New Taipei City Accelerates Old Building Renovation & Maintenance Subsidy
Architect’s Note
John Yeh（JYA 建築師）指出，對於結構狀況良好的既有建築，整建維護是一項具前瞻性且具社區意識的策略，可作為全面拆除重建以外的替代方案。透過有系統的安全強化與機能升級，不僅能延長建築使用年限，也能維持既有城市肌理與社區關係，回應高齡化與永續城市發展的長期需求。
John Yeh, architect at JYA, emphasises that for structurally sound existing buildings, renovation and maintenance represent a forward-looking, community-oriented strategy beyond wholesale redevelopment. Through targeted safety enhancements and functional upgrades, such interventions extend building life cycles while sustaining urban fabric and neighbourhood continuity in response to ageing populations and long-term urban sustainability.

Old Building Renovation Case Study
Architect’s Note
John Yeh（JYA 建築師）指出，本案顯示整建維護不僅是技術層面的工程更新，更是一個涉及社會協調與信任建立的過程。對於不具備重建條件的既有建築而言，透過具體的立面更新、安全強化與無障礙改善措施，不僅能有效延長建築使用年限，也能維持社區連續性與日常生活品質。
John Yeh, architect at JYA, notes that this case demonstrates how building renovation and maintenance are not merely technical upgrades, but a process of social coordination and trust-building. For existing buildings where redevelopment is impractical, targeted façade renewal, safety improvements, and accessibility upgrades can significantly extend building life cycles while maintaining neighbourhood continuity and everyday liveability.

Trust as the Cornerstone of Building Maintenance Projects
Architect’s Note
在本案中，最大的挑戰並非施工技術，而是建立住戶之間的信任。整建維護是一個需要讓每位所有權人清楚理解設計內容、經費結構與責任分擔的過程，唯有透過透明溝通、耐心說明與反覆討論，才能真正形成共識。
並非每一棟老屋都適合走向重建或都市更新。對許多社區而言，整建維護是在維持原有生活機能的前提下，改善防水、結構安全、消防條件與城市景觀的務實選項。本案也再次說明，成功的更新關鍵不在規模，而在於共識的深度。
In this project, the greatest challenge lay not in construction itself, but in building trust. Renovation and maintenance require every owner to clearly understand the design approach, costs, and shared responsibilities. It is a process grounded in transparency, patience, and continuous dialogue.
Not every ageing building is suitable for redevelopment or urban renewal. For many communities, maintenance and renovation offer a realistic and effective solution—enhancing waterproofing, structural safety, fire protection, and the overall urban streetscape, while allowing residents to remain in their homes. This project highlights how genuine consensus is the true foundation of sustainable urban renewal.

Old Building Renovation Case Study Trust as the Foundation of Successful Renewal
Architect’s Note
葉明翰建築師指出，在台灣多數老屋條件下，「整建維護」往往比重建或都更更為務實，也更貼近居住者真正的需求。這類案件最大的挑戰，從來不只是設計或施工技術，而是如何在住戶之間，以及住戶與專業團隊之間，建立穩固的信任關係。整建維護需要高度透明且持續的溝通，使每一位所有權人清楚理解工程內容、經費結構與長期效益，才能真正形成共識。唯有在信任被建立的基礎上，工程才能順利推進，建築也才能在安全、機能與城市景觀層面獲得實質改善。對建築師而言，這不僅是一項工程任務，更是一段陪伴社區共同成長的過程。
Architect Ming-Han Yeh notes that, under the conditions of many ageing residential buildings in Taiwan, renovation and maintenance are often more practical than redevelopment or urban renewal, while also responding more directly to the real needs of residents. The greatest challenge in such projects is rarely design or construction techniques alone, but rather the ability to build trust—both among property owners and between residents and the professional team. Renovation requires a high level of transparency and continuous communication, ensuring that every owner clearly understands the scope of work, cost structure, and long-term benefits before genuine consensus can be achieved. Only when trust is established can a project progress smoothly, allowing buildings to be meaningfully improved in terms of safety, functionality, and their contribution to the urban streetscape. For architects, this process is not merely an engineering task, but a journey of accompanying a community through shared growth and renewal.

Site Visit to Jade in Life Luxury Residence
Architect’s Note
感謝黃董事長親自帶領參訪耕建築最新住宅作品「耕玉」。基地位於大安公園周邊寧靜的巷弄之中，在城市核心難得保有安靜而從容的生活尺度。本案以克制而精緻的建築語彙，透過石材質感、比例掌握與景觀層次的細膩安排，展現精品住宅不張揚卻歷久彌新的特質。建築與環境之間維持恰到好處的距離與尊重，使居住回歸安定、舒適且具長期價值的本質，這樣的設計思維亦與 JYA 長期關注的人本住宅理念高度契合。
JYA would like to thank Chairman Huang for personally leading the site visit to Jade in Life, the latest residential project by Green In Life. Located within a quiet lane near Daan Forest Park, the project enjoys a rare sense of calm and privacy at the heart of the city. Through a restrained architectural language, refined use of stone, well-considered proportions, and layered landscape design, the development demonstrates a form of luxury that is understated yet enduring. The architecture maintains a respectful dialogue with its surroundings, offering residents a sense of stability, comfort, and long-term value. This is an approach that closely aligns with JYA’s belief in human-centred, timeless residential design.

How Do You Define Architecture? — Invited by National United University
Architect’s Note
建築並非由單一作品或某一刻的成就所定義，而是在時間中，透過不斷的實踐、反思，以及對責任的深化理解，逐步形塑而成。回望十五年的歷程，建築對我而言，已不再只是觀點的表達，而更是一種傾聽——傾聽使用者、場域，以及日常生活所面對的現實條件。
這場演講是一個重新檢視建築思維轉變的契機，從學院中的理想，到現實世界中的限制；從個人創作，到對群體與城市的長期影響。建築不只是形式或技術，更關乎耐心、信任，以及對時間的投入。它是一段持續進行的對話，連結時間、社會與人的生活經驗。
Architecture is not defined by a single project, nor by a moment of recognition. It is shaped gradually through time—through repeated practice, reflection, and an increasing awareness of responsibility. Looking back after fifteen years, architecture has become less about asserting ideas and more about listening: to people, to places, and to the realities that frame everyday life.
This lecture was an opportunity to reflect on how architectural thinking evolves from academic ideals to real-world constraints; from individual expression to collective impact. Architecture, in this sense, is not only about form or technique, but about patience, trust, and long-term commitment. It is a continuous dialogue between time, society, and human experience.
