Taiwan Architecture News - May 21, 2009 - 09:12 10740 views
OUNO: Chen House was built for an older couple who wanted to retire to the country and grow bamboo and cherry trees - on a flood plain also beset by hurricanes and earthquakes. The house is a light structure constructed almost entirely of mahogany on simple concrete posts. Casagrande quotes Brecht: Last night I saw a terrible strorm in a dream. It ripped off the scaffoldings and crushed the iron joints. Though what was made of wood, bent, and stayed still.
