Taiwan's Reality: Small Blocks, Many Landowners, Mixed Building Types

A typical Taiwanese urban renewal site. The site is not large, a small block tens of meters square; it mixes four or five-story old apartments, two or three terraced townhouses, one or two corrugated iron factories, and an empty parking lot, with varying ages and heights of buildings. The property rights of each building belong to different people. Behind it are equally dense alleys. This fragmentation is the reason for the difficulty of integration. Avoid: depicting the site as a complete large block, making the types and heights of existing buildings consistent, depicting the surroundings as empty, ignoring the close proximity of alleys and neighboring buildings.

一個典型的台灣更新基地。基地不大,是幾十米見方的一小塊街廓;裡面混雜著四五層的老公寓、兩三棟透天街屋、一兩間鐵皮工廠與一塊停車空地,屋齡與高度都不一樣,每一棟的產權屬於不同的人。後方緊鄰著同樣密集的巷弄。這種破碎是整合困難的原因。避免:把基地畫成完整的大街廓、讓現況建築的類型與高度一致、把周邊畫成空曠、忽略巷弄與鄰棟的緊鄰關係。
