Department of Urban Development, Taipei City Government

To explore livable imagination in the future, Taipei City Urban Regeneration Office will host an event called “NEXT PLAY – HuaShan Green Factory” at URS 27 Station. This year, the topic will be “living with nature, going back to a green life,” inviting all citizens to join, create and change our own city landscape. The space opens on January 18th, and has scheduled its opening ceremony for February 8th.
To continue the planning of activities on The Grand Green at Huashan, Urban Regeneration Office is working with ARCHITERIOR to imagine the future green life using green plants. Seeking to achieve an unusual trend in urban life by starting with this small-scaled farming activity, the organizers hope to connect urban farms in the City and to effectively solve food safety problems. This exhibition uses the wooden templates seen in architectures to construct a temporary exhibitory space along with the pre-constructed cement platforms to create the image of an urban garden.
This exhibition will be called a “green factory.” The original edifice used to be a labor and production site. Nevertheless, this green factory is not just a place where they produce green plants; rather, it is a place where citizens join in the efforts and actions of green life. In the green factory, the space is open for residents to plant and learn about green, to find a way to coexist with nature, and to use green plants to see how they can change the image of certain spaces in our city.
During this exhibition, there will be lectures, tours and planting tips shared by experts every Saturday. We welcome those who are interested to come and learn about green vegetables and to create a different urban imagination in the future.
