Zuckerfabrik Ciaotou

Die Zuckerfabrik Ciaotou (chinesisch 橋頭糖廠, Pinyin Qiáotóu Tángchǎng) umfasst das Gelände einer stillgelegten Zuckerfabrik im Bezirk Ciaotou der taiwanischen Stadt Kaohsiung, auf dem sich heute ein Museum und andere Freizeiteinrichtungen befinden. Geschichte Die Zuckerfabrik in Ciaotou wurde zur Zeit der japanischen Herrschaft über Taiwan im Jahr 1901 eröffnet und in den darauffolgenden Jahrzehnten kontinuierlich ausgebaut. Hintergrund war das Bestreben der Japaner, die Kultivierung von Zuckerrohr in Taiwan zu industrialisieren. Die Fabrik in Ciaotou war die erste moderne Zuckerraffinerie Taiwans. Im Pazifikkrieg wurden die Fabrikanlagen durch amerikanische Luftangriffe beschädigt. In dieser Zeit diente das Gelände der Zuckerfabrik auch als Kaserne für die japanische Armee. Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges und dem Abzug der Japaner wurden sämtliche japanischen Zuckerraffinerien in der staatlichen Taiwan Sugar Company zusammengefasst. Im Jahr 1966 wurde die Zuckerraffinerie im Kaohsiunger Stadtteil Xiaogang der Fabrik in Ciaotou angeschlossen. Durch das Sinken des internationalen Zuckerpreises begann in den 1970er Jahren ein Abschwung, der letztlich zur vollständigen Einstellung der Zuckerproduktion in Ciaotou im Juni 1999 führte. Aufgrund der geschichtlichen Bedeutung des Geländes erklärte die Regierung des Landkreises Kaohsiung die Zuckerfabrik im Jahr 2002 zu einem historischen Denkmal. Das Gelände wurde zu einer öffentlich zugänglichen Parkanlage, das im Jahr 2006 den Status eines Freilichtmuseums erhielt. Gebäude und Einrichtungen Neben den Fabrikhallen, die der Zuckerproduktion dienten, befinden sich auf dem Gelände auch ehemalige Wohnheime der Arbeiter und Angestellten sowie das frühere Verwaltungsgebäude, in dem heute Ausstellungen zur Geschichte des Geländes stattfinden. Während die Holzbauten aus der Gründungszeit fast völlig verschwunden sind, kann man auch heute noch einige aus Ziegeln gebaute Häuser und die späteren Betongebäude besichtigen. Eine besondere Attraktion stellt die Eisenbahn entlang der ursprünglich dem Transport von Zuckerrohr und Zucker dienenden Gleise dar, die nun für den Tourismus geöffnet sind. Verkehr Das Gelände ist durch eine Station der Kaohsiunger U-Bahn an das öffentliche Verkehrsnetz angeschlossen. Weblinks Vorstellung des Geländes auf der Website der Taiwan Sugar Company

The Kaohsiung Music Center (KMC; Chinese: 高雄流行音樂中心; pinyin: Gāoxióng Liúxíng Yīnyuè Zhōngxīn) is a music hall in Yancheng District and Lingya District in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. History In 2009, the Executive Yuan recognized the need to establish a music center in Kaohsiung. The Council for Cultural Affairs then commissioned Kaohsiung City Government to plan, design, and construct the center. The center was officially opened on 31 October 2021 in a ceremony attended by President Tsai Ing-wen and Culture Minister Lee Yung-te. Architecture The center was designed in 2011 by the Spanish architecture team MADE IN Architects, a group created specifically for this competition and led by architect Manuel Monteserin. The team was initially composed of Manuel Monteserin, Javier Simó, Beatriz Pachón, María Mallo, Guiomar Contreras, Nacho Álvarez Monteserin, Antonio Alejandro, Alicia Domingo, Luis Marcos, Beatriz Crespo, Ismael García, Iñigo Redondo, Jorge López, Andrés Infantes and Lain Sarustegui. The subsequent development of the project was carried out by Manuel Monteserin, Beatriz Pachón and Javier Simó, in collaboration with Eddea The project is dedicated to the pop music industry, which holds significant cultural and economic influence in this part of Asia. It comprises an outdoor amphitheater for 10,000 people, a concert hall for 6,000 people, six live houses known as the "Whales," five restaurants connected by an elevated walkway, two towers containing offices, museum spaces, and rehearsal rooms, an exhibition center, and a network of parks and promenades that link the entire site. The design seeks to produce a heterogeneous architectural landscape, in which each building responds to its specific program and context. During the design phases the team assigned names to the different architectures, such as the "Whales" and the "Dolphins." These names were later adopted by the citizens of Kaohsiung, who now refer to the buildings in the same way. A key objective from the competition stage was the creation of new public spaces that function independently of performances, integrating the project into the everyday life of the city. In the area of the live houses, the accessible green roofs form gentle hills overlooking the harbor and the sea. In the exhibition center, a large open shaded platform beneath hexagonal structures provides a flexible civic space that can host markets, dance events, theater, and other activities. More than a thousand trees were planted, creating a large park at the mouth of the Love River, with the expectation that the tropical humid climate will foster abundant vegetation in the coming years.
