Designed by Francine Houben of the Dutch firm Mecanoo, this performing arts center in Fengshan takes its common name, Weiwuying (衛武營), from the army training camp the military decommissioned on this site in 1979. Drawing on the banyan trees of the former base, a single rippling roof covers an opera house, a concert hall, a playhouse, a recital hall, and an open plaza. It opened in 2018 on the edge of Weiwuying Metropolitan Park (衛武營都會公園) under the National Performing Arts Center (國家表演藝術中心).

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
