Since the post-war era, Changhua has been a pivotal manufacturing hub in Taiwan. It has witnessed the industry's transformation from Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to independent R&D, boasting profound craftsmanship while steadily prompting reflection on the relationship between industrial development, the environment, and the future.
Living a new afterlife, the historically significant Changhua Wude Hall is transformed into a contemporary training ground. Connecting circular design with technological advancements, the exhibition demonstrates various future-looking sustainable practices such as rethinking material selection, innovating processes, and establishing systemic thinking.
In a rapidly changing world, it is crucial and inevitable to learn how to live in it again. Through interdisciplinary coordination and collaboration, we aim to be flexible and impactful as we jointly explore endless possibilities for coexisting and thriving with the environment, and shape a more resilient future.
