Memories under 76 Meters

Over the past 30 years, the fragile nature of this land has allowed it to be preserved as a tranquil haven, offering a getaway for urban dwellers seeking respite, yet few visitors are aware of its story. Located atop a landfill, the Houtou Mountain Environmental Park conceals a towering 76-meter heap of discarded waste, and as time passes, its history slowly fades into obscurity. A library with an environmental theme has risen from this site, serving as a nexus between spaces and a rebirth of discarded materials. It reestablishes the connection with the land, enabling people to uncover the truth about the buried memories of Taoyuan, hidden beneath the surface.
