"MAKEPRO" is an exhibition designed for the industrial and manufacturing sector of the annual event: Taiwan Design Expo’22 in Kaohsiung. Located at No.7, Pier-2 Warehouse, a coherent zigzagged circulation allowed the visitors to stroll freely within the orthogonal structural grid. The fluidity of the space engages the existing building to become a part of the exhibition.

Various types of scraps and leftovers from the local metal manufacturing industry were collected, such as iron filings, iron blocks, refractory ceramic balls, steel sections, and larger containers that carry industrial products like paint buckets and boat-shaped boxes. They were then organized and stacked to portray an undulating material landscape. Clusters of exhibition stands formed archipelagos that scatter and float in the space. Under the spotlights, details and texture of the rugged material were revealed and presented to the viewers. Visitors enter through a compressed entrance space and then wander amongst the metal mountains, experiencing the philosophy of "smart" manufacturing industries through raw materials, products, and the culture of livelihood. Altogether they display the unique charm of the Kaohsiung manufacturing industry, with senses of heaviness, sound and scent.
