“ Form follows flow ”
Casting represents the fluidity of metal, its essential material.
Space is an entity, a field of fluidity.
The metal solidifies as its flow slows down. Space takes shape through the presence of living beings.
Flow generates sequences.
From the units of sequences, we re-explore how flow occurs.

This project is a collaboration between Tunghai University and The Affiliated Senior Industrial Vocational School of National Changhua University. It aims to establish a connection between the Architecture, Mechanical Wooden Mold, and the Foundry departments in our academic efforts, promoting cross-field cooperation, and making the integration of design and manufacturing more efficient and accurate in the early stages.
