Scott McCloud's vision for the future of comics is crystal clear here, at last. The book caused considerable controversy in the comics industry, McCloud famously noting that it had been described as 'dangerous'. They installed a sliding glass door to prevent cooking odors from entering the dining space. Photos and information provided by Archlin Studio. In the open living/dining space, white polyurethane paint was employed as the base color, while two different wood tones are used to define zones.Traditionally in the Taiwanese culture, the kitchen is tucked away from the main living space. “Our challenge was to open up the kitchen when it is not in use so it can be joined with the public area as one large open space,” the designers said. “Through the use of natural materials, like timber veneer, stone and glass, we created a laid-back apartment that is ideal for this young family of three,” the designers said. A mirrored door panel was installed near the corner of the built-in storage unit to visually break up the heaviness of the element. The owners’ request was to keep most of the existing fittings, including the bathrooms, kitchen, ceiling and floor finishes, and to create a modern living space with maximum concealed storage capacity.The design studio built a series of full-height storage/display units along the wall from the entryway to the dining area and into the open living space. the wide variety and the large number of publications, differing in scope, in depth, in practicability and in appeal.In the present paper, a few aspects of this duality of character are being discussed through: on the one hand, indicating some coherence of the many parameter estimation schemes that have been proposed and advocated in literature this provides an example of a part of the identification field that is clearly developing towards a ‘scientific’ framework on the other hand, outlining essential features of identification procedures, related to practical applications as well as limitations, that can still be characterised as belonging to the ‘art’ of the experimenter/model builder.This apartment, located in a new complex in Taipei, Taiwan, was designed by for a couple and their 3-year-old daughter. It is this duality that is partly responsible for. On the one hand, a number of its theoretical aspects clearly belong to the realm of science on the other hand, when applied to practical problems, identification shows traits that refer to it being an art as well. It is characterised by a marked ambiguity. Occasionally, system identification is called the measuring of ‘unmeasurable’ quantities.
