Dongguang Junior High School Jixian Hall (東光國中集賢樓) - Spectral Codex

A two-storey reinforced concrete school building completed in 1975, built from standardized plans issued during the rollout of Taiwan’s Nine-Year Compulsory Education policy. Its folded-plate roof and washed pebble dash exterior are characteristic of the era; the building is one of the few remaining examples of this standard plan variant, which features a column-free, open-plan second floor originally used as a laboratory.

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.
