Ultra-Ruin is a wooden architectural organism that is growing from the ruins of an abandoned red brick farmhouse in the meeting place of terraced farms and jungle. The weak architecture follows the principles of Open Form and is improvised on the site based on instincts reacting on the presence of jungle, ruin and local knowledge. The complex has a variety of multi-functional spaces and platforms that can be activated for different living functions and for meditation. The spatial continuity between interior and exterior spaces is flexible – also the inside is out and the jungle is in the house.

XMS Media Gallery / Moxie Design. Architects: Moxie Design Location: Taipei, TaiwanInteraction Design: xXtraLab Design CoArt Director: Zoching Chen Interactive Director: Ting-Han Chen Design Team: Chi-Chen Yang ,Chian Hsin, Shang-Fang Chen, Pu Chen, Jimmy Lin Design Director: Frankie Fan Project Designer: Chian Hsin Project year: 2009 – 2010 Photographs: Marc Gerritsen Space This is a special work mode of a design team. Every day, the team constructs dialogues, communicates, interacts, and compromises with one another. Such a work mode has become a starting point of a challenge to design an innovative living space using mixed media.
The base is an old four-story apartment in the city center (next to the Huashan 1914 Creative Park), which is facing the fate of being torn down and rebuilt. Thus, the designers of Moxie as a parody use fence nets of a kind seen in construction projects or greenhouses.
