A Ship Stranded On The Dune : The Time Museum

Tainan is Taiwan's cultural ancient capital, where the phenomena of "nostalgia" and "modernization" have caused the city to lose its "own present." I aimed to fill this gap in Tainan's development by using a cemetery disconnected from the city due to dunes. My design allows individuals to exist across multiple temporal scales, transforming one-third of this 100-hectare urban area into a "The Time Museum," where dunes and the hyperreal become spatial practices. By integrating artistry and play, it moves away from the hardened homogeneity and lack of authenticity in everyday experiences.
