"The gate to a magical land." by Yi-Hsien Lee, ,

 

This was an abandoned sugar factory. The government wants to use the waste of sugar making to make papers. This whole project failed, and the site was buried to cover the mistake. Students can't find this information in any history textbooks.
One day, this land is open for public, and remake it to a park. The architects discovers the site while digging. After throughout research, they decided to change the original design. They want to preserve this whiteness of history. The wall is where the factory dumped the sugarcane bagasse. Going in the gate, people get to explore and discover history facts, and have the opportunity to touch the texture of history.

This is the first project using this method for historical preservation, also a huge step on public facility.

The gate to a magical land.
