Harmony Between Night Market and Residence - Traditional night market retrofit

Project locationTaipei, Taiwan
University/SchoolChaoyang University of Technology
Lead ArchitectWan-Hsuan Wu

For 30 years, the night market on Raohe Street has been full of visitors, with traditional snacks, temple culture and riverbank with rich historical background. However, the urban life created here has been gradually erased by unplanned urban renewal, with a lack of maintenance and improvement of existing buildings, unplanned new construction. Therefore, the new design is based on the construction of a new interface integration, the basic belief of the night market,and the transformation of the urban atmosphere and environment, expecting to give this night market a new local imagination.
