This one-week workshop involved five architects and artists from around the world, each invited to lead a workshop around the theme of Taiwan’s annual Ghost Week. The work concluded with a parade to carry the final projects from the School down to a riverside park, along a route that led from the campus, through a low-scale neighborhood, past the police station and across a bridge. Our team decided to “dehaunt” the parade itself, by designing custom houses for categories of ghosts found dwelling along the parade route. These small houses became bait (the student’s called them “ghost cheese”), to entice each type of ghost into a Ghost Hotel, where they were trapped until the parade passed safely by. The parade concluded with launching (and burning) the Ghost Hotel in the river.
