Focusing on proposals envisioned by young architects for the city of Taipei, this publication 'Hetrogeneous Taipei. Post-60 Mid/low-Rise Housing Renovation Makes The City' addresses wider themes in urban development and habitation, such as quotidian elements, common space and housing as urban intervention, and seeks to redefine current discourse on residential approaches in the city.
