修復現代生活遺址 Repair the Ruins of Modern Life

半夜2:00華燈初上，路上泛著微微黃光，駛進一片漆黑的空地，片刻，一位魁武的男子悄悄的把豬隻扛在肩上， 步伐緩緩拖進市場，此種種景象讓我對這個獨具生活感的場域產生好奇。

台灣的市場多藏於街廓中，或是建於廟旁。在台灣，因為騎樓設置，連續的都市商業空間形成很精采的街道介面，但精彩的生活往往停在街廓表面。台灣多數街廓內的市場卻打破了這個無形的空間界線，將人群帶至街廓內產生活動，呈現特有的生活感。

然而我覺得這種生活感卻沒有被適當的公共空間所容納，甚至私有化，造成都市過於擁擠。且因新興商業崛起，多數傳統市場面臨被新時代淘汰的邊緣，宛如遺址一般。我認為一個城市的豐富性和市場文化有很大的關聯性，作為社會包容性最高之空間類型，是個翻轉現代公共與社交的契機。

Taiwan' s markets are mostly hidden in the blocks or built by temples. In Taiwan, because of the arcade, the continuous urban commercial space forms a very splendid street interface, but the wonderful life often stops on the street surface. However, most of the markets in Taiwan broke this boundary, bringing people into the blocks.

However, I feel that this sense of life has not been accommodated in appropriate public spaces, or even privatized, causing the city to be overcrowded. And because of the rise of emerging businesses, most traditional markets are being eliminated, just like ruins. I think the richness of a city has a great correlation with market culture. As the type of space with the highest social tolerance, it is an opportunity to turn modern public and social.
