The “Tin Chuo Collection” held the fourth new book sharing session at Wang Daishi Shuxuan. The event invited Ma Xuan, Wang Jun-Hung, Wong Sengyuan and Zhan Weihong to discuss the unique works of Tin Central Studio and its unique style. A group of architects who have chosen to live and work in Yilan for a long time, both residents and professionals, have proliferated for more than twenty years from a large cluster of open public buildings, from small walkways to grand bridges, offering more space opportunities for the future. Starting with the first person — architect Huang Sengyuan, Tin Chuo has grown into a large group — made up of more than a hundred historical partners who continue to explore the connected and true nature of life in this land of Taiwan through architecture.
Rooted in Yilan, Fieldoffice Architects has exhibited at the Taiwan Pavilion of the Venice Architecture Biennale for two consecutive sessions and the first from Taiwan to be invited to showcase at Tokyo's TOTO GALLERY‧MA. Founded by architect Sheng-Yuan Huang, its team has grown into a large community of over a hundred members, including the past and present staff. Through architecture, they continue to explore the connection between land and people, as well as the true essence of life. While solving practical problems as architects, they also embed a sense of poetry into their works.
As the team’s first monograph, Fieldoffice: Incomplete Works, 1994- takes its English title from both the unfinished nature of the book and the spirit of Fieldoffice’s architecture—it is inextricably tied to life. A building is never truly "complete" because it evolves with its inhabitants over time. The deliberate blank spaces in their work leave room for future possibilities. Likewise, this monograph is not a definitive statement, but an open-ended one—inviting new interpretations as time goes on.
Sheng-Yuan Huang believes architecture should not exist in isolation as mere “artwork,” but should coexist with life and evolve with it. As architecture gains broader public appeal, more people beyond the professional sphere are beginning to engage with it. Fieldoffice: Incomplete Works, 1994- serves as an open invitation—guiding readers to encounter the spirit of Fieldoffice’s architecture through its pages, and ultimately encouraging them to visit these spaces in person, including architecture to be part of their own lives.
