Introduction to HSIEH Ying-Chun，Tribal Architecture for the People
“I wandered around. Unlike most people’s idea of home, I don't live in a house. I only need a piece of cloth. I hate it when I see houses, and I hate the common architecture today.”—— Ying-Chun Hsieh, ArchitectAfter the 921 earthquake in 1999, architect Ying-Chun Hsieh led reconstruction in the disaster area. He worked with the Thao people from the Sun Moon Lake region to rebuild their homes, using simple construction techniques based on light steel frames. He has since worked on disaster reconstruction worldwide, and tribal thinking has become his core architectural concept. For nearly half a year, the program depicts the daily work of Hsieh and his civilian construction team in the Thao community, traveling to Taitung to build light steel-frame houses, and eventually returning to the Toeuana tribe in Alishan.
