From the architects: The alteration of light is a key factor for photo-shooting; thus, we consider the photography studio supposes to coexist with natural daylighting as much as possible. This building was built in 1982, located in the hill area at Hsinchu city. Inspired from membrane semi-transparency, the façade was rebuilt with glass bricks, which undermining the sloping groundline and visual heftiness, and becoming semi-clear carrier.
Entering indoors, the cement hollow-brick wall creates a contrast with glass brick wall, both materials implying a synthesis of old days and new era, which allow light transmitting freely spread out.

In dawn, while interior lightings were lit up, the neighbor and passers-by can sit on the bench and share illumination via glass brick wall, which create a connection between community and people.
