Description of Our Community: Reinforced concrete has been a key material in domestic construction. To which, sand is an indispensable basic element. In early days, it was easy to obtain and pretty cost effective. As the awareness of environmental protection had risen and for the policy of soil conservation…etc. Consequently, the northern Taiwan was in seriously short of supply. Causes the unfilial industry robber to pick without the processing sea sand and government’s failure to supervise, blocks of dangerous sea sand buildings were constructed and it was a serious issue that demanded discussion.
The original lot of Fulin community buildings , located in Shih-Lin district, was erected between 1979, 1980 and completed in 1981. A long rough passage with residents’ high expectation, which required much courage, patience and wisdom to overcome unforeseen difficulties to start the reconstruction project began right after the first case of house exfoliation and structure erosion had been found in 1994. It took years to complete this “mission impossible” and has set up the first national model of the successful reconstruction from hazardous sea sand buildings.
Project Description: Fulin community buildings is the first community reconstructed successfully from sea sand houses in Taiwan. The reconstruction was finally granted after uncountable petitions made by community residents. In retrospect of the whole enduring process, we’ve learned not only the significance of cooperation but also the necessity of probing into the forming of sea sand houses as to diagnose our own housing.
1. Investigate the causes of sea sand houses and influences on our daily lives. 2. Understand the long path to reconstruct the houses. 3. Experience the importance of cooperation among community residents. 4. Learn how to examine our own houses. 5. Utilize adequate forms and tools to display the data acquired. 6. Educational campaign to promote the belief in guarding our families.
