YongChun Case N. Unit

Taipei City Xinyi District Yongji Section Number 41 Urban Renewal Case N. Unit (YongChun Case N. Unit)


Project Origin

Originated from the consensus of the residents of improving their living environment, the application process was soon launched after this case unit was delimited as renewal area in 2000.
  1. Most of the renovation units in this case were originally the police dormitories of the National Police Agency of the Ministry of the Interior and some privately-built apartments, mostly violated or old buildings.
  2. Without proper management and maintenance, the community had become dirty and unkempt as time went by. The living space and building structures were no longer suitable for the growing populations.
  3. This case unit was delimited as renewal area by Taipei City Government in 2000.
  4. The public safety and sanitation of the buildings in the community were poor and causing negative effect on the appearance of the city.


Project Goals
  1. Stimulating the rational use of land.
  2. Increasing the quality of living environment: to create a comfortable living environment and to alleviate parking problems.
  3. Improving public safety and the appearance of the city: to increase seismic absorption and disaster prevention ability, to better public safety and public sanitation, to blend the buildings into the rest of the urban landscape, and ultimately embellish the overall urban environment.
  4. Building public facilities: to help creating new roads, to adopt peripheral sidewalks, to improve sidewalk pavement, to set back buildings and to increase the parking capacity to meet the neighboring demand.

Reconstruction Plan

Building Plan

  1. Land-use Plan
    • After the update of the case, four buildings (each 14 floors of building A, B, C and D) will be built. The first floor is planned for commercial use, and the rest floors are planned for congregate housing.
  2. Configuration Plan
    • Commercial storefront: To accommodate and meet the needs of the storefronts according to current commercial situation.
    • Landscape Trails: Take the 6-meter-long undeveloped planning road between north and south renewal units as the main axis. It is designed to cooperate with the buildings to set back to provide a comfortable and beautiful resting space for the community residents.
    • Pedestrian and vehicle circulation: Based on the principle of separation of pedestrian and vehicles, and considering the adjacent traffic flow, it is planned to set the lanes of vehicles and motorcycles in Lane 119 of Hulin Street to avoid mutual interference with the main pedestrian exit of the community.
  3. Structure System: The structural design plan is designed according to the high standard seismic specification after 921 earthquake. The main structure is S.C steel structure system.
  4. Establish a new community with security and disaster prevention: planning the overall disaster prevention and evacuation system.

Urban Design and Landscape Planning

The plan is to reconstruct 14 floors above and 5 floors below the ground. In terms of mass vision, we will respect and find harmony with the environment. The color of the building will also take consideration of the balance of the surrounding environment and design a simple façade to echo the city’s style, and also design the visual landscape that help enrich the urban environment. The surrounding buildings are set back and designed for pedestrian walkways, and with barrier-free moving lines to improve the effectiveness of disaster prevention and increase the comfort of pedestrian space.
 


Disaster Evacuation and Escape Plan

The height, lighting, ventilation, seismic resilience, evacuation and fire-fighting facilities, etc. of the buildings are all designed according to the regulations. The safety and disaster prevention are top priorities. The evacuation route in the buildings also is renovated.


 

Financial Planning
