An irrational world of mixed functions and unorganised planning determines the physical appearance of Taiwan’s economic development. So-called guerrilla architecture is the focus here, “with particular emphasis on the non-professional, non-uniform, local and fragmentary subjects… especially on the small-scale free operation between the gaps.” The book seeks to inspire professional architects in the creation of space taking place within urban patterns and, by extension, offers insight into the social environment. Numerous examples are mapped and contextualised along with insightful texts.
