The Blue House was a temporary pavilion installed in the outdoor plaza of the Taipei Fine Arts Museum during the summer of 2022. Measuring 18 by 11 metres, its plan is rotated five degrees from the museum’s axis. Constructed from wood and steel and painted entirely blue, the pavilion extends across two sets of stairs, with one side forming a pentagonal shape and the other a triangular one. Its height varies from 4.4 to 3.1 metres, while the eaves remain close to the ground, creating irregular spaces between the undulating floor and the roofline.

Object-like structural elements are scattered throughout the pavilion, both inside and outside. They appear as individual sculptural pieces while also forming part of a fragmented whole. A concealed entrance behind an oval wall leads to a large interior space, covered by an exposed timber roof. Connected to its surroundings only through skylights and the openings between the eaves, the space remains simultaneously open and enclosed. Its continuous interior is constantly reshaped by the undulating floor, the objects and the changing light, accommodating different scales of occupation.

The Blue House Studio extends beyond the physical limits of the pavilion as the space that flows around it. Conceived without fixed boundaries, it explores movement, improvisation and the possibilities that emerge beyond established systems. Through a series of events, visitors engage with the pavilion through their physical presence and senses, becoming participants simply by being there.

Together, The Blue House and The Blue House Studio establish a relationship between physical structure and intangible experience. The pavilion provides the material setting, while the studio expands its possibilities through changing events and collective participation, allowing the experience of the space to continue beyond its defined architectural form.
