Prompt: The Metropolitan Village consists of volumes that share a central services core. The volumes - each with a distinctive façade - interlock with each other to create more than 30 different living unit types that support various post-pandemic lifestyles. The building has shared facilities on different floors, which create layers of social spaces in Taipei.The building site is defined by the front and back sides that are distinctive in scale and character: the front side faces a 40m wide main road of the Xinyi commercial area; the back side is a 6m wide street within the Wenchang district infused with local daily activities. The volumes forming the Metropolitan Village respond to the different proportions of the buildings in Xinyi and Wenchang.The main façade is composed of a curtain wall system and aluminum panels that form a durable skin for the machine for living in. Where the living spaces that require minimal privacy are located, patterned glass - commonly used in the interior of old Taiwanese apartments as partitions - has been used for the balustrades. Activities behind the patterned glass become a mosaic indicative of domesticity.
