Designed by Dutch modernist architect J.H.Van den Broek in the 1930s, The
Eilandenbuurt flats is a pioneer functionalism housing project that sits in a
relatively traditional urban context in Rotterdam Zuid. Today the neighbour-
hood suffers from problems including difficulty in maintenance and low occu-
pancy. This project seeks solution through three actions: vary, adapt, engage.
In housing part I transform the heritage from repetitive layout into variant
(and merge-friendly) apartment typologies to adapt the need of today and
future. In the common floor area new interior street is introduced with green
patios and corners that invites the neighbours to meet up each other in a
casual way.

Qinhe Refuge House
The design and construction of rain season earthbag
houses for Taiwanese aboriginal residents
02
Transitional housing is the alternative for re-
location in cases the later is not preferable
with cultural and economy reasons. After
the Typhoon Morakot the Qinhe village is
more vulnerable to flood risk and the road
traffic it relies on is cut off easily. The refuge
house is a public facility for sheltering the
people and commodity during the isolated
raining season. The design is local sourcing,
low-tech and reversible. The local idle work-
force were hired by Atelier-3 to complete
their own project through the process of
"cooperative construction”. The light-weight
steel framing is a modular system used in all
post-disaster project and can be assemble
by the nonprofessionals. The earthbag wall
are excavated and assembled in-situ and can
be dismantle and reversed to orchard when
the granted an 3-year temporary licence is
expired.

It will be too aggressive to take photos of someone’s private
house and living. Besides, the scale of the street and its
surroundings could hardly be presented faithfully through
photography. So we try to record a street by sitting on stools,
house by house sketch every facade. It helps record both
architectural details and how public/private spaces are occupied.
