2025 Golden Pin Design Award Exhibition

We visited the Golden Pin Design Award Exhibition at the Taiwan Design Museum, located within the Songshan Cultural and Creative Park in Taipei. The exhibition presented over a hundred award-winning projects and explored contemporary design through the theme “The Spectrum of Scale.” By focusing on aspects such as innovation, functionality, aesthetics, and communication, it offered insight into how design is evaluated and how different works relate to one another across various dimensions like weight, presence, and tempo.

Beyond the exhibition, we also had the opportunity to visit the park’s library, which is uniquely housed in a former women’s bathhouse. This space stands out for its atmospheric combination of historical architecture and modern cultural use, creating a quiet and inspiring environment for reading and reflection.

The entire area itself has a rich history: originally built as a tobacco factory in the 1930s, it has since been transformed into a creative hub with galleries, studios, shops, and cafés. The preserved industrial structures, together with new cultural functions, make the site a compelling example of how heritage and contemporary design can coexist.
