競賽名稱 : HOUSES FOR CHANGE ARCHITECTURE FOR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
競賽主旨:
For the first time in history, more than half the world’s people live in cities. Over 90 percent of urban growth is occurring in the developing world, adding an estimated 70 million new residents to urban areas each year.
This is coupled with estimates that about 1/3 of the world’s population are slum dwellers. These settlements may be called different names – slums, villas miseria, favelas, bidonvilles, shantytowns – all have a common denominator of urgency and they are fast becoming the norm in our societies. While urban poverty is a complex situation, the physical environment of housing is one crucial aspect to be dealt with if this problem is to be tackled.
The purpose of the competition is to consider housing as an urgent and basic component of improving urban environments for the poor and at risk. Architecture students and recent graduates of architecture, along with peers from other fields forming multidisciplinary teams, have a unique role to play in suggesting solutions and approaches in response to the housing crisis facing many cities today.
Buildings and projects are place-specific and must take into account not only physical realities, but also cultural, economic, and the social context. Entries are invited for housing that is appropriate and affordable for a specific place (identified by the participating team). The housing must be for an urban area, and therefore address the needs of many. Schemes or units should be designed so the model can be reproduced/duplicated…(Entries for only one unit or a single family house or for a rural environment are NOT appropriate).
The housing proposed should respond to the needs (geographic, economic possibilities, materials, construction processes, cultural context, etc.) of a specific community or place, selected by the competition entrants. Participants are reminded that the proposal is directed at those in the most fragile economic situations – the poor and disenfranchised- and should selected their community accordingly. The design solution and budget must not assume government subsidies or support.

設計概念:
The upper floors are dedicated mainly for living. But as the residents come from low-income background we will provide them enough space to encourage them to start also their own business there.
As the Taiwan’s land is limited and the cities are very dense most of the urban functions are very mixed. This is very convenient for people as they do not need travel long distances. We want to preserve these local customs so we create a space that provides a big mixture of commercial, residential, social and other activities.
The Taipei City is the second most dense city in the world with population over 10 millions. The land area is very limited. In Wanhua District – the location of our site, there is just 3.2 square meters per person. We can feel that the city is crowded with people and heavy traffic. The number of city buses has increased several times, also the number of scooters and cars is increasing every year. We think that the city needs a safe place for pedestrians.
To create a safe place for pedestrians we raise up the building on columns, so that the original crowded roadside market activity can all move to the large ground floor area. There is more space for the market, also a place to rest, gather and space to meet elderly population to get together to chat, play chess…We believe that this place will create an active community life.
At the section diagram we can see that the system is very porous. There are many gabs between the units that provide a good ventilation and lighting conditions.
We use the typology of the common illegal additional buildings in Taiwan. But when we use different materials and put it to our organized system it becomes a “safe nest” that provides also a large area for outdoor activities, green space, makes more sunlight to enter, takes away moisture and reduces internal hot.
