The Taijiang Cultural Center is nestled in a lush, green environment, surrounded by natural landscapes. Combining multifunctional facilities such as a performance hall, community college, and library, it has become a key cultural hub for the local community. This cultural center serves not only as a platform for cultural and educational exchange but also fosters community cohesion, offering residents a wealth of activities and learning opportunities.

The exterior of the theater features an irregular distribution of geometric metal blocks, resembling reed flowers blooming and fluttering in the wind. The white façade is covered with SKA 20-01 series expanded metal. Unlike typical buildings, it cleverly utilizes the transparency effect of the expanded metal to present sleek straight lines and facades, showcasing a unique and elegant style.

ShangKai Steel's expanded metal can block direct sunlight from hitting the building, effectively reducing heat transfer indoors, thereby lowering indoor temperatures. This enhances energy efficiency, increases the comfort of visitors during tours, and provides a more comfortable environment while maintaining good natural lighting.

The design of the Taijiang Cultural Center blends modern aesthetics with practical functionality, dedicated to promoting a diverse range of artistic and cultural performances. Situated in Tainan, a city rich in cultural heritage, it has become a unique and distinctive cultural landmark.
