In early human civilization, cities were built around arable lands and rivers because Food was the fundamental request for the early settlement. Modern agribusiness isn't just about producing food, it is about maximizing the profit to be made from it. "Food Urbanism positions food as a primary transforming force capable of organizing the city and enhancing the urban experience"(Darrell Bruce).
I believe a dynamic foodscapes has a huge potential especially for old city area renovation, it can bring more diversity to the city and optimize some really special urban experience.

Taipei’s urban planning was intended to build a pure consumer city.

I tried to investigate how a scaled-down alternative food network can address a solution to the long-distance and safety problems and enable a responsive, sustainably, and close-to-food urban community, especially in Taipei’s unique context.

The current situation of the site is dominated by commercial functions, and the streets are clearly classified. There are 4 informal night market streets and diverse existing food spaces. And they all exist on the ground floor of Taipei’s unique architectural form—the loggia. I see my project as a dynamic urban renovation process, which has different phases to reorganize the food spaces on the site.

Hi, I am Yaxin Wang, an urbanist/architect.
First and foremost, I love and deeply believe in the power of design. Majoring in architecture design made me a better person. Always be passionately curious about the world is the impact of my seven-year architecture-studying on me.
An urbanist I want to become is more like a hacker into a city, who lurks there and searches for loopholes in the site, to create and restore space through architectural design.
Before full “mechanization” of the village, I hope I can be a disruptive “programmer”, quietly stealing into the “internal program” of the large “machine” (city) and writing some unique and even “wrong” codes into it so that it will no longer be a place with a unified and dull look.
Strongly believed in the bottom-top design, a way to originates from humans’ perception of detail and is then generalized. And space itself grows internally and iteratively, evolving into a new order.
If you want to chat about urban planning, architecture, landscape, or anything related, I would love to get in touch!
