Nine-storey modernist office building completed in 1966 on the corner of Baoqing Road and Taoyuan Street, designed by influential post-war architect Wang Da-hong (王大閎) for Asia Cement (亞洲水泥), a subsidiary of the Far Eastern Group (遠東集團). Often cited as the first curtain wall structure in Taiwan, it features prefabricated aluminum panel cladding, a pillarless arcade above the ground floor, and a distinctive curved southwest corner. It was registered as a Taipei municipal historic building in 2019.

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.
