New Taipei City is a municipality located in the north of Taiwan. It is a donutshape city surrounding the economic center and capital city of Taiwan, Taipei City, and adjacent to Keelung City, a coastal city also an international container port, in the northeastern tip. These three cities together constitute a common living perimeter and the Taipei metropolitan area, which becomes the most prosperous and affluent area in Taiwan and gains regional importance in southeastern Asia.

The City of River The history and development of New Taipei City is highly correlated with a complex blue network of rivers, branches and irrigation ditch systems. With more than eighty percent of area occupied by mountains and hills, traditional settlement located on the basin area and plains along rivers and developed into densely populated urban area today. It is the most populous city in Taiwan, with total area of 2052.5667km2 and population of residents more than 3.8 million, accounts for 83% of area and 56% of population of Taipei metropolitan. taoyuan county
Green Future City For its reorganisation as a direct-controlled municipality in December, 2010, the city government sought for an overall strategy for future development of the city. In response to global climate change and transformation of the city under regional and globla competence, New Taipei City calls for sustainable developing stategy in every aspects, especially spatial governance. The city government proposed a slogan ‘New Taipei City, a Green Future City’ to declare their ambition and vision.

City of Multi-core Local Living Perimeters As a part of the Taipei Metropolitan, New Taipei City has served as a supportive supplier for the economic and political center, Taipei City. More than 50% of population in the city is migrators coming from southern and eastern part of Taiwan; they take their residence surrounding prosperous economic center and contribute to the archetype of urban area of New Taipei City, a city of migration.

The density of population in New Taipei City shows center tendency in districts near the southwestern part of Taipei City and plunges in remote rural area in the north and the east. Transportation circulation has enhanced the tendency. The MRT system provides convenient public transportation in central urban area, strengthens its inner accessibility and contributes to transformation of surrounding area. However, with stronger attraction of central urban area, remote rural area suffers serious problem of local economic decrease and change of social structure. That is, it is a M-shape distribution of economic power, social impact and population among districts of New Taipei City.

Green Transportation - Multi-layer Approach Low carbon transportation program is proposed based on existing public transportation program, including city bus, railway and, the most important, MRT system. Low carbon transportation program based on existing public transportation network and highway system is proposed. In the program, local core of each living perimeter plays the role of critical transfer post. Currently, each local core is well connected with major transportation network, accessibility with surrounding area and local settlements need to be adjusted and enhanced. The transportation network is therefore divided into three layers. 1. long-distance commuting with highway system/ railway 2. trans-perimeter traveling with public transportation system 3. daily commuting with communal shuttle bus and green vehicle transshipment program The program especially focuses on ‘the last mile’ from terminal station to destination of users. Supplemental projects includes refurbishment of pavement and bikeway system, communal shuttle bus and carpool system, shuttle of green energy vehicle and parking service for local transshipment nodes. transportation network among local cores of New Taipei City the last mile trasportation program

Treasure Hill is a former informal settlement in southern Taipei City, next to prosperous Gongguang district and campus of National Taiwan University. The settlement was founded by KMT veterans and their family, and later squatted and extended by the ruralurban migrants.
THAV (Treasure Hill Art Village) 14 studios for resident artists 12 offices for NGO and cultural industry groups Run by AIR TAIPEI since 2010
In 1980, the settlement and nearby area was delimited into park zone no.297 by Taipei City Government. Few years later, Taipei City Government reclaimed park zone by demolition and relocation, which aroused moral outrage among people and brought about furious protest and social activities. After more than 10 years of fighting and negotiating, the settlement was assigned as a Historical Settlement and preserved it in a form of “Symbiotic Settlement” with perspectives to provide on-site resettlement and revitalization opportunities. According to the reuse plan carried out by authorized professionals, the buildings and of the Treasure Hill are transformed into a multi-purpose public space, combined with the artist village, international youth hostel, open green field and community of original residents.

DESIGN for INTEGRATION The square is located in the center area of the Treasure Hill, which interwoven by three different kinds of user, including the artist and their visitors, the tourists staying in the youth hostel and the original residents.
Artist Residents - Outdoor Exhibition/Performance - Social Networking - Garden Farming
Our design concept is to integrate unique behavior modes of users and create spatial connection of three separate parts, original residents, the artist and the hostelers. Mult-actor Scenarios The design process was activity-oriented. By analyzing usersÂ’ behavior, we adopted several activities as design objective. The formulation of the square was the result of a repeating process of projecting, evaluating, stimulating and modifying, and the principle criterion of it was body adaptability.
Hosteler - Meeting Poing - Social Networking - Leisure Center
Tourists - Relay Station - Landmark - Meeting Point
Original Residents - Outdoor Dinning - Playground - Garden Farming - Gathering Space
Scenarios Adoptted Square with a big tree: Directed from a common Taiwanese spatial pattern, a temple square with a big tree, often to be a Bayan or a Camphor tree. It is an important public gathering place in traditional Taiwanese communities. Meeting Point: For travelers staying in the hostel and guests of the artists and the residents, an open and safe place with easy-to-identify landmark and convenient connections, they can stay for a while, waiting and relaxing, and then meet their friends. It might be a relay station for one-day tourists. Garden Farm: Undeveloped open field left for residents around the square, they can grow vegetables, spice crops and herbs for their daily dinning. Outdoor Salon: A place for people to gather, sharing experience, knowledge and enjoyment. Resident artists could have outdoor exhibitions and performance, workshops and parties here. Original residents might take is as an outdoor extension of the public kitchen.

LANDSCAPE TRANSFORMed main line
Located on a hillside, the square was a slope gently inclining. The average gradient of it was about 15%, which did not serve good quality of human activities. In order to create gathering place for users, we cut the slope into three parts, including two squares and a steep retaining wall.

ROUTE to SITE
original lanscape : steep hill
By analyzing daily routes of users, we proposed a solution to enhance better connection between the square and other parts of the Treasure Hill. The site was clearly cut into two parts, the upper and the bottom, which attracted two different kinds of users.

By setting an entrance deck on the main line and a side entrance of the Public Kitchen, we proposed to introduce both original residents and later-coming users, including artists, hostellers and tourists.

Modeling as a Process of Design and Communication The rough texture of the carboard made model responsed to the spatial texture of the informal urban village. Modeling was a critical process for us to recognize specific scale and form of our design. It also helped the users to realize how would the square become and provide specific opinions to the design.

COOPERATIVE DESIGN PROCESS The process of design was a collective action of 12 members of the studio. Every person had equal right to speak and share workload together. According to our targets, the original residents, the artist and the hostlers, scripts describing their daily life and behavior were implemented to form spatial scenarios of the square. The multi-purpose program of the square is the combination of these scenarios. The final presentation took place in the settlement of the Treasure Hill. The cardboard made model used as a method to communicate w/ the residents. Face-to-face communication w/ the residents helped us to realize and get close to daily life of them and then further modified our design.

THE LOST ISLAND of MAINLAND CHINA Sanchong Air Force Village is a former veterans village located on the east part of Sanchong District, New Taipei City, near the left bank of Tamsui River. It is a Historic Building designated by local authority, Department of Cultural Affairs of New Taipei City Government in August, 2006. The spatial structure and the fabric have formed a special culture of veterans village, which of great importance in contemporary Taiwan History. Built for nearly six million of troops and dependents withdrew from mainland China with the Nationalist Government in late 1940 to 1950s, veteran s villages emerged around military bases, often located in urban area, soon became one of critical components of urban landscape in Taiwan. However, urban transformation driven by fast growth of economy and change of social structure, veteran s village turned into eyesores for many local governments, investors and planners. According to reports, there were more than 800 veteran s villages dotted around cities and towns in Taiwan, now less than 140 are standing. These villages were torn down and the residents were relocated for urban redevelopment. Relocation, Ripped the Culture from Its Land The culture of veteran s village has lots to do with its isolated archetype. For their safety and distinguishability, the cluster of veterans often encircled by bamboo fences; the isolation and cultural gap between mainlanders and the Taiwanese sparked off the subculture of veteran s village. Therefore, the demolition of physical structure endangers the subculture; while houses are gone and people are separated, provincial dialects and cuisine, unique phenomena and spatial texture of the village are diminished.
existing site plan
Reposition in Modern Ccontext By maintaining local affection and redefining the function of buildings, the preservation of Sanchong Air Force Village will become a bond between local community and a unique culture and the history. The revitalization of the village has lots to do with local identity. Therefore, the opinions of local residents and administrative office should be taken into consideration.
COLLABORATIVE NETWORK Complicated relation of stackholders and negotiation among them played decisive role of the revitalization plan. Ministry of National Defense owns the property of buildings. However, the site is delimited as park land by Sanchong District Office. In 2006, the village was designated as historical building by New Taipei City Government.

The village was founded by the Air Defense Artillery Command in 1953. There were 59 households accommodating more than 300 residents. Relocation of the residents took place in 2009, most of them moved into an elevator apartment far away from the village.

With a Japanese anti-aircraft battery and bombshelter in the center, the village was developed into an enclosed-court type of settlement, which enhanced stronger isolation from outside local civil life and culture. Once was a drawback now becomes an advantage while preserving culture and spatial contexture of veteransÂ’ village. The size and patterns of each house represent the bureaucratic ethnic of the Nationalist army. Buildings Revealing Track of Life Existing buildings are the result of reconstruction and expansion of original allocated unit in response to different status of life cycle of residents.The site of Japanese anti-aircraft battery and bombshelter has been covered by concrete structured platform and served as a gathering place of the village.

Those buildings and organically growing gardens create unique landscape and special texture of the village, which becomes the key element of the revitalization plan.

Existing transportation is a vehicle-oriented program, of which people move from one spot to another with longer distance, lack of incentives to stop-by and ignoring everything along the route. Unfriendly walking environment makes people avoid travel by foot, which becomes an obstacle of local economy. The village is located on the corner of a minor road and external circumferential road, where people passing by and missing everything interesting inside. As traffic congestion and lack of parking space become serious problems in this area, a better transportation program is necessary.

In order to enhance better openness and connection with surrounding area, entrances and routes in site are redesigned. However, jerry-rigged construction and lack of care after relocation of residents, the buildings are worn down and suffering damage on structure. Some of them can be repaired by additional strengthening and serve as gallery, communal center, halfway house and so forth. Others might be demolished because of weak structure, creating open space and better connection of surrounding area.

Alternative of Traditional Park - Green Roof Garden & Skywalk Various material, size, types of roof and rooftop space contribute interesting spatial form to the site. Despite of planting on the ground, roof is another place that needs to be greened. Roof garden is a solution to achieve preservation of buildings and the lower limit of greening space of a park.

IT Is a Eco-refurbishment of an Old Building as green roof project becomes critical policy of urban transformation in Taiwan and around the world. it is a rether cost-saving and energy-saving way of spatial transformation. the bp building is a representative of the most common archetype of building in Taiwan, which accounts for more then 50% of built environment. the experience of the project will be a model for eco-refurbishment of old buildings in Taiwan. The building of NTU Graduate Institute of Building and Planning located on the southeastern corner of NTU campus. The office of NTUBP foundation is on the forth floor, the top floor of the building, which suffered hot and windless environment in summer. Leakage problem of the ceiling also need to be solved.
