Wooden Wonders: MVRDV's wooden pavilion and exhibition celebrates the past, present, and future of timber craft in Chiayi— For the 321st anniversary celebrations of the founding of Chiayi City in Taiwan, MVRDV has completed a temporary timber pavilion housing an exhibition on manufacture, craft, and construction with wood. Located across from Chiayi's city hall, the Wooden Wonders pavilion encloses a square courtyard, with the shape of its perimeter structure informed by deep research into the city's timber construction heritage. The project will be on display throughout Chiayi's anniversary celebrations, from December 12–28, providing a space for residents to gather, learn about the city's heritage and discuss the city's "timber future".
