Following the rhythm of the city, we step into Changhua.
Its breath flows through the stretching roads, the renewed buildings, and the comforts of daily life.
Its memory lingers in the textures of stone bricks, clay jars, and railroad ties.
A city is often seen as the sum of its buildings, but Changhua has always been more than architecture—it breathes with life.
Here, the resilience carried from the past merges with the comforts of modern life, shaping a history that has flourished for more than three centuries.
"Steps Toward the Future" is more than an exhibition—it is an act in motion.
Centered on transportation, infrastructure, and urban amenities, it illustrates how the city evolves to meet both the needs and the dreams of its people.
Using design as a medium, we blend the wisdom of history with the comforts of modern life and the aspirations of the future.
Visitors become collaborators and witnesses to the city's unfolding story.
The future of a city is not confined to blueprints.
It is shaped by the choices and actions we take today—
a journey of growing with the city and building its future together.

Curator
I am a cultural practitioner with works spanning the arts, commercial, and public spheres. In 2015, I founded ORIGIN Culture and Arts Development. Centered around the idea of Zen, I have since been promoting cross-cultural artistic practices in the UK, Japan, Taiwan, and China through exhibitions, music, and digital creations. Beginning in 2023, I have expanded into the educational field, using AI technology to cultivate interdisciplinary creativity. I firmly believe that all creative endeavors should be built upon the harmonious coexistence of humanity and nature.
