Abstract

Transforming the deep psychoanalysis of a designer into a design has been considered as a valid design idea generator eventhough it is not an easy task. In the Darkside of the Moon Pavillion project, the aim is to design a structure that reflects the inner complex thought of the designer who hides behind a mask to appear powerful and covers the complex unknown force that has become the main driving force of his identity. Through his careful inquisition, Ping Fuan deconstructed the form and spaces triggered in his mind to reflect his constant wary and defensive identity. The deep interplay of light coming from the window strips and the shadow dramatically enforced the idea. His architecture of pretence demonstrated the importance of capturing human emotions deeply transcended in one’s thought in order to produce high quality design.
