The pursuit of social progress and development must be accompanied by a large amount of infrastructure, however, in Taiwan, more than 800 idle buildings have been accumulated In the past 2 decades. Not only wasted more than 261 billion NTD in construction costs but also make the debt of Taiwanese government approaching to 7 trillion NTD. A lot of new construction not only wastes many public funds but also produces a lot of waste. The construction of each new building will result in energy consumption and manpower consumption, in addition, it will also cause a lot of air pollution during the construction period.
Therefore, how to redesign and recreate the idle buildings and turn them into the ideal public spaces is an important issue to think about. In this case, the concept of the construction is to compose the variety of different function by the most simple components. Try to maximize the flexibility of space reuse on the premise of minimizing the construction costs and resource consumption.

The design of Clip Housing provides a new strategy of affordable housing to Sydney residents. Meanwhile, it brings an idea of sharing and environmentally friendly lifestyle to the urban culture.
Flexibility is a point of this design. The mean idea of this design is modular system, which uses four different prefabricated units to realize fast and low cost constructions. Furthermore, the vertical patchwork maximally tries to solve the overcrowded housing problem. Using the four different units and the combinations creates interesting and inclusive public spaces.The design can provide a green, low carbon dioxide emissions and healthy environment. We consider the lighting, ventilation, greening, eco-materials, water recycle system and multicultural residents in Sydney creating enjoyable, convenient and open spaces.
