Dog Apartment

Concept Statement
The stray dog is the emerging urban issue in Taiwan during urbanization process. In order to revise the current adoption system of the stray dog and improve this serious urban problem, the intention of this project is to use four  Architecture elements to create a new adoption mechanism in the city. 

Renovation Strategy 
This project preserves the old department’s  structure system and integrates it into the new design concept to create a innovated dog shelter. 

Dog Cube& Dog Truck
Dog Cube serves as a basic dog storage unit. This unit not only can use sustainable equipment to solve noise, odor, and other negation problems but also can help dogs to learn social skills. Moreover, this basic unit can cooperate with other architectural elements. It can be transported to each location by Dog Truck, serving as Dog’s room in Adoption Center and Large Shelter.
