There are two questions behind each project of Atelier FCJZ: Where the international architecture develops? Do we have the measures to deal with it? These two general questions can be decomposed into a number of specific questions, such as material, space, community facility, landscape, and so on. About material: the relationship between natural occurred and natural synthesis is developing and changing, hence their boundary becomes more and more blurred. Synthetic material contains natural elements, and usually they have improved than purely natural material both in terms of function and sustainability. Synthetic material seems in between pure nature and pure artifact, which is soft and rich, such as concrete block, glulam and corkboard, Oriented Strand Board etc. The choice of architectural material is never depends on aesthetic only. For the above reasons, we select a variety of synthetic materials in Taihetaoci villa. About space: the development of the change of relationship between house and courtyard, or interior and exterior spaces.
