Abstract

Social media has been part of a human’s daily life that usually becomes one of the communication tools in this social environment. Social media has changed the traditional architectural design process; people will know, hear, and learn from online technology. Nowadays, a design project cannot just focus on the spatial relationship; to execution, the architectural design project is essential to connect people’s minds. A strengthened link between architectural design and all kinds of social media in the digital era is expected to reinforce the idea of urban creativity and place-making strategy. In Taiwan, the participatory place-making strategy put into practice this research mainly focused on applying Facebook, YouTube, and website with the design process. Social media technology is designed to develop the architectural project process that has been seen and communicated to the public; through this platform, people can brainstorm the idea easily and adjust comments quickly. Furthermore, it will indirectly tie up the connection between the place and people, effective communication, teamwork, self-learning, and environmental design to implement the social practice. Also, place-making is established based on a CO-UP Studio within the architectural design group by combining professional skills and operating social media together. All results indicate that the CO-UP studio is attracted by people with initiative, leadership, and execution characteristics to operate a real project in an urban area as a design topic independently according to the specific objectives in Taiwan.
