ABSTRACT
In 2006, the international workshop Ghosting: Talismanic Architecture, organized by Thomas Tilluca Han at Shih Chien University, challenged the next generation of Taiwanese architects to study the cultural space of Ghost Month. The beginnings of feminism are found in the mid-eighteenth through early-twentieth century voting rights movements. The resulting term carries a nuanced and conflicted history, which is why some women of my generation now hesitate to use the label feminist. The first two ghost projects introduced below experimented in registering non-formal inputs through distorting strategies from generative mapping processes and mathematics. Aspects of traditional house-ness lingering in the Villa Savoye, were designated as ghosts. The idea behind the Prop projectwas to propose architectural interventions in lieu of these adhoc props that could be designed to not only provide temporary structural fixes but also to underpin other imperceptible material and cultural aspects which inhabit the site.
