After several delays, work has finally begun on Ram Katzir’s Tracing Future in Taipei’s Xinyi District.
This immersive Terrazzo and Corten steel artwork is designed to accommodate the site’s unique needs, frequented by elderly people and mothers with strollers.
A Corten steel line drawing winds through a Terrazzo floor, creating a central meeting point that feels like it has always been part of the landscape.
By connecting the building and plaza playfully and spatially, the artwork encourages interaction between visitors and residents, seemingly making the social housing complex ‘grow hands’ and rewrite itself.
Official opening in spring 2024
