Introduction of Hsieh Ying Chun, People's Architecture Born from a Tribe
“I wandered around, unlike the average person's idea of home. I don't live in a house, I'm a piece of cloth. I hate it when I see the house, and I hate the way it is today.” —— Architect Tse Ying-chun
‍After the earthquake in 1999 and 1921, architect Tse Ying-chun undertook the reconstruction of the disaster area. He worked together with the Shao family of Sun Moon Lake to build a house with a simple building technique based on light steel frames. He has since worked on disaster reconstruction around the world, and tribal thinking became the core concept of his building. For nearly half a year, the show depicts Tse Ying Jun and his civilian construction team in the Shao family's daily work, traveling to Taitung light steel frame houses, and returning to the Danyana tribe in Alishan.
