In commemoration of the unrepeatable magic that was Taiwan Appreciation Week*, TypicalPlan is pleased to present a series of 6 commemorative postcards, showing 12 uniquely Taiwanese buildings. Pictured in glorious yet subtle full colour offset print on 300 gsm thick textured card, they remind us of what can be achieved when a can-do spirit is combined with a healthy disregard for convention and mainstream aesthetics (and yes, this does apply to Taiwanese roadside architecture as much as to TypicalPlan’s deconstruction of the conventional canon of architectural photography).
(*) In July 2020, days after the introduction of the National Security Law in Hong Kong, TypicalPlan started posting photos of Taiwan on its Instagram account. The photos, taken during a cycling trip in the country in 2018, paid homage to a country that was a beacon of good governance and democracy during a challenging year for people in Hong Kong and worldwide. What started as just a week of themed postings turned into 100 (not quite consecutive) days of photos highlighting the quirky character of the buildings and infrastructure found in the island state.
These photos were taken mainly on the east coast of Taiwan (in the townships of Changbin, Fengbin, Ji’an and Hualien City). Each postcard includes precise geographic location data in longitude and latitude to the buildings pictured, putting a visit to these remarkable and not so remarkable structures within reach of the lucky buyer.
Proceeds of these postcards will go towards financing the luxury lifestyle TypicalPlan’s founder is accustomed to and -to a lesser extent- to supporting TypicalPlan’s efforts in uncovering and documenting the underexposed cityscapes and architectures of Hong Kong and beyond.
