BRIEF A<br />
Marketplace in Taipei<br />

‘As an architect, you design for the present, with an awareness of the<br />
past, for a future which is essentially unknown.’<br />
Norman Foster<br />
‘Architecture has its own realm. It has a special physical relationship<br />
with life. I do not think of it primarily as either a message or symbol,<br />
but as an envelope and background for life which goes on in and around<br />
it, a sensitive container for the rhythm of footsteps on the floor, for the<br />
concentration of work, for the silence of sleep.’<br />
Peter Zumthor<br />
Architecture is shaped by patterns of DAILY LIFE. If we wish to<br />
understand the city, one place we may visit is the MARKET. It is a hybrid<br />
mixture of CULTURE AND PEOPLE of the city.<br />
Before the shopping mall or the supermarket were invented, the<br />
Market serves not only as a place for the exchange of goods, but also as<br />
a communal space for people. Internet enabled modes of consumption<br />
and mega air-conditioned malls do not replace the market; not only their<br />
affordable price of goods, but also the variety of choice available and life<br />
knowledge exchange.<br />
Taipei is famous for its night market and street life. It is a walkable<br />
city because the topography of Taipei is in generally flat and the city<br />
is organised in multiple centres. The Market plays an important role<br />
activating the street life of Taipei.<br />
The site for the project is an existing historical building surrounded<br />
by local markets. Students have redesigned the building as a NEW<br />
MARKETPLACE with the addition of a new COMMUNITY CENTER<br />
above it.<br />
