The biennale theme highlights collaboration as the essence of design, relying on communication and connections between individuals. The Taiwan Pavilion responds to this theme by creating an open hardware store, showcasing Taiwan's indispensable role in the global manufacturing supply chain despite its small size. Vibrant small and medium-sized enterprises form independent yet interconnected industry clusters, quickly adapting and collaborating during the pandemic. Taiwan's complex international situation, similar to its renowned bicycle industry, cannot be defined by a singular exterior. Disassembling the components reveals unique styles, but their assembly demonstrates precision and impeccable quality. This bottom-up mechanism defines Taiwan's distinct freedom and vitality in Asia. During the pandemic, Taiwan's visibility has increased, with more countries recognizing its importance. The English theme, "Visible Shop," emphasizes Taiwan's growing global recognition.

The curatorial team of the Taiwan Pavilion is led by Serendipity Studio in collaboration with National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University. Assistant Professor Ling-Li Tseng from the Department of Architecture serves as the curator, and Loudly Lightning Studio are invited to create installation art. The exhibition space cleverly utilizes the existing two fireplaces, with a large number of extruded aluminum tubes creating a sense of speed in manufacturing. The electromagnet power devices entering the fireplaces extend like production lines. The overall design incorporates metal, screws, and electromagnet installations as the medium, presenting the image of Taiwan as a small yet highly flexible player in the global division of labor, resembling a hardware store.
