Description of Our Community: Taipei is one of municipalities and it’s also the most prosperous metropolis in Taiwan. In this capital, it has its own development in history, then many historic downtowns are deep inside, and Dihua St. is one of it. Dihua St. is located in Datong district, and it’s the most preserved and historical significance in Taipei. It’s long been famous for Chinese New Year’s market and people are familiar with the so-called “Dihua St. shopping square”. In 1970, to meet the governments space reconstruction plan, people use modern art to the existing streets not only to keep old streets culture and history but to add something new to give new energy to activate them. Dihua St. is the most distinctive in Taipei; therefore, we want to know the effect of its space reconstruction.
Project Description: Dihua St. is located in Datong district over one hundred years and is also one of the most preserved historical streets. Every year on the coming of Chinese New Year, here is the big well-known street to do shopping. People highly demand in purchasing; the big street is crowded. People jostle in the crowd and are very hard to walk. It’s curious that why people will flock to this big street for Chinese New Year’s shopping each year. Dihua St. has a long history. With the time changes, are the stores popular and are tourists as many as usual? Space reconstruction is a new phrase in metropolis. For the space reconstruction in Dihua St., is it good as we expected? Does it bring better style, features and opportunities to local residents and stores? These questions are the key to push us want to explore further and we’d like to find out whether the space reconstruction in Dihua St. is successful or not.
