Delft, 20 December 2023 Letter of RECOMMENDATION for ir. Chu Yu Liang To whom it may concern, With this letter, I would like to pay tribute to Chu Yu Liang, an esteemed graduate of the 'Designing for Health and Care' graduation studio 2022/23. Chu Yu completed her studies on July 6th, 2023, and after some Home visit in Taiwan, she now seeks an opportunity to work in the Netherlands, gaining valuable experience in an architectural office. Chu-yu attained her Bachelor of Architecture at National Taiwan University of Science and Technology before starting her Master education in Delft (2021-2023) to continue her studies at our university, where she excelled until her recent graduation. We selected Chu Yu’s design for the pre selection of the yearly Archi-Prix. As the coordinator and tutor of the Dwelling Graduation Studio 'Designing for Health and Care' at the Faculty of Architecture, TU Delft, I had the privilege of assisting and mentoring Chu-yu Liang. Witnessing her personal and architectural growth throughout her graduation year was truly rewarding, and I am honoured to share a few words about her. The Graduation Studio focuses on the question of how to design for health and care, exploring ways in which space can facilitate the well-being of those in need. It delves into understanding the specific spatial and care requirements for different groups, employing ethnographic research methods to engage with target populations and comprehend their unique needs. In the context of the aging society we were searching for new solutions of housing the elderly. Chu Yu chose to design a living environment for families and their parents (in law) who need some help or even some care. Proximity to the elderly would be a convincing choice. Therefore Chu Yu invented the design of houses for the ‘sandwich family’, taking into account that young families often have to offer care to their own children as well as to the parents. Truly a situation in which daily life can be a challenge and care could be even a burden. Chu Yu developed a high rise tower in The Brinkhorst, The Hague, where families apartments go hand in hand with smaller senior living. In addition, a public programme offers a senior daycare, a library, a café and other facilities to offer care, entertainment, and retail for the residents.

Throughout her graduation process, Chu Yu demonstrated her ability to translate theoretical research into practical architectural solutions. Her design concept permeated all aspects of her work, from the floor plans and facade to the interior details, displaying a logical and consistent application of her ideas. Notably, in her graduation thesis, she demonstrated the strengths of being an international student, and her insights came from her cultural and social observation of elderly care in Taiwan: families living together and caring for the elderly. It is rare and somewhat difficult to execute in the Netherlands. However, Chu Yu continuously investigated the reasons and the possibilities of design execution in her research, designing the ideal living model for the Sandwich Generation families in the Netherlands, eventually redefining the vision of living together with families through architectural design. Such an integration of culture and design is valuable for the architectural field, and it can also bring a new image and dimension to the future architectural industry. I have come to know Chu Yu as a person of integrity, openness, and sociability. She consistently engaged in self-reflection, welcomed constructive discussions, and maintained a positive mindset, never deterred by challenges. Her independent work attitude and design skills often impressed me. Chu Yu exhibited a genuine curiosity about innovative architectural ideas and alternative working methodologies. I hold her in high esteem for her positive attitude, exceptional work, and character. Should you have any inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact me. I extend my best wishes to Chu Yu for a successful career as an architect. With kind regards,

Multigenerational Living for the Sandwich Generation The Sandwich Generation, caring for their aging parents and raising their children simultaneously, is a noticeable phenomenon due to demographic changes in an aging society. They play a crucial role as informal caregivers in the healthcare system, which is significant in Dutch society, where professional caregivers are in short supply and nursing homes are no longer established. However, the burden of care negatively affects the health and quality of life of caregivers and the elderly. Therefore, it is critical to address the needs of informal caregivers and the elderly. This project integrates the strengths of care concepts from Taiwan and the Netherlands through research, interviews, and case studies. The concept proposes a coresident model where family members live together while having individual privacy. Moreover, optimizing the social support system by atriums and social amenities makes aging in place possible for the residents with strong family bonds and close neighborhood relationships.

Research by Design

COMMUNITY CENTER

HOUSING Library

The project comprises both research and design. The research thesis is focused on the research question addressed by the literature research, fieldwork, interviews, and case studies to answer the research question: How can a housing design contribute to the quality of life of adult children and their parents in relation to care and living together? The final research results are summarized in a Design Guideline, which provides guidelines for selecting sites and architects for future projects, aiming to achieve the Dutch policy on care for the elderly: age in place.

SENIOR DAYCARE CAFE

Programs from Home to Neighborhoods Based on the research findings, the site was selected. Programs were developed, starting with the smallscale home, extending outward to the neighborhood outside of the home, and finally expanding into the public spaces in the community altogether. The research concluded that quality of life is related to the mobility and social interactions of the target groups (caregivers and the elderly being cared for). Therefore, formulating programs focused on spatial accessibility and increasing the opportunities for neighborhood interactions has resulted in the developing of the following programs. 1. Community center 2. Library 3. Ontmoeten 2. Senior Daycare 5. Medical center 3. Cafe’ 4. Housing for SGF 6. Fitness 7. Roof garden 8. Playground 9. Communal space 10. Chat corner

Facilitating social interaction The community center on the ground floor consists of a community library, Ontmoeten, a cafe, and a children's reading area. The entire ground floor plays the role of a neighborhood living room; it is a place to stay as well as a crossing, where the space is arranged to facilitate encounters with each other, and the entrances are placed on each side of the building so that the users can choose the entrances according to their needs. The first floor is a reading area extending from the staircase seating in the lobby. On the second floor, there are independent entrances and exits for the senior daycare center and medical center, which ensure that the elderly in need of care can be protected and cared for in a safe and secure space.

Activities in the atrium The glass atrium plays a vital role in this housing: 1. It introduces sunlight into public spaces. 2. It regulates the ventilation and temperature in the communal spaces. 3. It serves as a chimney for smoke evacuation during a fire. 4. The corridor in the atrium is a route without dead ends, which prevents the elderly with dementia from losing their way, in addition to better observing their environment. 5. The circular walking paths in the atrium allow seniors to walk outside their homes during bad weather and increase the opportunities to interact with their neighbors. The chat corner in the atrium provides a space to relax and meet neighbors. It allows residents to personalize the space to help seniors with dementia identify the direction of their home and the environment so they can find their way home.

We moved into this apartment because my mom is getting order and we want to ensure she is not along. So, right now, technically, my mom lives with us. Her apartment is upstairs. This apartment really suit for the Sandwich Generation family like us. It reduces my anxiety of worrying about my mom. It is easy to take a look at her through the stairs on the balcony. Also, we each have private space. What do you think, Mom?

Type C

I like it very much because I have my entire private living space and I know I am not alone. Also, I can help my daughter’s family sometimes with their cat when they are not at home. I like to invite my friends to my apartment. We usually seat on the balcony and enjoy the sun, breeze, and beautiful views. Moreover, in the winter, indoor balcony is a good place to enjoy the sun without being cold.

We value a good relationship with mother in law and also our privacy. This apartment is suitable for us. We each have private space like bedroom, bathroom, and balcony. Moreover, there are two entrances in our apartment. So, when Eric has his friends at home, we enter our apartment through the second front door and stay in the multi-purposed room. Then, Eric can have entire space without interruption from us.

How do you want to live when you are old? Aging is a growing issue, and the existing housing and public spaces cannot meet the needs of the elderly. The Netherlands faces problems of loneliness and neglect of the elderly in the neighborhood. In recent years, there have been more and more proposals for collective living or cohabitation of different ages. We studied Moerwijk, a designated area for the course. We visited the residents in the community to understand the relationship between the elderly and their neighbors. We cooked dinner for the elderly at the local community food place. We shared the dinner with them, understanding their needs through conversations with the elderly to understand the needs of the elderly in the community. At the end of the three-week research, the existing building was chosen as the site. The layout and number of rooms were designed in the original building. A new architectural volume was added to the courtyard as a multi-functional café and bookstore for residents to meet and socialize with each other, aiming to promote social interaction and ensure a certain level of privacy and independence for the elderly living together through a self-sustaining mechanism.

What do the locals think about Moerwijk? From the interviews, local residents felt that security at night was a problem. In addition, most older people live alone and felt that there is still a lack of space for community interaction and a lack of organized activities. They mentioned that there should be more local café bars instead of expensive Starbucks and supermarket chains. Local seniors even mentioned that they missed the community library. In terms of future expectations, most people were comfortable with living with people of different ages and sharing some communal spaces, as long as they had their own independent spaces (e.g., a kitchen and living room).

Ambiguous edges: Steven Gould draws our attention to an important distinction in natural ecologies between two kinds of edges: boundaries and borders. The boundary is an edge where things end; the border is an edge where difference groups interact. At borders, organisms become more inter-active, due to the meeting of different species or physical conditions […] The Open City, Richard Sennett, p.8

Why preserve? SSP HAL is one of the industrial heritage located at the DRU Industriepark in Ulft. It was built and expanded in different periods owing to the iron industry's demands. Under the local community's and authorities' efforts, it has been reused and renovated since 2008. The hybrid architectural language and structure make the industrial park unique. However, it currently provides temporary uses for exhibitions and specific events. When there is no event, it is not accessible. That is to say, the SSP HAL is not used properly. From the new program of demands such as hotel, event hall, and restaurant from the local authority, we realized that the authority is strongly eager to attract people to this building, which is also the key to reusing heritage buildings. Without users, a building is just an empty box. The goal is to preserve the original values and to use design interventions to improve what is less obvious value.

What to preserve? As a result of analyzing and studying the historical research, SSP HAL has three crucial features. The first is the overall structure, which is structured in different periods, so SSP HAL differs from other iron factories. The beauty of the intertwined structure can be seen visually. The second is the materials: precast concrete window frames and brick walls on the façade. The third is the continuity of the façade; according to the archives, the continuous façade of the building prior to renovation makes the SSP hall unique. It creates a contrast with the surrounding buildings. The above three are the most valuable parts of the SSP HAL that are strongly recommended to be preserved after the site investigation and historical research.

From this diagram we can see the value of the SSP HAL in its current state, in all aspects of performance, we can see that the structure, the building envelope, and the surroundings are the most important values in this case, however the interior spaces and services need to be improved and enhanced.

Rural architecture in China In 2017, the Strategy of Rural Revitalization was formally proposed in the 19th CPC National Congress of China, and rural vitalization became the focus of national development since then. However, rural construction had been implemented for years in China. Its development was backed by China in a more systematic way when it was proposed in the 19th CPC National Congress; and it has formed its unique style and developed into a rural construction and renewal models with national characteristics due to Chinese unique political system, the world's largest population, and vast land.

As the Rehabilitation Plan of the Old Hanhonggou Village project architect, I visited the countryside in March 2019 to survey, design, draw shop drawings from April to June, start the construction in July, and formally complete it in August 2020. My team went to the site to survey and collect relevant data, and He Wei, the principal architect, selected six nodes as the origins of the overall rejuvenation plan. I managed the design, shop drawing, and on-site guidance for constructers.

History and Location of Hanhonggou Hanhonggou old Village, located in Qinyuan County, Shanxi Province, China, has been an ancient village since the Wanli Reign of the Ming Dynasty, and it was also the site of the logistics department for a party, government and military organs in Taiyue District; consequently, numerous slogans and buildings were left in the antique village then. Presently, residents have moved to the new village to the west side. Most of the old village houses are idle, enabling the overall rehabilitation plan to come true. Hanhonggou becomes well known for a flood discharge ditch in the village, which turns into a river in the rainy season and an access road for villager's passage in the dry rainy season. Because the sandstone terrain dominates the local area, various tableland features take on the local area after being washed by rain, the house types are also divided into housetype cave dwellings, ground-shaped cave dwellings, and common bungalows, and diversified landforms are presented in the village, adding quite a few features to Hanhonggou.

Red Tourism Village In recent years, Qinyuan County regarded Grand Green Qinyuan Tourism County as the mainstay for development. Hanhonggou has been treated as the major demonstration site for development thanks to its special history. We planned the project to be a red tourism village themed with the life of the Red Army. The local economy is expected to be invigorated, and the antique village is wished to be activated by introducing the tourism industry.

Inspired from Natural Environment As the sitting-out area of the entire village, this node presents a coffee bar, tea room, and historical relics to serve as the activity stage in the courtyard. The construction is the steel frame structure with glass windows on the facade which allows a better view and blends the building hidden in the cluster of trees. Additionally, local rubbles are used as facade materials in the space of the functional requirements, such as toilet, kitchen, and storage, which is built and piled by the local old craftsmen with stones one by one. The wooden platform extended from the building makes it possible for visitors to go out and enjoy the nature, allowing children to play in the sand pit, while adults are enabled to sit on the outdoor platform to appreciate the whole village and water landscape.

In the project, I was the project designer. In the phase of the bidding process, I participated in the design of the floor plans, façade, modeling, diagrams. After winning the bid, I was responsible for communicating with the clients and the consultant to coordinate the design issues. In the construction stage, I had meetings with the constructors on site. I was in this position in addition to increasing familiarity with the design, but also increasing the ability to communicate with all parties. Moreover, in practice, I had been able to work with the construction team in practice.
