure during the frequent typhoons and earthquakes.<\/p>\n

The bio-climatic architecture is designed to catch the cool breeze from the Datun -river during the hot days and to let in the small winds circulating on the site between the fresh water reservoir pond and the farmlands. A fire place is used during the winter for heating and for cooking tea. In connection with the bathroom is a small sauna.<\/p>\n

The house is not strong or heavy \u2013 it is weak and flexible. It is also not closing the environment out, but designed to give the farmers a needed shelter.<\/p>\n

Ruin is when man-made has become part of nature. With this house we were looking forward to design a ruin.<\/p>\n
