Rare Book Library Exhibition| Koolhaas × TPAC

Situated next to the Shilin Night Market, the Taipei Performing Arts Center (TPAC) was completed and inaugurated in August 2022. It marks the first project in Taiwan by the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA). OMA chose to collaborate with a local Taiwanese architectural publication, releasing the 16th issue of the "a+tec" quarterly magazine in March 2023, which became the world's first book dedicated to this project. The Bookstore of Wensin Art Place curates a collection that includes a series of classic works about OMA and its founder, Rem Koolhaas (1944-). In contrast to traditional architectural exhibitions, this book presentation celebrates the birth of the Taipei Performing Arts Center and delves deeply into the analysis of this groundbreaking building, which the public has nicknamed "Century Egg & Tofu."
