In a fast-changing society, design plays a central role in shaping not just the physical structure of cities, but also the rhythms of daily life. This thematic exhibition explores how design intersects with urban perception, reimagining its influence across music, education, culture, and more. Through interactive encounters in Urban Rhythm, visitors are invited to experience how the abstract becomes tangible, opening the senses to the possibilities and imagination that design can bring to life.

Using rectangular blocks of varying widths, I combine visual cues from urban architecture and piano keys to form a rhythmic visual language. This composition reflects the movement of music as it flows through the city and its people, blending sound and space into a unified presence. The staggered placement of windows on the buildings echoes the gentle rise and fall of musical notes, subtly suggesting the pulse of a hidden melody.

在當代快速演進的社會中，設計不僅形塑城市的面貌，更深刻影響著我們的生活節奏。本次主題展聚焦於「設計與城市感知」之間的關係，透過策展重新詮釋設計如何在音樂、教育、文化等領域中激發共鳴。在《城市節奏》主題中，觀者將透過體驗與互動，感受抽象如何化為具象，重新打開感官，認識設計所釋放的潛能與想像。

視覺以寬度不一的長方體作為視覺元素，結合城市建築與鋼琴鍵盤的意象，轉化為一種節奏性的視覺語言。透過這樣的構成，試圖捕捉音樂在城市與社會之間穿梭流動的狀態，使聲音與空間交錯共鳴。而建築上高低錯落的門窗，則如同跳躍的音符，在節奏中悄然浮現。
