Taipei Pop Music Center Introduction
The Taipei Pop Music Center is located between Nangang Station and the Kunyang Station of the Taipei Metro's Blue Line. It features a mixed-use campus covering an area of 8.96 hectares, divided into a northern zone and a southern zone by Civic Boulevard. The northern zone houses a medium to large performance venue called the "Performance Hall," which can accommodate 5,000 people and is dedicated to pop music performances. The southern zone features the "Pop Music Culture Museum," which presents the glorious history and various aspects of Taiwanese pop music through thematic exhibitions, as well as an "Industrial Area" aimed at cultivating music talents in Taiwan. Integrating pop music and pop culture, the Taipei Pop Music Center is not only a venue for pop music performances but also a functional campus that depicts pop culture and lifestyle, rooted in the pop music industry. The building was designed by RUR Architecture of the United States, inspired by ancient Roman squares, and combines circular spaces with art, commerce, markets, and performances. The aim is to create a 24-hour "functional building" that caters to the diverse uses of pop music industry professionals, citizens, and international tourists. The northern and southern zones are connected by a uniquely designed skybridge, and the three main buildings are aligned on the same horizontal line, enhancing the overall unity of the architecture while visually guiding visitors to different destinations. The Taipei Pop Music Center aspires to become a new landmark for Mandarin pop music in Asia, gathering creative talents and providing a hub for the pop music and its related industries, showcasing high-quality Taiwanese pop music culture, and generating cross-industry energy that combines music and cultural industries.
