Modernist council chamber for Taitung County designed by Lu Ayu (呂阿玉), completed in 1954 and expanded in 1963. Its perforated panel façade is characteristic of 1950s institutional architecture in Taitung. The council relocated in 1998 and the building was formally decommissioned in 2007. It has since been recognized for its heritage value but restoration plans have not begun as of the early 2020s.

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.
