Curator: Xiao Shuwen / collaborative curatorial: Jane BoxunThe Testimony of Food: Ideas and FoodWhen people create food, they give it a social function. In this world founded on culture, food is culture, and culture is the sum of customs, thoughts, ethical teachings, rituals and human activities. "The Testimony of Food" seeks to practice the language, thought and symbols of food, to create and infer a unique drama from it. It explores food from a variety of levels using form, text and other tools. Food is given a role and made to perform so audiences have something to reect on.
Standing on such a foundation of ideas, this exhibition explores the technical level of food, its form and its aesthetic expression. It ruminates on mankind's most fundamental desires and embarks on the ultimate pursuit of the cerebral and visceral, the rational and irrational in human life.Date: Through May 3Location: 1F, Taipei Fine Arts Museum

2015 4 26 3Coral Stone Mountain Chen Shun-chu RetrospectiveWhen martial law ended in Taiwan, several mid-career artists rose to prominence. Representative of this group is Chen Shun-chu, whose use of family photos with strong personal meaning as an artistic medium paved the way for popular use of mixed media photographic art in the 1990s. This exhibition, which derives its name from coral stone, a distinctive geological feature of Penghu, reects the artist's complex
attachment to his hometown. Centuries ago settlers of Penghu used their knowledge of local materials to gather light, porous coral stone from the oceans to build walls and homes that could withstand the powerful monsoon winds that frequently lash the archipelago. These structures still stand today and protect descendants of those rst
settlers from Penghu's cold winds and burning sun. Built in irregular mounds, their ups and downs mirror Chen's family life in his hometown, and their pores are reminiscent of the interconnectedness of memories.Date: Through April 26, 2015Location: 3F, Taipei Fine Arts Museum

Kusama Yayoi A Dream I DreamedToward the end of the 1950s, Japanese artist Kusama Yayoi was recognized throughout New York art circles for her ideas and creations in the areas of surrealism, abstract expressionism, minimalism, pop art and performance art. Today she continues to hold large-scale exhibitions featuring her trademark polka dots at major modern art museums in the west. The positive response these exhibitions gain caught the attention of fashion brand Louis Vuitton, which undertook a joint collaboration that further popularized Kusama in the world of fashion. This current Asian exhibition tour began in 2013. After showing in Seoul and Shanghai, in 2015 it arrived in Taiwan where it opened at the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts. The exhibition oers
a comprehensive, broad look at Kusama's many works and classic styles over the past six decades while also showcasing her latest works. Close to 120 paintings, statues, installations and video images are shown, making this an unprecedented display of Kusama's art in Taiwan.Date: Through May 17, 2015Location: Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts

The Wondrous All: Leading Edge of Eastern ThoughtThe heritage of eastern art and its many changes are longstanding and well established with a wide range of styles and methods, from traditional to contemporary. How to use past knowledge to recreate is a constant struggle for many artists today.This latest exhibition invited nine well-known artists from Taiwan and China, including Zhan Wang, Jun T. Lai and Cai Zhisong, each of whom probes the depths of ideology, philosophy, literature, psychology and sociology. The visual language of each work is rich in eastern thought. Whether through use of calligraphy, ink painting, oil painting or sculpture, each work recalls history to imbue contemporary art with fresh vitality. Symbolic connotations of these sensitive works arise from traditional cultural resources that are familiar and friendly. They not only continue the essence of tradition, but also open barriers between the present and past.Date: Through May 3, 2015Location: 3F, Taipei Fine Arts Museum

GUCCI 2015-16 F/W MEN'S COLLECTION
For the 2015-16 men's autumn and winter collection, Gucci must go beyond clothing and composition to transmit an attitude. The Gucci man must escape the framework of time and begin a new journey. As Gucci itself noted: "From a ourish of a chion bow to mink-lined men's slippers to smatterings of signet
rings, a dreamy ambiguity pulsates throughout." Elements of women's wear were mixed in, blurring traditional gender lines and forming a hazy aesthetic.

SWAROVSKI FOR MEN
In its 2015 spring and summer men's collection, Swarovski focuses on modern, concise design, from its rose gold PVD metal and black calfskin leather Cross necklace and bracelet to the combination frosted and polished stainless steel Clarity jewelry. There are Swarovski's highly popular watches, with faceted ceramic elements, and a range of cu links varied in color as
they are in shape. For men who desire the same "bling bling" as the women around them but do not want to cross over into the realm of the ostentatious, Swarovski is an excellent choice.

Just a few seasons into his position as executive creative director at Coach, Stuart Vevers continues to lead the brand in entirely new directions. In spring 2015, Vevers again invited master photographer Steven Meisel to produce Coach's latest advertisements. In his second stint working for coach, Meisel exquisitely comments on Coach's role in American style.
THE NEW LOEWEJ.W Anderson LoeweAnderson look
Cast aside were the conservative, heavy old impressions of Loewe. In their place Anderson substituted leather light as air and simple decorations. His creativity brought new combinations to leather and fabric. Some looks were entirely experimental, yet they always reserved the heightened level of style necessary for a classic brand.The show also included a number of notable accessories that had curved, tied, woven and even ripped eects. Loewe, which has always taken pride in its
leather production techniques, was able to present a more popular, modern image. Accessories have always been the most protable segment for luxury brands.

DUNHILL BY JOHN RAY
Ever since Dunhill enlisted John Ray as its creative director, the British brand synonymous with men's formalwear began a transformation. Nowhere was this more apparent than the style change that took place. The market reacted positivity to the 2014 autumn and winter collection, the rst with Ray at the helm. His second collection, for
spring and summer 2015, showed us even more of what is possible at the Dunhill. Taking as its focal point the notion of "escape," Ray hopes to arouse the natural, unrestrained style inherent to all men.

To give pleasant surprise to travellers, as well as some warmth for those travelling alone, the "2gether LOVE 2015 Ever Rich ART FEST" is being held in Taoyuan International Airport, showcasing artists from three different fields Songsongmeow by Second, Akibo Lee, and Lin Chien-Jung.

AKIBO
Public installation artist Akibo Lee always misses his children, and derives this emotion into his robots. Just like those who travel to a foreign land alone, whether working or studying, or just going on a short trip, people will still get a bit nervous coming home. Tours are the medium where travellers produce memories; they may take photos or keep diaries to accumulate and chronicle the trip bit by bit. Later in life, when they revisit this experience through photos or diaries, they will feel like it was just yesterday, and emotions will still ow
out of the photos and pages.

AKIAKIS
E: When did you start making robots? Does this creative theme have something to
do with you son?
It was about ten years ago, my children were in Vancouver and I missed them, so I created the first set of robots AKIAKIS. It was for them. It was a story of three robots going diving and on an adventure. It was then that I began my creative journey of robots. All the robots I created are for dierent purposes; some are in amusement parks, some travel together with
passengers on trains, and some robots are in school studying and playing sports with children.
E
A
E: What is the main difference between the robots and your other creative works
other than them being different artistic expressions?
A: personication. Through the character, the story behind can be conveyed.
And because of personification, the robots are more approachable, and easier to interact with, so that the viewers can quickly be drawn into the world of my story, or even develop ones of their own.
E
A
E: People usually nd robots icy and cold, but your robots are rather humorous and
interesting. What do you think is the reason for their unique characteristics?
A: I am an artist, not a scientist, so it is warmth that made them dierent.
E
A
E: Out of so many robots, which one is your favorite?
A: As I said, every robot has its own story, and they are all my favorites.
E2GATHER LOVE
A .....
E: Your work for this exhibition, 2GETHER LOVE, you said it is a trip of a robot
family. Where do you want to take them?
A: I think...the signicance of family trip is not about the destination, but the
point that people can get together, and this is my purpose for this exhibition. Most of my robots are scattered around in different places, and it is a rare opportunity for them to get together at an exhibition space with such signicance; it is a where people from around the world can see and meet
my robots.
E
A
E: What is your creative inspiration?
A: My works come from my love for my children.
E
A
E: Do you have the look of your next robot in your head?
A: I still have one hundred ideas for robots in my head, waiting for me to create and realize them.

2GATHER LOVE
With no expressions, "Light Bulb Man" consisting of a large round head and thin body is public artist Lin Chien-Jung's most iconic and well-known work. It always hides in the corners of a building or a public space, glowing dimly. It is not a large work, but it is very eye-catching. This year, Ever Rich and Taoyuan International Airport use "Love" and "Embrace" as the theme for the Art Fest "2GETHER LOVE", and invite Lin to place a number of cute "Light Bulb Man" in the airport, hoping the dim lights of the works can bring some comfort and warmth to the travellers.

E
L
E: Why did you create the Light Bulb Man in the rst place?
L: It was just a stroke of genius; maybe it is my alter ego.
E
L
E: Is it a man or is it a lady? What's its personality? Can you describe it briey?
L: Light Bulb Man is genderless. It is a private person, and likes to daydream and doze o. Even though it is alone, it is not lonely.
E HELLO KITTY
L
E: I think it is just like Hello Kitty; it transcends stereotypes and boundaries, and it
all depends on how we look at it?
L: Yes, it is what you think it is. People's dierent perspectives will shape its
character and give it dierent personalities.
E
L
E: In addition to designing and making its external look, you are also responsible for
the designing and construction of the circuits inside?
L: In the creative process, I try to find different possibilities, expressions, and technologies; but to realize concretely the images I have in mind, I need more than just my ideas, inspirations, and my own devotion. I need help and assistance from many people to turn my ideas into physical works.
E
L
E: In addition to being cute and interesting, sometimes I nd Light Bulb Man a bit
lonely. How would you like us to see it?
L: You are bright. It is just chicken and likes to keep things to itself.
E

E: Have you heard interesting stories about Light Bulb Man from people?
L: My works are like another me. I am not too comfortable listening to how people think about me.

"The world is a bit blue and a bit humorous; so look at it from another angle!" This is taken from the brief introduction on the Facebook fan page of illustrator SECOND, the author of Songsongmeow. The white "Songsongmeow" with only on eyebrow and always has its cellphone around was created one evening by SECOND, who was born in 1983. Since then, it has become one of the world's most famous cats. Not only has it amassed over 100 thousand likes on Facebook, the countless illustration exhibitions and merchandise design have made the laid-back Songsongmeow a very, very busy cat. It has even gone international with its popularity, and made appearances in Japan, US, Shanghai, the Netherlands, and Hong Kong. In 2015, Ever Rich and Taoyuan International Airport invite Songsongmeow to showcase the newest image installations, which can be seen behind the glasses on both sides of the airport's departure hall. Next time, when you and your friends and family pass by with your luggage, do not forget to take a picture with Songsongmeow to capture the joy of travel!

E
S
E: When did you start illustrating?
S: I fell in love with illustration when I was in elementary school. It was not until after graduate school that I decided it would be my future job.
E
S
E: Is Songsongmeow male or female? How old is it?
S: Songsongmeow is a boy, and he is a bit over one year old. (It is a boy! Not male. Smile)
E
S
E: I nd cats weird and hard to understand. Is Songsongmeow also like this?
S: Songsongmeow was born one night when it climbed out of my blanket and grabbed my cellphone. This is rather unusual (smile). Songsongmeow will also move around under the blanket to other peoples rooms to play with their cellphones or take away some of their troubles from their phones. Because he has stolen too many troubles and worries, one of his eyebrows wrinkled up. Songsongmeow is hard to understand, but he is very sweet and understanding.
E
S
E: It seems that Songsongmeow has a great life, and nothing can upset him?
S: He is rarely unhappy, but he gets nervous when the cellphone signal is weak.
E
S
E: Did you expect Songsongmeow would make so many great things happen in your life?
S:Because of Songsongmeow, I went to Tokyo Design Week last year for a painting exhibition. Then I went to the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas, and seminars at Eslite in Hong Kong. These are all unexpected journeys and interesting idylls. So I often feel grateful for Songsongmeow, and think that I should work harder drawing Songsongmeow.
E
S
E: So the things he says and the thoughts he has are also your words and thoughts?
S: Yes. But more often I feel these are the comforting words from someone who observes me closely by my side from a second angle. Some people often tell me that Songsongmeow seems to speak their feeling when they struggle to nd a proper word to describe the feeling.
E2GATHER LOVE
S
E: What message do you want Songsongmeow to convey to the travellers at 2GETHER LOVE?S: The last hug I remember the best was back in graduate school when I was chosen to represent my university to participate in an anime workshop in France. The night before I had dinner with my professor, Ms. Chu Cha-Ray. After the dinner, when I was about to get in the car and leave, Professor Chu and my classmates stopped me, and each one of them gave me a big hug. I felt the warmth right away. Maybe Asian people are shier, and often times we need distance to remind us the important bonds in life. With the works this time, I hope to remind people that a hug is a natural and warm thing.
E
S
E: What is your creative inspiration?
S: Inspiration often come and go very quickly. For example: when you are walking on the street, riding scooter, or taking a shower, you will suddenly think of some images or sentences you want to express. To prevent myself from forgetting these ideas, I will write them down in a notebook, or use the memo app in my phone.
E
S
E: Who is your most admired illustrator?
S: Yoshitomo Nara .
E
S
E: So stationaries, daily products, Taipei Arena and Kaohsiung's KRT, what is
Songsongmeow's next big project?
S: People are wild about the Songsongmeow's Words train in KRT! I always think reading with your ngers being able to touch the paper is an
important thing. So my next big plan is to publish the rst illustrated book of
Songsongmeow!

With fresh blood come fresh ideas! Since taking over as creative director at Loewe, Irish designer JW Anderson has initiated change. From the new logo to transformation of the classic Amazona and Flamenco bags along with brilliant new accessory lines, Anderson ushered in a freshness typically reserved for new brands. This series of bags, with a pattern reminiscent of wood, quickly sold out after appearing in Paris and Tokyo. Fast sales have again boosted Anderson's vision.

The popularity of Michael Kors in US, European and Asian markets can be attributed to many factors. Besides the charisma of the brand's namesake, there is the commitment to rapid expansion of accessory lines, none of which better represent the rise of Michael Kors over the past few seasons than the classically designed Selma satchel. The sleek silhouette is suited to formal settings when paired with a suit while the side aps add a casual, leisurely appearance that make it appropriate as an about-
town bag. Carry it over your arm, shoulder or back, and enjoy exibility provided by the
large interior zip pocket and multi-layered open inside pockets. An additional key hook
enhances eciency for the busy woman.

Under the guidance of Christopher Bailey, Burberry continues to expand and grow. As excellent reviews pour in for its fashion lines, over the past few years achievements in accessories have been even more obvious. From early on, with a focus placed on classic checked patterns, to the past few seasons, when the color and mold of the brand's bags have taken on a more modern appearance, this more than century-old iconic
British luxury brand continues to tower over competitors.

Famed for its luxurious gemstones and watches, Italian luxury goods maker Bvlgari crossed over into handbags several seasons ago. Its mastery, apparent from the first collection, led to an overwhelming response. Bvlgari specialty shops around the world reported exceedingly long waiting lists. The bestselling line, Serpenti, remains a hot commodity and will further evolve in spring and summer 2015. Combining ideal proportions with a silver chain strap, the bag features a green and white enamel silver inlay Serpentine closure and violet jade eyes. A small mirror is included inside. This is sure to be included on this year's list of It Bags.

For spring/summer 2015, new bag shapes in the collection specifically reference horses' saddles through a contemporary exploration of construction and functionality. For example, the Tod's Cape Bag has curves and a new shape that evoke saddlery; its sides have organic geometry, and with a simple fold, it closes in on itself. Colours range from jade green, royal blue, cream to more summer brights tones.

I believe that every brand has a keyword, and for Gucci, that word is "luxury". Besides its leading men's and women's fashion lines, Gucci's classic collection of handbags have kept it at the forefront of the fashion industry. This spring's Bamboo Daily handbag collection marries clean design at its base with supple leather. Bamboo accents, which serve as the primary decorative feature, provide the bag's DNA. From a perspective of design and functionality, this bag is unrivalled. Whether carried by hand or over the shoulder, at night or day, the bag that urban women have searched for has arrived.

For this spring and summer, Maier left his comfort zone to boldly display new cracking and panel techniques that give an all-new appearance
to his accessory lines. By marrying change and continuity, Maier serves as an ideal brand ambassador.

Scientists have pointed out that human eyes can best recognize y e l l o w, g r e e n , a n d o r a n g e underwater. ORIS AQUIS orange midsize div ing watch aims for high performances; it reveals the practical genes of the brand. The orange color is even more eye catching when the watch is worn out of the water in daily life.
BUAME & MERCIER CAPELAND
Also a sports watch, Buame & Mercier Capeland is l ike a true educated gentleman; although it has all the chronographic functions, it maintains an elegant balance. The ashy red ring on the dial, however,
reminds us the true essence of a sports watch.

A leading fashion brand must have keen fashion sense. Gucci's extra-large Latin Grammy Watch captures visual balance with its gold case. The dial features both hands and digits, enhancing the charm of this sleek timepiece.
HYPERCHROME
Not many brands are as determined as RADO, devoting to own unique characteristics and always trying to outdo itself. The HyperChrome automatic chronograph features a relatively low-profile black color, but it is a tremendously durable timepiece; no wonder many people use the watch as wedding watches to symbolize their everlasting love.

MOBILE ART
When spring festival arrives, many people use their vacation time to travel overseas. In order to make airport down time a part of this joyful experience, during this year's spring festival period Ever Rich arranged Aviation Theater performances. Feng Dance Theater was responsible for composing the plays, which consisted of a combination of music, dance, literature and other artistic elements. The shows made it feel as if a full-sized theater were transported into the airport. The deputy general manager of Ever Rich, Pan Tsuei-yi, said: "Aviation Theater" has earned extensive praise and support from domestic and foreign travelers since its launch. During the peak New Year's travel period, we invited well-known performers to join our shows. Travelers who arrive at the airport early will be able to see these performers up-close while enjoying the world's first Aviation Theater!
1.
A DOSE OF HAPPINESS DURING SPRING FESTIVAL TRAVELS
Aviation Theater, a joint collaboration between Ever Rich and theatrical producer Hsieh Nian-hua, involved contributions from a wide range of talented individuals and companies, including former Cloud Gate lead dancer Wu I-Fang and famed Taiwanese composer Cincin Lee along with HIM International Music and Eelin Modeling Agency. Top students from several universities served as actors, singers, dancers and musicians. Aviation Theater is the first theater of its kind in the world. Since the end of last year it has performed in Terminals 1 and 2 of Taoyuan International Airport, winning widespread acclaim and positive responses from travelers. Some people preparing to travel abroad have even called in advance to inquire about show times, so they can catch a performance prior to departure.While this type of mobile art is a popular trend, Ever Rich was the first to incorporate it into an airport terminal, again demonstrating its commitment to travelers.

KINMEN

With its unique geographical features, not only is Kinmen a popular destination among tourists fond of nature, it is also the paradise many species of birds "revisit" regularly. The most representative of these birds would be great black cormorant. Weighed as much as 2 kg, this seabird has strong and bold bill. Its distinctive feature is that their feet have webbing between all four toes, which is not found in any other species. Every winter, especially in January, thousands of great black cormorants will migrate to Kinmen from the mainland or Siberia to spend the cold months.Ci (Compassion) Dike is the best place to watch great black cormorants. Flocks of great black cormorants fly out to fish in the Kinmen-Xiamen waters, and return to their habitats in late afternoon. Also, the mini islet in Tai Lake is another place to spot great black cormorants. With dense woods and absence of human activities, the islet welcomes a large number of great black cormorants every winter. Kinmen's rare birds are denitely world-class scenery.

( ) ( ) ( ) ( )Located in the southwest of Kinmen Island, Shueitou Village is a seashore village with building groups with western style or southern Fujian style, among which the "Huang Family Youtang Garden" with the style of Chinese classic gardens and the "Deyue Building" with the western style are the most representative. The "Huang Family Youtang Garden" was established in the thirty-rst year of
Kanghsi in the Ching Dynasty. As it has been used as a private school and newspaper office, it is full of academic avor. The "Deyue Building" was
set up in the year of 1931 for antitheft by Huang Hui-huang, a wealthy Chinese merchant living in Indonesia. It has become the most attractive scenic spot of the village.

Located at Wujiang River estuary in Nanmen District, Jincheng Town, Kinmen, Jiangong Islet is 500 square meters in area. Many believe that, in late Qing dynasty, the local people left late stage leprosy patients on their own on the islet, and that is why the islet is also known as the Leprosy Islet, or Taigu Islet (literally the islet where the eliminated ones are left alone). Back then people did not dare to step onto the islet. In 1949, ROC Armed Forces decided to build the islet into a military stronghold. Upon approval by the Ministry of the Interior, the islet was renamed to Jiangong Islet in 1960. On October 20, 1997, Kinmen Defense Command downsized the forces in compliance with the "ROC Armed Forces Rening Program", and withdrew the troops from the islet. The islet was
abandoned and facilities left decaying; however; nonetheless, due to decreased human activities, it became a paradise for birds. In 2002, Kinmen County Government renovated the islet in aim to facilitate tourism development.Standing on the islet and looking at Wujiang River estuary, we can see an intertidal wetland ecosystem formed by kandelia and black mangrove. The wetland nurtures a rich life system, including fish, shrimps, shellfish, horseshoe crabs, crabs, and many uncommon organisms we have not seen before. Water birds glide in the air above the wetland, waiting for the perfect opportunity to hunt. These are the treasures of Kinmen. The coastal park nearby is always bright in the evening, and it is a popular attraction among local citizens. Walking forward, the Koxinga Shrine is on the right hand side, which was built to celebrate Zheng Chenggong, the hero who fought against Qing in late Ming dynasty. The shrine was built in 1968, and is a wonderful site where people can relax and pay respect to the great historical gure. The observatory deck in front of
Koxinga Shrine is where one can see Jiangong Islet in its entity and look afar to Lesser Kinmen. This is a great destination where one gets to see the dierent charms of Kinmen.

The Zhaishan tunnel, located southeast of Gugang Lake, is an underground tunnel that leads directly to the ocean from the inner land. The excavation of the tunne l was launched in 1961 and completed. The tunnel serves mainly to preserve the combat capability of military boats.The main body of the tunnel was excavated through the bedrock of granitic gneiss and divided into a walkway and a waterway. The walkway measures approximately 101 m in length, 6 m in width and 3.5 in height, containing seven camp houses. The waterway is distinguished with A-shaped entrance and exit, each equipped with a rolling-machine controlled water-gate. It measures approximately 357m in length, 11.5 m in width and 8 m in height, which can accommodate 42 military boats at anchor.

Visit Kinmen and buy knives, it is probably the most representative souvenir of Kinmen in most people's memory. On August 23, 1958, the Communist army began bombing Kinmen, launching 57 thousand shells within two hours. Once a weapon of war, artillery has become the raw material of Kinmen's most famous steel knives. One shell can be made into forty steel knives. A visit to Maestro Wu, you can still see the old maestro sharpening the knives in the factory full of shells.

60The fifty-meter long street truthfully represents the old Kinmen back in 1971. This is the lming location of Paradise in Serve, the
movie Chen Jian-Bin starred in and won a Golden Horse Award for. The production team carefully researched and reconstructed the street from over ve decades ago. From baths, snooker club, First
Army Postal Oce, teahouse, barbershop, movie theater, to anti-
communism slogans written on the walls, walking into Yang Zhai Old Street is like going into a tunnel through time to the 1960s, and everything is old but new at the same time. Spend some time here and take some pictures for old time's sake.

The "Shanhou Village" consists of the Upper Fort, Middle Fort and Lower Fort. The famous "Kinmen Folk Culture Village" refers to the Middle Fort built in 1900 during the Qing Dynasty. This was the rst village in Kinmen to be turned into a tourist destination. The sixteen symmetrical two-courtyard historic
houses, an ancestral shrine and a school academy are known collectively as the "Eighteen Houses of Middle Fort at Shanhou". All of these were built by Wang Kuo-Chen and Wang Ching-Hsiang after they became rich by trading with Japan. The overall layout was developed by famous Jiangxi architects and the great attention to detail can be seen in each house's location, purpose, interior spaces, courtyards and lofts. Even the carved beams and themed clay sculptures were not left to chance. The entire project took 25 years to complete.All eighteen historic houses were built on the hillside facing the sea in three orderly rows. Together, they represented a highly detailed and intact example of Southern Fujian architecture. Visiting tourists particularly enjoy standing in the alleys to take photos of the saddleback roofs, gabled walls, swallowtails and blue sky. This work of art by six master craftsmen brought from Tangshan is a must-see destination for all visitors to Kinmen.

Overseas Cultural Museum continues the education on the development of Jinmen people's overseas settlement introduced by Jinshuei Elementary School. In return, the people's migration has brought signicant
cultural inuences back to Jinmen. The museum reects the process and result of the fusion of Southeast Asia
colonial culture and Min-nan culture, and concretely presents the changes in material culture and values. Early on in Jinmen, many locals migrated overseas and introduced back to Jinmen foreign cultures. From food, clothes, architecture, religion, to lifestyle, Jinmen was gradually inuenced by Southeast Asian colonies, and
began to showcase a new hybrid look. After years of hardworking, many of these people accumulated great wealth and returned to hometown Jinmen. They built large mansions to show what they had achieved in life. These houses were important symbols of their glorious homecoming. Therefore, many large "fusion" houses with luxurious decorations were built. These houses stand out even more in Kinmen's traditional villages.Like other Western-style houses, Chen Jing-Lan's old residence also features ve foot way (corridor),
Western-style gables, and decorative details that fuse both Western and Oriental styles. The house also has a marvelous ocean view. It reects the shared values and collective consciousness of the unique
society in a specic time period where men went abroad and women stayed after to take care of the
family, which ultimately gave rise to a new architectural style in Fujian and Guangdong areas.

1947 Central Group Tos Chirathivat Rinascente Illum 37 Central Embassy 8Park Hyatt Bangkok Zaha HadidEven when the economy suffers due to political upheaval, some large Thai companies still expand at a rapid pace. Among the leading enterprises, Central Group founded in 1947 may be one company that enjoys the most success. Currently led by Tos Chirathivat, the family business mainly focuses on retailing and real estate. In addition to acquisitions of shopping malls owned by Rinascente, storied Italian department store retailer, and Illum, Danish department store, the Central Group is also speeding up the revamping process of its shopping centers. One of the shopping centers, the 37-storey Central Embassy located at the Bangkok's golden area, opened to the public in this past May. The newly renovated shopping center features an 8-oor "six-star" mega shopping mall and Thailand's very
rst Park Hyatt Bangkok, which will open soon. The main faade is as smooth and futuristic as any Zaha Hadid's architectures, and
does not just show us a shopping center; instead, the design reveals its desire in becoming Bangkok's most outstanding and unique new landmark, and this storied Thai retailer's ambition in the global retailing market.

logo Smith Ian KittichaiChef Peter Pitakwong Chanond PuranandaSMITHWith its uniquely designed logo, Smith was originally an old metal sheet factory with a history of a few decades. Three chefs, Ian Kittichai, Peter Pitakwong, and Chanond Purananda, have joined forces and renovated this old plant into a restaurant; using innovative ideas, they have given the space a modern look but preserved many of the old blacksmith style and tools. Smith specializes in modern European cuisine, serving delicious dishes the chefs invented, such as calf's tongue with Mexican spice, lightly smoked salmon with lime-crme fraiche froth, mushrooms and summer corn, and jellied pig's head. Also, there is a wide range of signature Thai cocktails. What a great joy in life to enjoy authentic dishes in a space full of industrial avor.
