Two other projects I would like to share from my recent trip back to Tainan City: Tainan Spring from MVRDV and Tainan Library by Mecanoo & MAYU Architects! Both perfectly fit the topic of public spaces / boundary / ownership in the urban context. Something interesting and "coincidental" (?) is that the Tainan City was colonized by Japan and Netherland back then, and now the city is visiting back designers from the respective countries to help improve the city. Tainan Spring / MVRDV / 2020 The site was originally a landmark shopping mall called "Chinatown" built in 1980, but has slowly lost attraction since 1990s and caused some environmental controversy by polluting the adjacent river. The adaptive reuse initiative started in 2010 and eventually MVRDV proposed an urban planning scheme in 2016 called the "Tainan Axis" that aimed to revamp the entire canal area by creating a defined axis with a lagoon landscape feature.  MVRDV's proposal for the Tainan Axis during the competition phase. Image from MVRDV.

AboutThis blog was launched in August, 2015 during my 8th year of studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain. I decided to start this blog and record some of my thoughts and moments. This blog is also dedicate to Richard Fu, a good friend of mine who is now guarding me from above. He inspired me to get out of the comfort zone and be curious about the world. Amig@'s blogs
