Q1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hi! I’m Chia Chen Liu and I’m a Hakka from a farming family, in Pingtung, Taiwan. I love to draw and observe. My main interest is in architecture design with arts and structural design as my minor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My intuition and I were endowed with artistic talent at a young age. I like to bring to society a better living environment and feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My firm concentrates on architectural, interior, and landscaping design. As Hakka Taiwanese, we really invested much of our time and efforts in revitalizing historic Hakka Fo Fong (clan-living quarters). And many historic Hakka buildings in which we are very well qualified and experienced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the moment we are designing libraries for remote area Hakka towns. Emphasizing strongly on children\u2019s department to help the disadvantaged children of the remote Hakka towns. We are also designing a town hall complex and revamping a rundown tobacco collection station in Hakka town. Into a senior center, as the need for senior care has risen dramatically in this modern society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transforming ordinary to extraordinary, from mediocrity to outstanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Using the most simplistic and naturalistic material, designing the most harmonious, eco-friendly creation that is still beneficial to mankind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am an authentic, bonafide Hakka(Hakkanese). The Wanluan (Van Mang in Hakka) library site is located in Van Mang, Ling Dui region. A Southern Taiwanese Hakka militia, formed to protect all Hakka in the region. Van Mang\u2019s location bordering the Aborigines and Southern Min, is named the Pioneer Regiment. Van Mang being so diversify, the library would be use by different groups of people too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a native, I was born and raised about less than ten kilometers from the library site. With an architect’s point of view, I have to design a library to accommodate different cultural groups of people. So, the library\u2019s exterior design reflects the native appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interior of the library is extremely handicap-friendly, with even floor design. Although the library is small, the book collection capacity is maximum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
