They reclaimed and came to Taiwan in the very early time, so Huang Family had developed to a great scale of settlement. The building materials of Huang Family included lots of clods, straw weaving bamboo and red tiles, and this kind of building is also called “Adobe brick house”. The most famous one is “Huang’s Ancestral Hall”, where descendants pay religious homage to their ancestors. However, the changes of the social civilization and living standard in country couldn’t compete with other rapid gross cities. It not only made young generation prefer to work in advanced cities, but also caused the low population rate in Fenyuan. These causes forced people there to face some serious deserted space problem, such as abandoned constructions, dirty environment and a dead corner of public security. The problem blurred the importance of preservation to culture in settlement cluster and architectural space. Therefore, how do we reuse of local rural buildings and reappear of local culture and spirit to sparkle buildings’ original value, is the main core of this design. The design is divided into two parts to discuss the activation in cluster spirit .One is by collecting rural historical review and original architectural data to understand rural architectural space and way of lifestyle. Using the theory in “GENIUS LOCI” observed the essence of cluster space, and started from guaranteeing the right of aboriginal inhabitants and conserving original building outlook. The design concept expresses the way of “flow”, “transparence”, “respect” and “spot” to integrate diverse deserted space and build up the new impression. Second is by interviewing locals to gather cluster and architecture related data as a foundation. It becomes a model of cluster settlement by imitating actual analysis, suggested strategy, reassessment function and reuse to reach the goal of local living standard and future development. The design advocates the concept of “sustainable settlement” by remodeling architectural space to let inhabitants have better living quality. As the maintenance part, it should target on tourism and agricultural promotion to provide a platform for local farmers. For culture part, it is suggested to link with schools in neighbor to train in deeper knowledge of history for guiding. This method not only can allow locals to know more about its own culture, but also can arouse people’s sense of identity to local culture. Through continuous carrying out the above ways, this valuable settlement will have a stable growth and development.
