This proposal explores what change could be done in architecture with those missing connection between one and the other individuals in daily life. As the modern society turning a indifferent attitude towards others as a norm, a simple change of layout and the redefinition of scale of apartment should be made to create a place where residents are exposed to a bigger chance of interacting with their neighors.
The site was designated in an area where most places remained undeveloped, yet it experienced exponential growth in young immigrants due to the nearby technology park. Despite the rapid formation of this new community, construction companies applied the same generic typology in new apartments, overlooking the potential to create a close-knit neighborhood that could foster a stronger community.

the reading area offers people to quietly explore the information and knowledge they are eager to know. As a starting point for this awarness journey, when they are ready, they are good to go!
CONNECTING BRIDGES
Between the galleries, there are few bridges connected for the mobility for visitors to feel free to wander around, and get to the gallery they are mostly interested in.
COMMUNITY MEETING ROOM
As protest being a complicated event that required a lot of arrangement, this is where the people can discuss their plans and share their thoughts.
PROTEST PHASE
When the protest begins, the plaza share a space for protesters to rest and First Aid Support, and also an entrance for people to go all the way up to flight for their right equally with the government.
The circulation path wrapped around the building would not only for exhibition but for the protester to reach to the top .
The patio would only open during protests. It is where stands a warning and reminder for government that they stand equally in the system, also, the people should not be afraid to speak out for their voice because of their same importance as the government.

Industrialization is not only a representation of Kaohsiung, but also coexists with the urban living space. Examine the status of various productions in Kaohsiung from a macro-historical perspective, and use the holistic timeline to sort out the changes and processes of urban activities. In this thesis, Finding a new social activity that could bring the light to the unique perspective of this city idenity should be the first concern .
The site is a place where industrial manufacturing and urban life interact, offering a dreaming possible living space that opens up the next stage of industrial urbanism. The manufacturing process is used as the first step to start the design operation, and the movement configuration is used as the main body to try the interactivity of each space. Here includes the discussion of flows of workers, residents and visitors. Breaking the divided living space formed by the industrial city replicated in a matrix, interweave and mix the daily life of the variety of this city.
In 1949, the city›s population sprawled from the harbor to the mainland , from the westside to the eastside of the town. The surrounding of the site remained undeveloped.
In 1969, the main city›s population concentrated in the downtown , with the growing number of people gradually moving outside of the downtown. In 1984, the main city›s population concentrated in the downtown , with the growing number of people moving to suburbs.
In 2004, with housing shortage, people were building high -density housing to solve the problem. At the mean time, factories were coexist with housing in the city.
In 2014, the problem of aging population increased and a lot industries , the city people were starting to move out to northern part of the country for better chance.
In 2024, the urban zone has expanded to greater city with different types of buildings combined.
CONCEPT
DEVE LOPMENT
Throughout history, this site has remained one of the last industrial areas within the urban environment. As the surrounding area continues to develop with modern facilities, the implementation of Industry 4.0 manufacturing processes has transformed this space into a clean, high-tech environment where daily life can seamlessly coexist. Additionally, the factory has created a new social space for the city to enjoy.
New lifestyle was born in this neighborhood, this is the entrance of our home, our career and our life.

MRT STATION O9
DEVELOPMET
With the development of the MRT O9 station, this area is not only an interchange junction of the National Highway No. 1 but is also surrounded by schools, parks, stadiums and other places for residents› daily activities. The original Zhongzheng pedestrian bridge solves the needs for crossing the road from the east side to the west side of the national highway, and at the same time connects the flow of people at the Zhongzheng Martial Arts Hall and the circulation route of Zhongzheng High School students. With the renovation of the Kaohsiung Stadium (Kaohsiung highline), this proposal imagine a connect ion of pedestrian movement occurs from the Kaohsiung highline to the Chiang Kaishek Stadium to the Chiang Kai-shek High School, creating an axis for communication and stadium leisure. Improve and add to the original flyover to achieve optimal use.
