建築是關於主體在時間中的空間體驗。透過我們的身體在空間中移動，我們才確實和建築有所關聯；而移動就是時間中的身體，時間讓空間充滿生命。郭旭原和黃惠美是這個「時間的空間」熱切追求者，也是大膽試驗師。透過他們之間相互辯證、爭吵、甚至冷戰，但也相互扶持、鼓舞與相愛的過程，創造了時間的空間，也創造了我們與他們之間的連結。
「時間的空間」展出他們過去25年間的建築創作。郭黃從沒有可能中找出機會，從日復一日輪迴般的平常生活的耽溺中醒覺，在都市縫隙中創造出微小但無比絢麗的空間想像，藉此復活了空間在時間的無窮可能，將日常生活變得更美好。通過「皮層」、「內與外」、「路徑」和「場域」四項元素的歸納，他們為我們提供一個當代臺灣都市建築的設計方法論；也邀請我們藉著彼此共鳴，與建築創作者一起體驗居住在建築裡的存在意義。
Architecture is all about people’s experience of space – in time. What truly connects us to architecture is the movement of our body through space, and movement is nothing but the body within time. Time brings space. Hsuyuan Kuo and Effie Huang pursue “space in time” with passion and bold experiments. In their process of design, through engaging in dialectic discourses and arguments, and providing support, encouragements, and love for each other, they create “space in time”, and a connection between themselves and us. ‘Space In Time’ showcases Kuo and Huang’s architecture work from the past 25 years. As they searched for opportunities within the impossible, sought inspirations from the ordinary things of our daily lives, they found beauty and created moments within the tiny cracks of the city, small but beautiful examples of spatial imagination. In so doing, they bring new life to the infinite possibilities of space in time, making daily life much better.
By embracing the four elements of ‘a sense of place,’ ‘interior and exterior,’ ‘pathways,’ and ‘the envelope, ‘they have provided us with a design methodology for contemporary Taiwanese urban architecture. They invite us to feel what they feel and explore with them the meaning of living within the structures they create.
