About Taiwan Small Town Ramble Nag-unang Buluhaton: Pagpasikat sa Turismo

Ang Taiwan Small Town Ramble usa ka kampanya sa pagpasikat sa turismo nga gimugna aron ipasiugda ang gagmayng mga lungsod sa Taiwan. Ang kampanya naggamit ug mga bus sa Singapore nga nagdala ug tulo-ka-dimensiyon nga instalasyon sa usa ka tradisyonal nga balay sa Taiwan. Usa ka swallowtail nga atop, usa ka lokal nga estilo sa arkitektura, gibutang sa ibabaw sa matag bus. Ang mga dekoratibong tisa nga adunay mga pattern sa bulak nagtabon sa ubos nga katunga. Ang duha ka elemento mga iconic nga imahe sa tradisyonal nga mga lungsod sa Taiwan. Usa ka kinulit nga salag sa langaylangay, dugay nang gitan-aw isip simbolo sa bahandi ug kauswagan, nagkompleto sa instalasyon.

Unique Properties: Taiwan Small Town Ramble, a tourism campaign to promote Taiwanese distinguished townships, aims to reach the huge audience and to create an impactful impression in Singapore.

The 3D installation with a swallowtail roof of local unique architecture on the top and the decorative tiles with floral patterns on the bottom half of the bus are both iconic imageries of traditional towns.

The nest of swallow, a symbol of opulence and prosperity, is brought to life on the Traditional House Bus.
Dimensions & Packaging: For security and cultural reasons, the Singapore transport authority set up strict limitations for the creatives of bus 3D structure. For example:
1. No sharp edges are allowed on the 3D structure
2. Maximum protrusion from the bus rear to fall within 15cm
3 Every design & installation are subjected to LTA (Singapore transport authority) approval
4. No movement of the 3D structure are allowed
5. Size of structure to be within - 80cm(height) x 186cm (length) x 120cm (width) and max weight of 30kg

Production Technology: The massive field researches of 40 townships and districts was applied in this campaign. The goal is the creation of a local town tourism brand for Taiwan by showcasing the rich and diverse cultural landscapes, ecological landscapes, and recreational resources of specially-selected towns.
Design Challenge: A Chinese poet once wrote: Beneath the eaves of the high and mighty dwelt the swallows. The nest of swallow, a symbol of opulence and prosperity, is brought to life on the Traditional House Bus. However, it is extremely difficult to build realistic sculptures with detailed shapes and gradient colors of the swallows. Moreover, the Singapore transport authority has strict regulations about the size, edge, protrusion and even the creative itself.
Research: The swallowtail roof in Southern Min style concaves up and diverges at both ends just like the tail of a swallow, hence the name. In the past, these types of roofs were considered a sign of wealth, and the upper class would incorporate them in the design of their ancestral shrines. They are also featured in temples, often with designs even more elaborate and intricate; this unique style of architecture can only be found in Taiwan and Southern Fujian.
Inspiration: Taiwan Tourism Bureau unveiled 2019 campaign to promote small indigenous towns in Taiwan. The first ever 3D bus of traditional Taiwanese house will roam the streets of Singapore, offering the public a brand-new vision of the charm of Taiwan.

Red brick houses remain a common sight in towns, such as Lukang Changhua, Hengchun old town, and etc. Retro floral patterns from old floral-tiled houses in Kinmen and Kaohsiung, invite people to explore the beauty of Taiwan and its cultural heritage.
Project Duration: The campaign started in July 25, 2019 and finished in October 16, 2019, and the buses was scheduled on routes 80, 502, 196, 186, and 157 in Singapore.
Operation Flow: If you happen to find yourself in Singapore, be sure to take a bus ride on routes 80, 502, 196, 186, and 157 and indulge in the charm of small Taiwanese towns!
