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」展出他們過去二十五年間的建築創作。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, within the medium of time. What truly connects us to architecture is the movement of our body through space. Movement is nothing but the body within time, while time gives life to space.
Hsuyuan Kuo and Effie Huang have pursued the concept of “space in time” with passion and bold experimentation. Their process of design involves both dialectical conversations and outright arguments, as well as mutual support, encouragement, and love. Through this process they create both their “space in time” designs and a deep connection with us.
The Space in Time exhibition showcases Kuo and Huang’s architectural work over the past 25 years. They have searched for opportunities, even in almost impossible contexts, and sought inspiration from the ordinary things of daily life. In so doing, they have created small but beautiful examples of spatial imagination, growing out of the tiny cracks of the city, and making our daily lives better as they discover the endless possibilities of space in time.
By embracing the four elements of “a sense of place,” “interior and exterior,” “pathways,” and “the envelope,” they provide a design methodology for contemporary Taiwanese urban architecture. They invite us to feel what they feel, and to experience with them the meaning of life within architectural spaces.
