Village-Analog In City Streets Transforming and Designer Group Academic project Year Fall 2009 - Spring 2010 LocaƟon Tianmu, Taipei, Taiwan Honor NaƟonal University Architecture Design Horizon Award Award of Best Graduate Design
01 - Urban renewal - Street acƟviƟes - Life events - InteracƟon between people
“Village analog” refers to the use of the interacƟve relaƟonships between village residents as an analogy for reshaping city-dwellers street experience and warm their usually cold aƫtudes toward one another. In this case, I analyzed the land use situaƟon in my experimental area, and then focused on fostering cultural and creaƟve acƟvity in the area, creaƟng spaces for city dwellers where public and private co-exist. This approach will create a new living path connected through a greater number of interacƟons with cultural and creaƟve community spots.

InteracƟon Experience In compactly structured ciƟes, pedestrians move with purpose, even in their own neighborhoods, making it hard to interact with people. Villages, in contrast, are more loosely structured and people interact on the streets more, with fewer people as purposeful in their walking. This inspired me to think about how city dwellers could enjoy a similar interacƟon experience to villagers.

As public and private spaces are clearly divided in ciƟes, there are no intermediary spaces that present interacƟve opportuniƟes. In contrast, public and private spaces in villages oŌen overlap, with their boundaries vaguely defined. Even living rooms and kitchens can be opened up to interacƟon. 02

The nature of the cultural and crea ve industries—flexible working hours, living spaces where public and private overlap—creates greater ac vity in ci es and increases opportunies for interac on, while also driving workers in these industries to need greater interpersonal interac on themselves.

Experimental Site This site is located in the commercial center of the Tianmu district of Taipei City. Building on the weekly market that takes place at one corner of the site, the plan for the site is to create a new avenue linking the market with the various small stores in the alleyways, and then to the main road that is home to major brand outlets. I thus chose the transi onal area between the two end points as the area of primary focus, crea ng a new, interac ve route linking the weekly market with Zhongcheng Road.

In accordance with the condi ons of the site, four different design strategies are employed: “release,” “transforma on,” “invasion,” and “implanta on.” The public and private spaces of the site are readjusted, with an increase in semi-open spaces and public pathways that creates greater opportuni es for interac on.

New Building
New Street Experience New living routes are developed and linked through usage. MulƟ-point transformaƟons such as this project can provide local residents with an experience of purposeless wandering similar to that experienced in rural villages, opening the door to unexpected discoveries. Residents can exchange books at a reading pavilion, relaxing under a tree to enjoy an aŌernoon of reading, while trellises provide others a place to grow plants and chat with their neighbors.

DemonstraƟon Group The demonstraƟon group is the driving force behind the village-analog city. It is made up of three secƟons—the designers’ studio group, the studio apartments, and bouƟque stores.

There are a variety of design studios. Designers have a lot of communicaƟon. Residents and visitors come here to parƟcipate.
Designers who live here have plenty of opportuniƟes to discuss with each other. Residents also can pass through the first floor.
Designers’ stores gather here. People have a number of interacƟon between each other on the square and the decks in front of stores.

DemonstraƟon Site A: Designers’ Studio Group This is a collec on of design studio units which combine residen al, work, and commercial proper es. The site has four entrances connec ng to outside roads, making the ground-floor public ac vity space also a secondary ac vity path for residents. Here, mothers who have taken children to school, neighbors, and visitors from other places can par cipate in various studios and workshops.

Inside, the square offers an open space for rest, while stores can also make use of the space for special ac vi es during holidays.

Visible and invisible city
- ConƟnuous acƟviƟes - Ever-changing face of city - Life demand - City characterisƟcs
Supermarket, Community Center and Park Academic project Year Fall 2008 Loca on Zhongli, Taoyuan, Taiwan Honor Design Merit Award, 2008, Dept. of Architecture, Chung Yuan Chris an University
The “Visible and Invisible City” refers to a par cular aspect of a city with poten al that remains to be tapped. In this area within a 500m radius around Zhongli Sta on, we can develop an area that is representa ve of the city of Zhongli itself. Zhongli is historically a city of a variety of func ons, and I discovered that the ever-changing face of the city is in part due to its being ac ve 24 hours a day. In addi on, I believe that a community center and 24-hour supermarket best represent the lifestyle of Zhongli while also sa sfying its various demands. Appearance Changes With Time

Transforming City In daylight, the skyline of Zhongli is on full display, with things such as new apartment buildings in old neighborhoods becoming obvious landmarks. As the city enters nigh me, ac vity doesn’t stop, but rather con nues on, however the city’s face is changed by this. As the businesses on lower floors con nue opera ng, the residents of the upper floors sleep, crea ng the impression of the upper half of these buildings disappearing into the night sky.
Site Selected
Where: Site LocaƟon To emphasize the difference caused by this change, I chose the upper floors (9F-11F) of an apartment building as my site. As the middle and upper floors are for offices and residen al spaces, ac vity in these floors is limited largely to day me; when con nual ac vity is implanted into these upper floors, Zhongli’s ever-changing face is made all the more prominent.

As the supermarket is open all day, I have separated the lines of mo on for the supermarket and the community center, which will also facilitate management. Between the supermarket and community center are a community park, located on the 10th and 11th floors, providing an ac vity and recrea on space for local residents. Supermarket

The design and construc on of this case was divided into several stages. I was involved into two stages, overseeing the design of the buildings and landscaping. Designed to be a forest park, with a lychee garden and a blackboard tree forest. Trees for the park were chosen based on flowering season, crea ng different faces for the park with each change of the season. Two other projects are part of the site, namely Beixiang Lake and the North Route Drain, which must be integrated and accommodated for within the plan.

This ecologically oriented park will preserve exis ng trees while also accommoda ng facili es such as parking lots. Through the crea on of a dense ar ficial forest, the park aims to call to mind the forests of Alishan. In the north of the park, where the eleva on is lower, is a water deten on area which is normally open grassland, but will double as a deten on pond during rainy season. In the south, Beixiang Lake fulfills a similar purpose. Parking areas for cars, scooters, and tour buses are laid out across the park to spread out traffic. Plant species be er suited to plains were selected for plan ng, while also aiming to create different scenery for each season.

Within the park are two groups of service buildings, each consis ng of a visitor service center, bathrooms, and machine rooms. In line with the forest theme of the park, these buildings all use glued laminated mber, and the roofs are equipped with solar panels. The facades of these buildings use four different materials, with the uppermost sec on of the walls le open to improve ven la on.

For this case, I was responsible for the design and planning of a basketball gymnasium which will serve as a venue for the Summer Universiade to be hosted in Taipei in 2017, as well as a new landmark for Taipei City. The exterior is designed around the concept of a spinning basketball, while the main and subsidiary gymnasiums were planned with verƟcality and specific routes for athletes. The track, meanwhile, is located between the two gymnasiums, facilitaƟng use by both users of the gymnasiums and students of Heping Elementary School.

We chose wood as the material for the structure and hang it up on the tree with steel rope. Our completed structure not only passed shell structure test but also exhibited a charming structure.
