Through more than 1700 years of administrative, cultural and social changes, Nantou has never stopped evolving in surging waves of time. With accelerated urbanization, its nine-street structure is still visible, but buildings have grown in thick layers, gradually shaping a rare specimen of urban diversity and density. The 2017 UABB introduced the first attempt of regeneration at micro levels. Since 2019, Nantou has welcomed the biggest change since the 1990s fast-building of urban villages: while preserving its texture, scale and historical spaces, the language of contemporary aesthetic, economy and lifestyle is being written into the alleyways. Cultural plurality, and dynamic integration of industry, population and space, are among the core strategies of the Nantou Preservation and Regeneration. As the opening exhibition interspersed in the Info Center, Nantou Odyssey aims to outline a perspective for urban roamers. Whatever your relationship with the city, we hope that you may be curious, explorative and reflective in your experience with the 3-km land, examining its incremental steps of renewal, and recognizing a collective identity beyond the tiles.
