Alisa ANDRASEK + Jose SANCHEZ: Guided by the iconic features of pop culture such as exuberant colors and light, Phosphorescence explores the possibilities of bringing such polychromatic shimmer qualities to the site. As contemporary scientists marking brain neurons with phosphorescent glow to open new dimensions of our knowledge of the brain, we simultaneously sampled electrified lightscape of Taiwanese streets and night markets.

alisa ANDRASEK: Cliff formations found along many coastlines (including Kaohsiung outer coastline) are resonated through strong vertical fissures of the building. Fractals are frequently used to calculate coastline behavior, given the different degree of “roughness” and multiple orders of scale found in natural coastlines. ||Fissures Port Terminal proposal reflects the idea of such complex articulation within the tectonics of the building.
