MDVs were built for married military personnel and their families following the Kuomintang\u2019s retreat to Taiwan after the Chinese Civil War. As walled spaces dotted throughout Taiwan, MDVs were residential spaces for exiled military members steeped in the Kuomintang\u2019s anti-Communist mission but who were never able to reclaim the Republic of China\u2019s original territory. The temporary-turned-permanent presence of MDVs in Taiwan reflects accommodation with new sovereign territory and attendant postwar social transformations. By evaluating the sites through the lens of their spatiality&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;their morphological variety, their geographical distribution, their aesthetic elements, and waves of upgrades and reforms&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;this paper sheds light on the household-level experiences of great-power politics in East Asia during the Cold War and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Lecturer\uff1aMax D.
