Made in Taiwan is a traveling design studio led by Rosalyne Shieh and Thomas Moran. A collaboration between the University of Michigan’s Taubman College and NCKU, the studio will explore the phenomenon of informal urbanism in Taiwan exemplified by Taiwan’s famous night markets.Tumblr (3.0;

shops would use the space in front of their store to display goods during the day and then often rent it out to night vendors, complete with water and electric.  This was one of the very few pockets in Taipei that went neglected.</p> <p>-jtc</p>http://madeintaiwanstudio.tumblr.com/post/1038430118http://madeintaiwanstudio.tumblr.com/post/1038430118Mon, 30 Aug 2010 16:34:28 -0400thatsformosa<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7z8hweASs1qcqrrlo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7z8hweASs1qcqrrlo2_500.jpg"/><br/> Thom striking a superhero pose<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7z8hweASs1qcqrrlo3_500.jpg"/><br/> Our little village at night<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7z8hweASs1qcqrrlo4_500.jpg"/><br/> Brittany and the mud cave.

class="MsoNormal">Traditional Canoe:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The Tao people are strongly connected to the ocean, so any activities concerning the water were incredibly important. The men on the island crafted traditional boats from many different types of wood without the use of metal fasteners. These canoes were an essential part of life on the island. Only men were allowed anywhere near the boats because they were responsible for catching fish while women cared for the family and grew taro, the main crop on the island.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Traditional Tao House:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The traditional houses came in various sizes, the largest being a four door house – the highest status symbol for a family. Tao men strived for two things in life: to build a 10 person boat and a four door house. The houses have 3 main components. The largest structure is completely submerged in the ground, the middle structure is partially below ground level, and the last element, which is also the smallest, is elevated from the ground.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">-Pauline</p></p>http://madeintaiwanstudio.tumblr.com/post/1033848845http://madeintaiwanstudio.tumblr.com/post/1033848845Sun, 29 Aug 2010 20:26:00 -0400pshammami<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7xmjw0bxu1qcqrrlo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7xmjw0bxu1qcqrrlo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7xmjw0bxu1qcqrrlo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><p class="MsoNormal">Kenting</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Day: beach hopping</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Night: main street-turned night market</p> <p class="MsoNormal">We also enjoyed a fantastic seafood dinner – chosen from a display of live fish, of course.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">-Pauline</p></p>http://madeintaiwanstudio.tumblr.com/post/1032925724http://madeintaiwanstudio.tumblr.com/post/1032925724Sun, 29 Aug 2010 17:04:00 -0400pshammami<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7xm41jnkH1qcqrrlo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7xm41jnkH1qcqrrlo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7xm41jnkH1qcqrrlo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7xm41jnkH1qcqrrlo4_500.jpg"/><br/> view from the bathroom- serious business<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7xm41jnkH1qcqrrlo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><p class="MsoNormal">Pit-stop for a mountain lunch</p> <p class="MsoNormal">We were serenaded with traditional tribal music after we enjoyed a meal with vegetables and meats from the local area, completely surrounded by mountains and greenery.
