Last year, Taipower's Light Up 13-Layer Remains in Ruifang on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival not only attracted tens of thousands of spectators, but also created a new model for revitalizing cultural assets with public art. Taipower won the Best Design Award in the Germany's 2020 Red Dot Design Award and Japan's Good Design Award. Yesterday (December 11), it continued on to take a pan-Chinese design index award, the Golden Pin Design Award in the Best Integrated Design of the Year Category from among more than 2,000 designs from 20 places around the world. Taipower D/S ONE, the nation's first green energy theme exhibition gallery, was also selected for the Golden Pin Design Award and the annual Concept Design mark. In addition, Taipower's TPCreative, which features circular economy and was co-branded with the Golden Horse Award, was also recognized by the 2020 Taiwan Design Best 100. Taipower indicated that in recent years, its active communication with society through diverse cultural and artistic methods has once again received recognition.

  • Taipower received the Golden Pin Design Award for Best Design last night. Taipower's Chairman Yang Wei-fuu took the stage to accept the honor. Yang Wei-fuu said that lighting up this cultural relic perhaps helps everyone notice that there is such a place in Taiwan. By using light and shadows to recreate the brilliance of this site, Taipower has allowed everyone to look back on this historical memory that reveals each step of Taiwan's social and economic growth.

  • Last year, Taipower's Light Up 13-Layer Remains in Ruifang on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival not only attracted tens of thousands of spectators, but also created a new model for revitalizing cultural assets with public art. After winning the Best Design Award in the Germany's 2020 Red Dot Design Award and Japan's Good Design Award, Taipower continued on to take the Best Design Award in the Golden Pin Design Award last night.

Taipower’s soft power burst out yesterday afternoon with its Vice President Hsu Tsao-Hua representing the company in accepting the "Best 100" design award from the "Shopping Design" magazine. Opening at the end of last year, the green energy exhibition gallery--Taipower D/S ONE won the "Brand of the Year" award together with STARLUX Airlines. Taipower's TPCreative also won the "Social Care and Friendly Environment" award. Last evening, Taipower won the pan-Chinese design index award, the Golden Pin Design Award, in the Best Integrated Design of the Year Category for its Light Up 13-Layer Remains public art installation event. Taipower Chairman Yang Wei-fuu went on stage to accept the honor. Taipower D/S ONE also won the Golden Pin Concept Design mark and was selected for the Best Design Award.

  • Yesterday, the nation's first green energy theme exhibition gallery, Taipower D/S ONE, and the circular-economy-based TPCreative, which was newly co-branded with the Golden Horse Awards to create VIP gifts, won the recognition of the 2020 Taiwan Design Best100.

  • TPCreative, which features circular economy, previously launched the popular manhole cover-shaped coasters made with power plant coal ash. This year, the Golden Horse Award invited Taipower to create the classic horse head with coal ash and cement. The Logo is combined with old official paper to form a "scented stone notebook." It was selected as a Golden Horse VIP gift, making TPCreative the first public sector to be in collaboration for producing the VIP gifts.

Taipower’s Light Up 13-Layer Remains created a new model for revitalizing cultural assets with public art. Last year, it lit up the Mid-Autumn Festival evening to recreate the past glory of the gold mining industry. In June, it won the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America award; in July, it won the Best Design Award in Germany's 2020 Red Dot Design Award. This time, it competed with 2,333 designs from 20 places around the world, including the United States, Germany, Poland, Canada and South Korea for the Golden Pin Design Award. After the three stages of preliminary review, secondary review and final review, it stood out from among the other entries to become one of only five designs to win the Golden Pin Design Award in the Best Integrated Design of the Year Category.

Taipower explained that the 13-Layer Remains used to be the largest prime mine in Jinguashi, Ruifang. Towards the end of the 1980s, with the decline in minerals and the closure of Taijin Company, it was taken over by Taipower. Although the land is listed as a pollution control site because of the metals and minerals, it is culturally valuable. The value of its cultural assets continues to be recognized, and it was eventually selected as New Taipei City’s historical building and a potential world cultural heritage site. To ensure that the public is not affected, Taipower experimented with promoting the revitalization of cultural resources with "far-sighted" public art. It collaborated with international lighting master Lien Chou, artist Joyce Ho and YI.ng Lighting Design Consultant.

Taipower D/S ONE is Taipower's innovative field brand. It incorporated technology, society and arts into environmental education, and integrated a substation and exhibition gallery for the first time ever to become the nation's first green energy theme exhibition gallery. The gallery features the "EnerGym," which is an immersive somatosensory interaction gym that integrates energy into the gym. The gym connects bouncing, dancing, hoop shooting, battle ropes, flywheels and other physical interactions to the principle of power generation with renewable energy. It also presents information in the form of digital art and technology, and has been called "The Most Fun Exhibition Gallery in Taiwan." It won the Red Dot Brand and Communication Design Award for its exhibition design in July. Yesterday, it won the 2020 Best100 "Brand of the Year" award, affirming Taipower's new brand identity where Taiwpower is elevated from being a power supplier to an activist in sustainable development. That evening during the Golden Pin Design Award, it was also recognized with a Concept Design Mark award and selected for the Best Design Award.
