Exhibition to Highlight History of Huashan’s Grand Green

Exhibition to Highlight History of Huashan’s Grand GreenFollowing the successful conclusion of the “Meadow Daydream POP-UP” showcase at URS 27 on December 9, the facility will host the “1937-2017 Huashan Grand Green Memories” exhibition through December 26.

 

The Urban Regeneration Office (URO) joined hands with Taipei Village to organize the exhibition telling the story of the green pasture, hoping to bring the public closer to the outdoor area inside Huashan 1914 Creative Park.

 

Visitors will find information on the site, from its birth as a train cargo station during the Japanese Colonial Period to its redeployment as Huashan Train Station during the Post-war period. It witnessed the transition of Taiwan’s railway from surface to underground, as shown by photos of empty platforms.

 

The site officially became a part of the city government’s URS (Urban Renewal Station) effort in 2010, changing its name to URS27 due to its address (No. 27, Linsen N. Road). This is the official beginning where the open grassland located amidst the concrete jungle became a venue for numerous creative and experimental activities and showcases.

 

During the exhibition period, the Grand Green is open to public access all day long, inviting everyone to come and co-create the URS daydream that belongs to all people.
