"SurRounding", is discussing how public housing, gentrification and real residents’ lives can be embodied in living space.
In the development of Taiwan’s gentrification, buildings are newly built-in response to the world’s trends, residents are screened through free economics to determine whether they can live or not. And my question is, is there a better option to change the living quality of place except for getting through the pattern of large-scale demolition, construction of standardized buildings and population replacement?
Wanhua District retains the original faith factors and unique life patterns of the city, which has shaped many public houses scattered after 1976. Among these public houses, the Huajiang national housing is placed at the junction of urban development and changes. The primary object of development and renewal is also the reason why I finally chose Huajiang national housing as my site.
Specifically, how could the state of life reflect in Huajiang national housing?
