The 100 kilometers that separate the sea coast from Mount Jade (Yu Shan), the highest peak in Taiwan, pass through fourteen climatic types, which on a global scale would normally be distributed over an area of 10,000 kilometers. Yet, Taiwanese large buildings seem to be trapped in concrete everywhere in the same way, unable to dialogue with such a diverse, hard-to-domesticate environment. Freeing itself from postcolonial, global and postmodern descriptive methods, the exhibition develops on four different levels (entrance corridor, landscape documentation, projections, design proposals), articulating in each of them a strong experimental and dynamic vocation for an architecture that uses technology and the lessons of the past to face the future.
