There is an intriguing sight in Kaohsiung City—two towering brick chimneys located between the Love River and the intersection of Zhonghua Road and Jiu-Ru Third Road. This is the Zhongdu Tangrong Brickyard, the first brickyard in Kaohsiung. Coinciding with the 2022 Taiwan Design Expo in Kaohsiung, the theme series "Designing Taiwan" extends its reach here. The Kaohsiung Cultural Bureau has invited the local team "Design Together" to curate "Kaohsiung Yáo," transforming the Zhongdu Tangrong Brickyard and the Red Brick Office into an exhibition space. A smoke-fired kiln made from nearly 5,000 bricks recreates a fiery scene that delves into the vibrant memories of the city from a century ago, officially opening today.
