Spaces for History, Creativity,
and Cultural Expression
Walking through the streets of Taipei, one will
find historic houses, courtyards, and shophouses
scattered throughout the city. With the recent
upsurge in interest in revitalizing old buildings, many
of these structures that are supported by grassroots
efforts, have been restored and repurposed as
cultural and artistic spaces. Examples such as Rongjin
Gorgeous Time (榕 錦 時 光 生 活 園 區) and Brick Yard
33 1/3 (美 軍 俱 樂 部 ) are remarkable results of old
building revitalization efforts.
