我最喜歡的台東建築.
Great photo article about the Taidong White House. My favorite structure in Taidong. I like the comparison with Howl's Moving Castle. To me it has a very organic appearance, and looks a little like it's melting.
(英文小翻譯) The article is in Chinese, so I'll put some info in English here: The house is owned by an elderly veteran from Guangxi Province called Mr Li. He's built it up over the past forty years with found materials and other recycling. The house stands alone on the edge of a large empty plot near Taidong beach. There was a factory here, which was recently demolished.
The factory owners offered to buy the white house for a lot of money, but they were refused. Mr Li has a son, who married and now lives in Kaohsiung. He waits for him to return to Taidong, and he keeps the house for him. He is constantly repairing and wants his home to exist in harmony with nature.
(I took these two photos just before sunset, and there were many sparrows lined up on the roof. The house is undoubtedly weird looking, but it does seem to naturally fit in to the landscape. Mr Li sadly wasn't around. I put it on here if you want to find it: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit… ).
