An experimental mockup of the construction features of the doomed Taiwan Tower (台灣塔) megaproject built in Dazhaimen Special Zone (大宅門特區) in the early 2010s. It became emblematic of government waste and mismanagement not longer after it was built. Nowadays this odd assemblage of steel struts continues to confound passing motorists.

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.
