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.

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.
