Taiwan’s first contemporary art museum, opened in Zhongshan, Taipei, in August 1983. It occupies the former grounds of the United States Taiwan Defense Command, and was designed by architect Kao Er-Pan as a local interpretation of Metabolism, a Japanese architectural movement that emerged in the 1960s.

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.
