Project Description
This project is an implementation plan of the Executive Yuan’s Happiness Project Policy-Infrastructure Plan, which is divided into two parts of time execution, conceptual software communication, and construction hardware construction. The design concept proposal integrates many town characteristics and local industries. To enhance the stream of tourism in the countryside, build a livable town, and create industrial mobility, residents voted to decide which area should be rebuilt, give suggestions and opinions. The design team selects the Swifts, which is an important ecological role in the village, as the main image design in the Yiwu area. As for the building materials, the design team selects red tiles and iron windows, which represent the DNA of the countryside. The design team prioritizes long-term maintenance and restoration in the future and integrates image design to builds and repairs public places for residents. At the same time, this project provides an opportunity for community building practice, allowing college students to join the construction of the pavilion park with the workers to learn and understand the challenges and difficulties of design.
