" Living Together: Public Housing Design and the Ideal Modern Life " is one of Taiwan's Ministry of Culture's "Zero Emission Demonstration Exhibition Program," addressing contemporary issues of societal concern while adhering to Taiwan's environmental policies. Utilizing the strategy of circular usage and reduction, the National Taiwan Museum presents an array of about 40 public housing design cases from both global and Taiwanese contexts spanning various historical periods. The exhibition seeks to retrospectively examine the progression of public housing design and societal values associated with 'livability' throughout the past century. Running until November 10, 2024, this exhibition focuses on the challenges posed by urban population expansion and environmental overload. It explores practical approaches to improving living conditions and attempts to discover the realization of an ideal modern lifestyle. Centered on the development of public housing since the 19th century, the exhibition highlights efforts globally and draws comparisons to Taiwan's initiatives at different stages. Highlighted design examples encompass France's " Maison de Guise," the Netherlands' "Justus van Effen housing complex," Canada's "Habitat 67," and Taiwan's "Tainan Dongmen Town Municipal Housing" and "Dock, Miner, and Salt Worker Residences." These cases present the diverse development of public housing in different periods and regions, providing the audience with multiple perspectives on architectural culture.
