19 世纪开始，西方秉弃纯为装饰而装饰的作法，以机能主义“形随机能”的观点检视当代建筑，开始追求空间中构筑和材料的真实性，这一论点是否直接界定了何谓“有用”或“无用”的空间？建筑 设计与工业、商业或服装设计等其他的创造活动不同，建筑坐落于土地上，有其相依的基地纹理和独特的时空背景。在客观条件下，不同的设计者依其主观价值判断发展出各式设计，而有各种的空间表情。
而关于“空间用途”的讨论，除了回应机能的需求，亦是设计者（使用者）心境的投射。“无用”的存在与“有用”的不存在，正是我们探讨建筑空间最微妙的关系之处。我们该如何看待东方文化脉络中建筑的精神性？当提到场所精神时，又该以什么样的观点去看待场所空间里的事物？以“无用”为思考起点，无特殊用途的虚空间是最容易看穿设计者意图的切入点。
What are livelihoods? What are meditations? In the beginning of 19th century, western architects ceased the way of interpreting architecture in decorative ways and emerged the concept of “form follows function”, featuring materiality and space coordination to review modern architecture. However, does this concept distinctly define the practicability of a space? Unlike the mechanism of industrial, graphic and fashion design, buildings are constructed with response to the site texture and unique space-time background. Architects design in accordance to their subjective perception or knowledge and create different building expressions under particular objective conditions. The functionality of space is a projection of the designer’s mood apart from the reflection of the user’s needs.
The existence of needless elements and lacking of pragmatic factors become a subtle matter in the discussions on space construction. How should we view the spirituality of architecture in the oriental cultural context? What are the considerations of site context that should be valued when discussing the site essence? Based upon the initial thoughts of “ineffectiveness”, the impracticality of imaginary spaces are often the simplest way to sense an architect’s intents.

“三房两厅”是容易理解的住宅平面架构，但此案以“三院两进”来铺陈居住与修行的空间序列：三院是在长形的基地内退让出前院、中庭、后院，形成风的通道和光的容器；两进则是由感知经验所建立的意识空间。

In spatial organization, traditional house in Taiwan are always designed with three room and two public area. However, the project transform the typical temple’s plan, proposing three different court yard which create a mutation of a classic spatial sequence. The changing of light indicate the space of meditation and the passage of time. Bare concrete is implemented as the main materials for the house. Different template create five expression variously, which can be applied in several space with different function.
IN / House A familiar housing floor plan layout often equips ‘three bedrooms + two living rooms’; however, the IN / House project implements ‘three yards + two entrances’ to array the spatial flow of living and meditation areas: ‘three yards’ – dooryard, courtyard and backyard which act as a light vessel and wind aisle from the designated site offset; ‘two entrances’ – entry towards Zen area built for sensory perceptual experiences. The project aims to explore the experience of living through rethink the relation between living and meditation. Without coach, and TV, only the dialogue between heaven and earth, light and shadow, space and time, the order of architecture remains.

何谓居住？何为修行？能否利用空间的精神性来达到修行的境界，让空间材料回归到最真实的本质， 让身体感受一切最单纯的空间尺度──居住、生活就是修行。
Are tangible living spaces likely to sublimate into spiritual meditation realm? What are livelihoods? What are meditations? The restoration of spatial materiality into its intrinsic quality in the INHouse allows human senses to appreciate the simplest form of a space. Perhaps, livelihood can always be equivalent to meditation.
