A similar Taiwan, A similar Chiayi as you look at the similarity of taiwan cities, Chiayi also gives a similar "impression"

at the end of the 20th century, Chiayi first of the three major farms, a "forest" beneath the mountain, City of Wood

but today in the 21st century as you look at the concrete forest covering chiayi, What Wooden city?

Chiayi still has more than 6000 "Old" wooden houses scattered around the city of chiayi.

But they are covered by the concrete city, hidden and decaying.

As time passes, when these buried Chiayi's unique features one day become extinct then Chiayi will degenerate into a modern city with no features.

Chiayi's charming wooden urban imagery will become nothing but an imaginary memory.

This is a battle between old wooden structures and time.

In order for Chiayi to shed its unimpressive 20th century modernism to present a 21st century city with a wooden memory

The "wooden capital imagery system", based on the forestry culture of "timber industry heritage" & "wood material circulation" located at CKS Park, which has a rich collective memory of past to present.

In the process of reforming the current chaotic collective memory, through daily activities unintentionally awaken the residents forestry and urban memory deep within their hearts.

In turn, it arouses the consciousness that "there are many wooden structures in the city" and promotes the protection and restoration of them.

So that this special wooden urban imagery can survive and integrate with the modern city of the 20th century becoming the 21st century Chiayi wood city image.
