Taiwan Pavilion

This is one of the primary venues of the 2024 Paris Cultural Olympiad. Situated in the 19th arrondissement of Paris (Pont-de-Flandre), it is one of the largest parks in the capital. The park is also among the pioneering cultural institutions to offer multidisciplinary courses. Throughout the year, a diverse array of events are hosted here, ranging from concerts (jazz, world music, electronic, classical, modern, pop, and rock) to contemporary circus shows, exhibitions, theater performances, dance showcases, outdoor cinema screenings, and beyond. Parc de la Villette, designed by architect Bernard Tschumi in 1982, was established on the former site of a slaughterhouse on the outskirts of the city. At that time, the government held a competition for an urban redevelopment project to commemorate the bicentenary of the French Revolution. In the end, Tschumi emerged as the winner with a plan composed of points, lines, and planes. Taking the spirit of fraternity as the starting point, he envisioned creating a liberated space that could serve as a natural haven for all Parisians to unwind.
