How Can Private Dwellings Contribute to the Public Built Environment Through Their Common Spaces? ——— A Horizontal Readi
In general understanding, detached single houses in Taiwan have consistently been associated with private ownership and personal space. This project seeks to reassess private dwelling from the perspective of modern products and urbanisation: aspiring to return to a societal nucleus—the family—as a reflective slice of the built environment. It contemplates how the four individual dwellings designed by 和光接物 Architects, transitioning from wild fields to urban landscapes, redefine the notion of private residences. The focus is on how, through common spaces, they cultivate an awareness of daily sanctuary and departure for life, survival, and other species within a broader domain. This, in turn, contributes to the spatial production of social relationships, transforming them into more than just visually appealing products but rather genuine dwellings.
