以機械枯燥的都市臺北為背景，“繭響”作為難得的有機形式空間異軍突起，它是工業昆蟲們的卵房，昆蟲需要破繭而出，經歷后工業時代的蛻變。根據人類已掌握的“當地知識”，采用靈活的竹結構，通過高水平的即興創作，結合昆蟲建筑學，這一開放式格局的建筑最終落成。

“繭響”位于待開發的臺北市中心，它是周圍居民的活動領域，也可以作為大學研討會以及其他活動舉辦的公共空間。

一旦走進“繭響”中，你將忘卻身處的城市。“繭”是一個私密的空間，卻擁有開放的環境——它呼吸著，震動著，柔美且安穩。一個都市人倘佯其中，該空間將賦予他這樣的機會：令他穿越到千年之前，并重新發現本真、尋回本真。“繭響”以昆蟲作為建筑的靈感來源，打造了一個公共的開放空間。

“繭響”是臺北市的都市針灸術，它試圖穿透工業惰性的厚重外殼，去貼近大地，去感受天地渾然之氣，去融匯將臺北人民和大自然密切相連的“當地知識”。“繭響”的“繭”是現代人與大自然之間奇妙的協調者，它的存在說明沒有什么比自然更本真的了。

Cicada is an organic void in the mechanical texture of modern Taipei, a cocoon for post-industrial metamorphosis for industrial insects. The architecture is based on the Local Knowledge of human scale flexible bamboo structures containing a high level of improvisation and insect mind- Open Form.

The Cicada is situated on a site in central Taipei waiting for development. Mean while it acts as a public sphere for the surrounding neighborhood and as lounge for university workshops and other spontaneous activities - public space.

As one enters the Cicada, the surrounding city disappears. The cocoon is an interior space but totally outside - it is breathing, vibrating, soft and safe. The space will swollow the modern man and will offer him a possibility to travel a thousand years back in order to realize, that the things are the same. Cicada is insect architecture and the space is a public sphere.

Cicada is urban acupuncture for Taipei city penetrating the hard surfaces of industrial laziness in order to reach the original ground and get in touch with the collective Chi, the local knowledge that binds the people of Taipei basin with nature. The cocoon of Cicada is an accidental mediator between the modern man and reality. There is no other reality than nature.
