Reconstructing Ville an d Cité — A Circular T ectonic System in Faith Island of Faith

Project locationTable Island, Penghu
University/SchoolNational Taipei University of Technology
Lead ArchitectCHEN,BING-KUAN

In Penghu, the proverb “To marry, first carry three years of old coral stones” reflects islanders’ collective labor and knowledge. After fishing declined, Hujing Islet shifted to tourism, but fast-consumption tourism has weakened cultural depth and settlement continuity. Local beliefs still sustain emotional and spatial ties. This study proposes a modular construction system linking public infrastructure with local industry. By engaging daily life and traditional craftsmanship, it rebuilds a circular model for offshore islands, using architecture for cultural regeneration and spatial repair.
