This study is about the interaction between family life and house form. The general thesis is that while housing is largely a product of prevailing economic and technological forces, family relations as manifested in everyday household life play a critical role in the determination and transformation of house form. This study examines an interaction between the evolution of family structure and the transformation of housing in Taiwan to illustrate the thesis. Implications of this interaction are explored with reference to probable social, economic and technological developments.

520 $a This study is about the interaction between family life and house form. The general thesis is that while housing is largely a product of prevailing economic and technological forces, family relations as manifested in everyday household life play a critical role in the determination and transformation of house form. This study examines an interaction between the evolution of family structure and the transformation of housing in Taiwan to illustrate the thesis. Implications of this interaction are explored with reference to probable social, economic and technological developments.
520 $a In Taiwan, a prototypical form of multi-story walk-up apartment building has evolved based on the traditions of the Chinese and the Japanese houses. Concurrently, the family has evolved from extended households to nuclear and independent units. At present, however, there is some evidence of persistent needs for extended and new family relations which are manifested in the form of "modified-improved extended families.".
520 $a A descriptive analysis of housing transformation in Taiwan and a series of family histories are presented as a case study to show the details of the interaction between evolving family relations and changing forms of the multi-story building. Data for this analysis consist of direct interviews and observations of selected families, and secondary information gathered from Chinese sources. An interactionist perspective is used for the analysis of family life/house form interaction. The major propositions of this perspective are: (1) the physical environment evolves and holds meaning to the extent that it interacts with the people who make use of it and transform it, (2) interpretive analysis is most appropriate for architectural and environmental research, and (3) "design" is an integral and pervasive activity of social change and any specifications for design must therefore be in the context of social change.
520 $a Patterns of significant interdependencies between family life and house form are identified and analyzed. An interpretation and evaluation of these interdependences provide the basis for clarifying and defining possibilities in social action and in hoursing form. Aspects relevant to design such as space utilization, adjacencies, locational proximities, neighborhood relations, structural flexibility, appropriate technologies, and user participation, are considered in relationship to possible future developments in family life and house form.
520 $a This analysis shows that the family relations within a particular cultural, economic and technological context does play a critical role in the shaping of physical form, particularly at the level of the household spatial arrangements. Interpretations of the case study suggest that the increasing prevalence of "modified-improved extended families" will require changes in both the form of housing and in the design process itself. The urban family in Taiwan, in its current tendencies toward greater interrelatedness, will acquire greater social and physical resources for action in housing. Quantitatively and qualitatively, housing could be improved by an acknowledgment of these growing social resources and by some attention to the new forms of housing made possible through these social actions.
