As Free as the Grass Grows
“The limited life” may be the most beautiful thing in the world.
Learn from the sky, earth, mountain and water,
Believe we could contribute to the diverse history,
Even the action might be too much, still practice with space to express the possibility of resistance.
HUANG Sheng-Yuan in 2025 spring
Based on our many practices in Yilan, a regional city in Taiwan, Huang Sheng-Yuan will share the significance of continuing to build while learning with students and young architects while being rooted in the local community. He will also talk about his current activities in Yilan,Taiwan.
Fieldoffice Architects is an architectural team composed of architect Huang Sheng-Yuan and youths from throughout Taiwan who have found resonance with Huang’s architectural philosophies and visions. After being founded in 1994, the office has gradually enlarged its ranks of individuals with common minds to develop into the large atelier with many staff members that it is today. He found Yilan as a new place where he could engage in his activities while maintaining his belief that architecture must serve as an interface for dialogue that connects people, society, nature, and the environment.
Huang Sheng-Yuan firmly believes in the root of architecture that lies deeply within life itself, and life’s truest form is not one of static and tangible qualities, but of dynamic and ephemeral, constantly in change.
As a result, such an acute perception itself has led a direction that is rather ambiguous and whimsical in nature, making Huang and his later established FieldOffice’s works one of a kind in the architecture realm.
