 Senior Veterans:
 According to the De nition of VAC, ROC, veterans who were born before 1934/12/31, and had already enlisted in the army in Mainland China.
 The group has a population of 271,495, the statistics of 2009/12.


The veterans become a neglected group as the social shift in new Taiwanese society.
They have highly cultural potential for all Taiwanese but the neglected group who is
powerless social stage has ever never been taken focus from existing government.

My intention is to create a meeting place that is not just only for veterans group but
also for inviting the neighbor communities to participate in and therefore the cultural
meeting can be motivate while people interact.

The site is a currently unoccupied children tra c park with three existing buildings. I
would like to reuse the neglected park as a new social resource by infusing the new
program of the veteran’s friendship center and citizen park.

There exist various kinds of meeting and I intend to make the meeting poetic. It’s a
place for veterans meeting instead of the veteran hospital (where they meet nowa-
days) and also a leisure place for the neighboring communities. Besides, it’s a place for
di erent cultures meeting as people join the cultural workshop or when people play-
ing Chinese chess under trees together, etc. The place makes chances for encouraging
veterans to meet and communicate with the new generation of Taiwanese people by
more natural and close methods o ering the further opportunities to acquaint young
age with the great culture assets.

       engage in these projects throughout Taiwan.

  • 1. Meeting Poetic Veterans Friendship Center and Citizen Park MO, KUO-CHEN / kuochen.mo@gmail.com veteransculturalandfriendshipcenter.blogspot.com Senior Veterans: According to the De nition of VAC, ROC, veterans who were born before 1934/12/31, and had already enlisted in the army in Mainland China. The group has a population of 271,495, the statistics of 2009/12. The veterans become a neglected group as the social shift in new Taiwanese society. They have highly cultural potential for all Taiwanese but the neglected group who is powerless social stage has ever never been taken focus from existing government. My intention is to create a meeting place that is not just only for veterans group but also for inviting the neighbor communities to participate in and therefore the cultural meeting can be motivate while people interact. The site is a currently unoccupied children tra c park with three existing buildings. I would like to reuse the neglected park as a new social resource by infusing the new program of the veteran’s friendship center and citizen park. There exist various kinds of meeting and I intend to make the meeting poetic. It’s a place for veterans meeting instead of the veteran hospital (where they meet nowa- days) and also a leisure place for the neighboring communities. Besides, it’s a place for di erent cultures meeting as people join the cultural workshop or when people play- ing Chinese chess under trees together, etc. The place makes chances for encouraging veterans to meet and communicate with the new generation of Taiwanese people by more natural and close methods o ering the further opportunities to acquaint young age with the great culture assets. 1 Historical Perspective 2 Cultural Perspective The ROC Government relocated to Taiwan after the Chinese Civil War in 1949; 1.
