背景

新竹市將軍村原稱金城新村，為1958年興建之眷村聚落，其規劃參考陽明山美軍宿舍，獨棟獨院獨戶的格局，為高階軍官之眷舍，原有89戶，目前僅存15棟。2015年指定為新竹市歷史建築。於2016-2019年進行第一期修復及規劃。將軍村目前呈現錯落有機的樣貌，反映多年來的眷村生活、時間堆積及空間堆疊的過程。

再利用計畫以開放圖書資訊園區為定位，四大學門為：向傳統學習／向在地學習／向自然學習／向未來學習。反映保存眷村文化、交織多樣族群、流動多元資訊、納融多象文化及傳承在地傳統等議題；轉變資訊與知識的載體，開創當代性文化空間。

設計概念

1.面對歷史脈絡的基地場域特質，以續接記憶、修復空間、保留尺度、打破封閉、縫合園區 為原則，修復空間、生活、記憶、生態、面域，保留既有痕跡，低姿態置入新系統，重塑新與舊之串聯。

2.回應開放圖書資訊園區的定位，以流動性、透明性、開放性、系統性的特質為概念，導入規劃設計，塑造知識生產與事件交換的場域。

設計策略

承續時間的永續性－置入現代結構安全與設備系統，延續歷史建築生命週期，清晰呈現不同時代的片段。

保留生活的常民性－以保存修復的態度介入，維持既有的尺度感/空間感/材質感，保留生活的常民性。

修復的時代辨識性－必要保存措施採用新工法介入，使用一次性材料及工法，如：清水模、耐候鋼與木材，與現況既有二次性工法對話，產生時代辨識的自明性。

縫合環境的整體性－整體園區被道路分割，為增加民眾活動的面域，採取新增人行道、縮減路寬、改變部分道路鋪面以降低車速及車流，縫合現況園區為一體。

打破封閉的流動性－既有圍牆造成空間封閉感及分割。增加圍牆透明性，產生流動感，創造聚集節點與串門子路徑，並維持既有生活空間尺度感。

修補生態的循環性－以食物森林可食地景為概念，拆除原本大面積柏油鋪面，導入透水鋪面、雨水循環系統、都市農耕、自然生態循環及土地倫理等資訊，產生向自然學習的空間。

彈性構造的可逆性－考量歷史建築的特性，採用輕鋼構築系統與歷史建築銜接，未來若有修改或變更的需求，輕鋼構築系統具有彈性拆除或再變更的可逆性，保有歷史建築具有的文化特性。

使用機能的系統性－因應園區使用機能需求多元，以系統性的設計歸納，增設現代電機設備區採用木格柵系統；增設活動戶外活動棚架採用輕鋼構造系統；必要性再利用空間採清水模系統；修復歷史建築主屋採用既有工法系統，維持整體空間一致性及系統性。

匯聚族群的共融性－原眷戶、新住戶及青壯年、兒童、婦女、訪客等各樣族群，在將軍村各自有適切的活動場域。

Background

The Generals‘ Village was constructed in 1958. There are 15 original buildings remaining. The village was constructed after the Second World War to accommodate military families arriving with the KMT from mainland China. It was designated a landmark district of Hsinchu City in 2015. Planning and restoration commenced from 2016 through 2019. The original village reflected the lives of military families as a unique sub-culture of Taiwanese history. The restoration plan envisions an open book information park, reflecting the diversity of ethnic groups, information and cultures. The flow of information and knowledge will be divided into four groups: Tradition, Local culture, nature, and future. It will be shared with four universities.

Design Concept

1. In response to the open book information park we propose concepts of mobility, transparency, openness, learning classification and multi-discipline in our planning and design.

2. Faced with this historical context, we propose concepts of continuity with historic memories, restoration of spatial experience, retention of scalar elements, shatter enclosures, and spatial integration. Our design restores space, life, memory, ecology, surfaces, and retains existing spatial traces. We insert new infrastructures and reconnect the new and old with restraint.

Design Strategy

The Continuation of time—— We install new infrastructures into existing historical buildings, clearly presenting the fragments of historic layers.

Retain the every-day-ness of life—— Respecting the existing scale, spatial sense, and materiality, our attitude of intervention is to restoration and continuation of life.

The identification of restored spaces—— Part of the restoration uses new construction methods to dialogue with existing material and methods clearing identifying the different eras.

The integrity of the environment—— The whole district is divided by vehicular roadways. We increased pedestrian pathways, narrowed roadways, repaved roads, recommend reduction in speed limit, and increased areas of public activities in an effort to integrate the park.

Increased mobility—— Existing walled house give a collective sense of closure. We created more transparencies in walls, more spatial nodes and paths, and maintain the existing sense of spatial scale.

Rebalance the ecology—— With the goal of creating an edible forest landscape, we recommend the demolition of large areas of asphalt paving. In replacement, we envision the construction of open spaces in harmony with nature and ecology with permeable paving, new rainwater circulation system, urban farming, and community management,

The integration of communities—— The Generals’ Village will accommodate the original families, the new households, young adults, children, women, visitors and other ethnic groups, each in its appropriate zones of comfort.
