Resumen de Urban Phenomenon: Guerilla Architecture in Taipei
Roan Ching-Yueh is a prolific author, architect and curator, and a professor in the Department of Art and Design at Yuan-Ze University in Taiwan. Here he describes two projects that he curated in and around Taipei, which explore the fast-changing nature of the city and the fluidity of the urban context through the creation of installations that extend and heighten it. ‘7-Eleven as a City’ was set up as a workshop and exhibition in 2007 and the ‘Illegal Architecture’ show of 2012 invited architects Wang Shu and Hsieh Ying-chun to specially create ‘guerilla’ structures around the theme.
