The architecture of the family village

In 195s, most of the villages were built in simple houses on public land, except for the buildings left over from the Japanese occupation. Among them, the most common difficult house is the family house with straw and bamboo mud walls on the roof. After 196s-197s, after being built at the expense of the military, most of the homes were made of bricks, with private toilets, bathrooms, kitchens, main beams, roof tiles, electric wires and other equipment. The evolution of this building is similar to that of buildings in Taiwan Province outside the village. However, since the late 197s, the real estate in Taiwan Province outside the village has been booming, and a large number of houses have been built and rebuilt. However, due to ownership and other factors, the village cannot be rebuilt, especially the living area of each household is only 6 to 1 square meters except the courtyard. Since then, the appearance of brick bungalows or reinforced brick low-rise villages has rapidly fallen behind, especially in the metropolitan area.

generally speaking, the scale of dozens to hundreds of families will usually become a single community that is approximately isolated. Although this feature makes residents in the same family village interact closely, they cannot communicate with the outside of the community. Coupled with the narrow living space, the lack of public facilities, the backward construction of the village as soon as possible and other factors, we finally sought a strong appeal force by rallying our strength, and there was an unexpectedly strong unity in the community.

For example, Sisinan Village, the first family village at No.5 Songqin Street, Taipei, is a microcosm of the new architectural appearance of the family village, which inherits the law of traditional family village and the mode of collective control. Sisinan Village is the area where employees and their families of the 44th Military Factory of Lianqin in Qingdao, mainland China live, and used to be the warehouse of the Japanese Army. The whole building is a "fishbone" structure, made of bamboo chips and lime mud, and the later building is a brick wall structure. Sisinan Village was originally planned to be demolished in 1999 with the reconstruction policy of the family village, but in March 1991, it was listed as a "historical building" by the Taipei Municipal Government, and in October 1993, it was changed into a citizen's hall in Xinyi District, where the life in the family village was exhibited in the form of a museum, and citizens were offered to rent it as an exhibition venue. There are also Sisi Square and Cultural Park. The original building has not changed, even the wall is still preserved.
