Architechture

The Wave Classroom and Student Activity Center at San Sin High School of Commerce and Home Economics are representations of architect Chen Ren-he’ work For the Student Activity Center, Chen used modular methods in designing its structure, with a minimum unit of 58.3 cm in building the supporting column and beams. He exposed the head of the T-shaped beam to allow its surface to rhythmically interact with the columns. In the Wave Classroom, Chen set a minimum unit of 90 cm in installing pillars along the partition walls. To enhance the strength of the reinforced concrete used to decrease material costs, he designed folded sheet structured floors. Winding staircases on both sides foster a sense of visual extension and dynamic finishes. A square tower was raised in the center of the facade to serve as a visual focus, with a gable end used as decoration in accentuating the sense of rhythmic waves.

苓雅／三信家商波浪教室及學生活動中心

三信家商波浪教室及學生活動中心為陳仁和建築師的重要作品之一，起建於1962年，早稻田大學的教育訓練，徹底影響了陳建築師早期的建築設計，以學生活動中心為例，陳建築師利用模矩化的方式設計結構系統，以58.3公分為最小單元完成柱樑的佈局，並讓T型樑樑頭外露，使樑面與落地柱在立面上形成清楚的節奏韻律。
而波浪教室的設計上，模矩最小單元為90公分，主柱皆落在教室的隔間牆，為了增加鋼筋混凝土的強度，樓地板皆採取了摺板結構的設計，兼具節省材料經費與結構強度的需求。兩側的旋轉樓梯收邊更是為波浪狀的視覺力量得以延伸，創造動感的完美收尾。立面中間的部分則以方型塔樓作為視覺焦點，其裝飾意味的兩坡式屋頂也強化了波動韻律的意象。
