[金門歡迎你]

Atmosphere and Agency

Supervisor - Mr. Bobby Wong

Embracing the imagery of Kinmen’s islands [ 金門] military heritage as a source of interest, intrigue and indulgence, the thesis project speculates a scenario in which the contemporary consumption of architectural imagery can be utilized as a methodology to mediate, negotiate and renegotiate modern-day tensions and anxieties between Taiwan and Mainland China. Confronting both social and economic imperatives of Kinmen, architecture is concurrently situated as a means to address political uncertainty in light of heightened cross-straits tensions; defying and drifting between latent notions of the paradoxical, contradictory and complex relationships between the two sides, Kinmen’s strategic importance is established as the new frontier of change.
