　　5 years of research by around 200 students
　　Exposed over 400 cases of disused public facilities
　　Often seen in places around Taiwan, these large and unused public facilities are also known as “mosquito pavilions”. They often arise from inappropriate policies, where government, in the name of expanding internal consumptions and closing the urban and rural gaps, misjudge usage rates, implement inappropriate plans and designs, giving rise to the disused spaces around the country, a practice that till this day still remained. This project was executed by “Lost Society Document” formed by artist YAO Jui-Chung and students, targeting public facilities that cost huge funds in construction over the recent twenty years, every year one hundred cases that required the most attention and review was collected to form Mirage: Disused Public Property in Taiwan, over the past four years four volumes was published. This book selected one hundred critical cases from the four hundred cases exposed by the series, outlining the absurd state of Taiwanese society. In addition to providing the public a reference for reflection, it also allowed youths who have yet to serious observed their hometown to open up an alternative dialogue through the lens of the camera.

寻踪失落的公共领域：台湾被弃置公有资产的社会生态与空间记忆 《寻踪失落的公共领域：台湾被弃置公有资产的社会生态与空间记忆》 深入剖析了台湾社会结构变迁下，大量被政府持有或管理的、但已不再被有效利用的“弃置公有资产”（Disused Public Property, DPP）所构成的复杂空间景观与社会意涵。本书并非聚焦于单一建筑或特定历史事件，而是将这些被遗忘的角落视为社会肌理的切片，探究其如何反映出战后台湾在经济转型、都市化进程、以及政治制度演变中的深刻断裂与持续张力。 本书的叙事核心在于“公共性”的消逝与重塑。在台湾的现代化过程中，国家机器曾大规模地介入土地与空间建设，留下了大量的公共设施、工业遗址、军事管制区、以及早期社会福利机构的残余。然而，随着社会经济结构的剧烈调整——从重工业到高科技产业的转型，从威权体制到民主化的过渡——这些资产的初始功能和使用目的逐渐瓦解，使它们陷入一种“准公共”的灰色地带：它们在法律上仍属公有，但在实际功能上却处于休眠、荒废或半利用的状态。 第一部分：沉默的地理学——DPP的空间分布与物质形态 本部分首先建立了一套分析台湾DPP的地理学框架。作者通过对不同类型的弃置公有资产进行分类和空间测绘，揭示了其分布的非随机性。 工业遗产的幽灵： 重点考察了台糖、台纸、台盐等早期公营事业的厂区及其配套聚落。这些区域不仅是物质废墟，更是“集体记忆的凝固点”。本书细致描绘了这些大型工业遗址在转型期的困境：是进行昂贵的文创活化，还是任其自然衰败？我们观察到，拆除与保留之间的拉锯战，实际上是资本逻辑与地方情感的冲突。例如，对某中部大型糖厂旧址的案例分析显示，其空间肌理的复杂性（厂房、宿舍区、铁路系统）使得任何单一的“再开发”方案都无法完全承载其历史厚度。 军事遗留的空间禁区： 探讨了大量从戒严时期继承下来的空军基地、雷达站、以及滨海防御工事。这些场所的弃置往往伴随着高度的政治敏感性与土地权属的复杂纠缠。作者聚焦于这些“被清空”的空间如何影响了周边社区的流动性与发展潜力，以及“去军事化”过程在空间上留下的巨大真空。 僵化的行政机器： 分析了大量闲置的政府办公大楼、集体宿舍与已合并废止的地方机构（如区公所、特定农会建筑）。这些建筑通常拥有高度规范化的古典主义或实用主义的建筑语汇，它们的闲置标志着国家治理模式的更迭，以及对基层行政需求的重新定义。 第二部分：时间的错位——社会记忆与地方叙事 DPP并非纯粹的物理空间，它们是时间的容器，承载着不同世代对于“公共利益”的理解。本部分着重于社区如何与这些被遗忘的空间互动。 记忆的嵌入与重写： 本书访谈了大量长期居住在DPP周边的居民。对于许多老员工或社区成员而言，这些废弃的工厂或医院是他们青春、工作与生活的中心。当这些场所被标记为“无用”或“待拆除”时，随之而来的不仅是物质的消失，更是社会身份的瓦解。本书记录了社区自发组织对这些空间进行“非官方”维护或使用的努力，展现了民间对抗“遗忘政策”的微弱但坚韧的力量。 次生用途的生态学： 弃置公有资产在被官方定义为“待处理”的过程中，往往被非正式的次生用途所占据。本书详细考察了艺术家工作室、小型黑市交易、地方宗教集会，甚至是城市探险者（Urbex）社群对这些空间的探索。这些自发的“占有”行为，揭示了主流都市规划之外，对于“未分配空间”的内在需求。这些次生用途的生命周期往往短暂，但它们为理解城市弹性提供了宝贵的案例。 第三部分：治理的困境——权属、价值与未来的能见度 本书的批判性视角集中于当前台湾在处理这些庞大存量资产时所面临的结构性难题。 法律与产权的迷宫： 台湾的DPP问题常常被简化为“招商不力”或“文化保存僵化”，但本书揭示了其深层的法律障碍。许多资产的权属横跨中央、地方政府、特定法人机构，甚至牵涉到战后土地接收的复杂历史。这种产权的模糊性与多重性，导致资产在很长一段时间内被锁定在“所有权争议”的僵局中，无法进行有效的价值重估或再利用。 价值评估的失衡： 评估DPP的价值时，往往倾向于以“最大商业价值”作为唯一标尺。本书质疑这种单一价值取向的局限性。对于那些具有高度环境生态价值（如大型废弃水利设施或工业污染区）或深厚社区历史的场所，其“社会价值”或“生态修复潜力”如何在财务模型中得到体现？本书提出，缺乏对“慢价值”（Slow Value）的承认，是导致许多具潜力的公共空间最终走向被快速商品化或彻底遗弃的关键原因。 超越“活化”的再思考： 传统的解决之道是“文化资产活化”或“公私部门合作（PPP）”。然而，本书强调，对于那些在空间上过于庞大、在记忆上过于沉重，或在污染上过于棘手的DPP，简单的“活化”可能只是换了一种形式的“消费”。作者主张，应发展出一种新的“公共资产管理哲学”，它可能包括适度的“去干预”（Letting Go）——允许自然生态接管，或建立“共享信托”机制，将未来权利与社会责任更清晰地绑定。 《寻踪失落的公共领域》是一部对台湾空间历史进行深度勘探的非虚构作品。它邀请读者超越日常的城市景观，去关注那些被遗忘的、沉默的公有空间，理解它们如何不动声色地塑造着我们今天的社会结构与文化认同。本书的结论是，处理好这些“失落的公共领域”，不仅是城市规划的挑战，更是台湾社会如何定义其未来公共性与集体责任的关键考验。

LSD (Lost Society Document)

　　LSD is a group made up of students from Taipei National University of the Arts and National Taiwan Normal University. In the beginning of the semester in 2010, YAO Jui-Chung asked the students about their expectations for this class whether to follow the normal class format or to investigate the “mosquito hall”. The students decided to do field studies. They identified 147 cases in six months and compiled the book Mirage I: Disused Public Property in Taiwan, which outlined the absurd situation in Taiwanese society and embodied the fact that “misguided policy is worse than corruption.” Meanwhile, this artistic action took a part of the 2010 Taipei Biennial Movement Project. It was widely reported by the media, and attracted a high level of attention from the government. It even prompted a call from the Vice President and a visit from the Premier of the Executive Yuan. After the meeting, YAO & LSD have constantly been working on the project and published Mirage almost every year: Mirage I (2010), Mirage II (2011), Mirage III (2013), Mirage IV (2014), Mirage V (2016) and Mirage (English version, 2016). The numbers of LSD members have increased to over 200 students and growing. The students’ art action was like a stone thrown into a pond, using artistic methods to hold up a social issue to scrutiny and engage the awareness of the people in regards to that issue.

作者序

　　What are “mosquito halls”? How many “mosquito halls” are there in Taiwan, and how were they formed? Is every “mosquito hall” a standalone case, or a hint of the structural problem in different industries? Or are the “mosquito halls” an overall product conspired from the social system?

　　Because the mosquito hall phenomenon is increasingly problematic, I decided in March 2010 to lead the students from the two universities, I taught out for field studies. Since then there have been participation from over 170 students over the past 5 years, publishing 4 books in Chinese, the English version was a selection of 100 sites from over 400 cases. Without any funding, the students proceeded back to their hometown for investigation, from the results the romantic sentiments can be felt from the heart of these young students, this also demonstrates like David against Goliath there is a way for us to challenge the government giant. From the continuing researches, photographing, discussions and writings, the students became more aware of the true meaning of “wrong policy is much more dangerous than corruption”.

　　The formation of “mosquito halls” is complicated; it is mainly caused by election promises or election checks issued by political figures, the misdirected policies, eager for a visible result, pursuing the title of greatest in the world or the largest in the Far East, overly optimistic estimation in usage, inadequate planning and bad design, not meeting the needs of the people, inaccessible facility location and inadequate subsequent funds for constructions, repairs and operation. Resulting in the low usage or complete idleness of the completed facilities, this type of “disused public spaces” constructed from political reasons, elections, expanding internal needs or closing the urban rural disparities are located all around the country and are still increasing.

　　For example, the Council of Indigenous People promoted the “Taiwan Provincial Aboriginal community development program” and the “1999 implementation plan to improve the quality of life of indigenous people”, spending billions of dollars to construct over 40 aboriginal cultural museums, many of the spaces were relatively large, but the content was often the same, the model template of ethnic symbols and cheap cultural consumption, and even become resident activity center, nursery classes or internet cafes. Hakka Affairs Council also actively promote the “Hakka culture and living environment creation plan” the construction of the over 20 Hakka cultural museums, it is a fight for election votes under the name of cultural promotion; and too many cases that blindly follow international trends, such as Sports Administration’s program in “promotion of adolescent extreme sports” subsidizing 17 local governments more than 330 million NTD to build 24 extreme sports parks, but few of the population participated in the sport, currently 2 of the parks have been abandoned and 8 have been demolished. Ministry of Transportation promoted “a car park for every town” policy, spending 24.7 billion NTD and constructed 308 car parks, 38 are idle, 7 of which have never been used, and even allocated another set of budget for their removal; the Ministry of the Interior “Taiwan Province four-year plans to build public parking”, subsidized 190 car parks, where 9 are idle; but the most tragic example is the “an incinerator for every city” policy, back then a seemingly good plan by the Environment Protection Agency, but currently many county governments are being sued for billions in compensation from contractors, becoming a hot potato for the local governments. Ministry of Economic Affairs was not much better, constructing many large and useless markets, the Ministry of Interior also created many social welfare or sightseeing recreational facilities, but was not appreciated by the visitors. Council of Agriculture constructed a bunch of fish market or agricultural sightseeing outlet center, it had the good intentions to avoid exploitation by the middlemen, but the lack of marketing and retail channels left it to its own devices. As for state-owned enterprises, 51 major investment plans, idle equipment or projects were unable to attain economic benefits, the other small and medium sized construction and development cases to be assessed are a dime a dozen, very likely even the central or local government itself is not very clear.

　　Aside from the unpredictable natural disasters, the 100 cases analyzed in the book are idle because of complicated and related reasons; these reasons can initially be categorized as the following:

　　Changes in time caused the original intended use to disappear─for example, because of local consumer habit many traditional retail markets are difficult to attract venders from the second floor upward, in addition to this there are now convenient stores, and wholesales supermarkets and department stores, resulting in the high idle rate. Since the end of the cold war, the tension eased between the two sides of the strait, military reorganized their stations, many facilities and divisions were merged and abolished, leaving over 200 idle barracks; thousands of hectares of military community land were also gradually released for rejuvenation but because reconstruction involves great profits underneath the table hence there land transitional justice requires careful navigation.

　　In recent years, because of the urban rural disparities and low birth rate, many elementary schools in the country side was forced to scale down, merge or become abolished, these numbers may increase even more in the future, it should be combined with the use of private resources for revitalizing the community. Even though the three types of cases above are idle due to change in the surrounding situations if the government can work with the private sectors, there are still many possibilities.

　　Disjoint in policies and the people’s wills─for example, 20 to 30 years ago, there was the policies of “a car park for every town”, “a swimming pool for every town”, “an incinerator for every city”, etc. These structures constructed under the ideal policy of benefiting all in the country, has become idle from the high operation cost, or lack of visitor capacity for operation.

　　In recent years, there was a growing trend in the concept of “park sites” in various forms, “green environmental protection park”, “organic culture park”, “biotechnology park”, “cultural and creative park”. Lead by the central government, the local governments rushed in behind, to assign the tangible and intangible items into the concept of “park site”, even collaborating on large-scale developments with the consortiums on BOT enclosure movement, the developers took the opportunity to speculate on the surrounding land, other counties also imitate the urban park site model for political achievements. However without careful assessment of the market demand in advance and objective view in the change of general environment, a number of park sites result in high vacancy rate; some industrial park even used the developmentalism ideology to expropriate private land or agricultural land, causing grievances.

　　Poor planning─usually demands are raised by local governments, for the applicable industry authorities for examination or for future reference, then execution authorities will meet with scholars and experts, commission project teams for planning and design, but often because of the prior investigation were not thorough and did not fully understanding the local residents’ demand, coupled with over-ambitious, opinionated bureaucratic mentality, or the overly optimistic visitors predictions, reliant on international branding and design that does not fit the local customs as well as other factors, under the stunning modern building are interior spaces that was not necessarily practical; In addition, the relevant regulations limits the outsourcing operators, creating the dilemma where operations cannot be self-financing and sustainable, but the lack of exit transition and control mechanisms ultimately results in low usage rate and not easy to tender.

　　Election checks and vote captain culture─a phenomenon not uncommon in the democratic system countries, it is mainly caused by the candidate issuing development promises that are not necessarily in line with local needs in order to win the election and obtain administrative power, this is called “election checks”. In order to obtain the right to rule, parties with a certain scale will often promise local developments to gain support from voters, making party workers lobby or positioning concealed vote captains to consolidate local forces and supports. Among which bulk of the construction are large public structures, because they are short-term, tangible achievements, and sometimes in order to secure the tender, there will be “political and corporate cockroaches” escorting the tender to get through the party and government obstacles. A closed pyramid structure is formed from the layers of rebates and benefits, resulting in many public facility constructions carried out to cash out the election checks but out of touch with actual functions that cannot escape from the fate of becoming completely idle or low use.

　　Collusive tendering and bid rigging─public sector tenders usually adopt minimum bid awarded system, hence some companies will set up satellite companies or private collusion with other companies in the industry to overvalue or undervalue the cost. There may even be an internal bidding prior to the tender, where the previous successful bidders will participate in the tender, which ever company won the tender will then allocate to others, thereby crowding out other competitors to gain benefits, because criminal organizations often use illegal means to intervene, it is known as "collusive tendering." The tender details may be leaked, the baseline price or set up vendor-specific set of special tender conditions, which is called "bid rigging", these are often used with coordination to local political forces or vote captain culture.

　　Corrupted business sales and engineering scandals─in some cases in order to profit companies, or the contractor and the proprietor have too close a relationship, secretly helping specific contractor to bid successfully, to get rebates paid back underneath the table. Some executives due to particular political tendency or desired distribution of benefits, disclosure baseline price or jury committee list to the tenderer, the tender winning price being the same as the reserved baseline price was not uncommon, if there was not conspire, why fear the Control Yuan and ethics officials at the investigations? Civil servants being taken into custody and serving time in the prison are not uncommon, but it is still difficult to suppress heresy opening the side doors.

　　Poor construction quality─commonly known as “tofu curd” construction. Usually occurs in cases where the lowest bid was awarded the tender case, unscrupulous contractors pay rebates in order to get through the administrative procedures, to get away with changes in the design, inferior work and materials, and other alternative ways to reduce material costs, coupled with lax supervision, poor quality, after the completion issue appears one after another, there were even some cases where construction was demolished and rebuilt; or after facility just passing the acceptance checks signs of leaking, dampness, cracks and other problems appeared, therefore the actual user will have to refurbish the facility, increasing the burden of operating cost, and there were also cases where the facilities cannot be used.

　　Incomplete administrative procedures─this belongs to administration flaws. Usually in order to circumvent the relevant laws, such as construction was carried out before assessment was completed, resulting in the facility unable to obtain a license, or alteration in the construction purpose making it difficult to sign the acceptance of construction after it was finished, or project level contracting, or repeated delays in construction, supplementary increase in budget, and even government and contractor’s bilateral accusations entering into the judicial process, resulting in the construction project unable to complete the required legal procedures and became idle.

　　Authorities moving to new location result in the original building becoming idle─on 25th of October 2010, five counties merged into municipalities (Taipei, New Taipei, Taichung, Tainan, and Kaohsiung), former county public office was restructured and relocated into new buildings, leaving many county government buildings because of change in the official nature and the lack of restructuring plans therefore became idle. Another type is after moving into newly built office building, the original unit due to lack of re-use plan became idle even though building was still functional.

　　Lack of funding to repair old buildings, historical buildings or monuments─government present the goodwill to promote cultural asset preservation, but often lack the funds to maintain operation, or renovation costs are often several times the reconstruction cost, becoming difficult to proceed; or after renovation due to limited subsidies, expenditure often exceed income, to make ends meet often resulting in a lack of personnel and management and becomes once again idle. In addition once the building was designated as a monument or historical building, the property owner cannot remove the building in the future for other use, sometimes before the government declared the building for preservation it will be engulfed by unknown fire accident, which is indeed strange.

　　Mismanagement─some venues because of shortage in fulltime or part-time staff, even if we have national serviceman to care for the exhibition, but the lack of planning, promotion, publicity and management capabilities, leads to the venue opening times becoming erratic, some even require group reservations by phone. Open hours become the civil servants’ working hours (this even includes lunch break), visitors are required to register before admission, in order to save the cost of electricity from time to time they may even just suspend service all together... appearing powerless from the lack of authority evaluation and exit mechanisms, lack of professional staff and resources that are essential to operation, with its limited promotional channel, stereotypical exhibitions, uninteresting activities, there will naturally be very little visitors.

　　Capital expenditure more important than operating expenditure─you often see under the magnificent exterior of public buildings, an operation management that does not match up, in addition to lack of outside professionals, the fundamental factor is that the government accounting department places too much emphasis on the “capital expenditure” (tangible assets), ignoring “operation expenditure” (recurrent expenditure), often resulting in insufficient funds which affects normal operations, such as many of the cultural centers, exhibitions and cultural facilities, historical monuments, social welfare facilities, and so on, are often faced with plenty of luxury amenities but caught by operation difficulties, the capital expense and operation expense should be inspect according to operating characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of the actual operating conditions as a reference and adjust the subsidies accordingly for each year.

　　Cultural protection is relegated to the fixed culture industry model─a large number of local cultural centers, Hakka cultural centers, Aboriginal cultural centers…features exhibitions with too much similarity, and often in the name of protecting ethnic minority, market products in the name of culture, this weakens the possibility of diverse ethnic groups and cultural development. The recent rapid rise of cultural and creative park, with its goal to create value through the packaging of culture, but may slowly become a kind of cultural and creative template model, even attempts to create high-quality output and is not subject to many of the original market favor, unsafe content were ruled out, for example, political issues, unification and independence, sensational contents, and of course religious prejudice and avant-garde art; only a youthfulness, happiness, creative market, or video games, animation, dramas and other popular culture remained. If the future of cultural development was left to the control of policy, market manipulation or media-oriented, it may gradually become the narrowing of the “cultural industry” into a template model.

　　Idle space become idle again after revitalization─many of the original idle space under the government’s “reactivation of idle space” policy, after the renovation operating was carried out by the private sectors, because the majority of operating funds come from government grants, regulations dictates they cannot be self-financing, often after lively exhibitions and performance activities, due to lack of constant subsidies and cannot benefit from seeking additional financial resources, there are also cases where authorities without professional backgrounds intervene with professional managements, after the contract term expires operators often consider quitting due to many factors, other teams who originally were willing to take over were also shunned, result in failed revitalization and becomes once again idle.

　　There is also a strange phenomenon in recent years, “Industrial Parks” have emerged all over the country, with “leisure industry”, “cultural industry” as the leading policy, now has a comprehensive and progressive integration of industry, government and academia, in the trend of public constructed private management atmosphere, the government at attempts to create a beautiful blueprint expropriate private lands and renovate empty spaces, construct a variety of large-scale developments that does not meet the supply and demand (a conservative estimate of about a hundred sites in Taiwan), scholars competing and bidding to become tenderer for planning case or case study has become a commonplace, many academic institutions have also invest in business operations, let alone large consortiums who have already secured a favorable position, clever political and commercial relations layer by layer subcontracting out each sharing a piece of the pie. Regardless of the output and production capacity these parks may bring, or the enclosure type construction that lead to fractured local relationships, in the political calculations, political interests rests above the interests of the people, before election lobbying for votes, after the election rewards was given, this was the repeated pattern over and over again. Back then the numerous, but mostly standalone “mosquito halls”, today have become large park sites often containing dozens of buildings of more profit potential.

　　When the government have full control of resources in cooperation with the consortiums, and with justified reasons for development, the original distribution according to justice becomes distribution according to benefits, the core of the collusion is no longer for the implementation of independent civil development, but a model type park site which data can be manipulated into beautiful statistics, front page inaugural ceremony and speeches, promises of happiness and recreational activities, and sometimes policy placement marketing, the park is like a showroom or theme park backdrop, unconscious visitors become temporary actors, and become investors’ bargaining chip to exchange for more capital.

　　Chasing upstream to the original cause, this is related to the government so called “leveling the urban-rural difference”, “job creation”, “development of regional industry”, “enhance the international standard”, the above slogans are all product in the mindset of economic growth, the pursuit of affluence society is understandable, but under the command of market economy premise only positive performance statistics can be transformed into bargaining chip in elections, cultural values that cannot be quantified into data, are often overshadowed by profit and loss statements.

　　Therefore, based on the creation of value driven policy to win votes, often only by “the profit of development”, “promised happiness” can individual population groups be attracted, many unnecessary development some even overexploited, often wiping out individual areas of special historical importance, unknowingly, it loss its own subjectivity and values, “mosquito hall” is the typical representative, its has lost not only tax money and space, but also the image of trust for the government and the people.

　　Despite the current central government carrying out comprehensive revitalization measures, but county and city governments have failed to effectively grasp the idle inventory within their jurisdiction, how can they finance for revitalization?

这本书的出现，简直就是为我这样对台湾历史空间着迷的读者量身打造的。我一直觉得，现代都市的发展往往会抹去很多过往的痕迹，而《Mirage：Disused Public Property in Taiwan》似乎提供了一个机会，让我们能够去“看见”那些被遗忘的“过去”。我非常期待书中对这些废弃公共财产的“叙事”方式。仅仅是“disused public property”这个概念，就充满了想象空间。它不仅仅是物理上的空间，更是一种社会、经济、甚至政治状态的象征。书中会如何去“诊断”这些空间的“病症”？是由于规划失误、资金断裂，还是时代发展的必然？我尤其好奇，作者是否会从一个更宏观的角度去分析，这些废弃的公共财产是如何反映出台湾不同发展阶段的社会经济特征。例如，在某个时期，大量的公共建设是否体现了政府的投入和期望？而在另一个时期，它们的废弃又是否暗示着经济结构的转型或发展方向的调整？我个人对那些曾经承载了集体记忆的场所特别感兴趣，比如曾经热闹非凡的公园、学校、甚至是社区活动中心，它们如今的衰败，是否也意味着曾经的社区活力和人际关系的某种断裂？这本书如果能提供一些个案研究，深入挖掘某个特定废弃场所的前世今生，那对我来说将是极大的收获。我希望书中不仅仅是“拍一拍”照片，更重要的是“讲一个故事”，一个关于时间、空间、以及人与环境互动的深刻故事。它是否能引发我们对当下公共财产利用的反思？对未来的城市规划和空间设计提出一些启示？我非常期待这本书能够拓展我的视野，让我对台湾的城市景观有更深层次的理解。

《Mirage：Disused Public Property in Taiwan》这个书名，仿佛是一个引子，勾起了我对台湾那些被遗忘的角落的无限遐想。我一直觉得，一个地方的历史，不仅仅是文字记载，更体现在那些静默的建筑和废弃的空间里。这些“Disused Public Property”，它们曾经是社会的一部分，承载过人们的希望和需求，如今却沉寂下来，成为时间的见证者。我非常期待这本书能够深入挖掘这些空间的背后故事。例如，它们是如何诞生的？在当时又扮演了怎样的角色？是什么原因让它们最终走向了废弃？是因为经济因素？政策的变动？还是城市发展的必然？我猜想，作者一定花费了大量的时间和精力去实地探访，去捕捉这些空间的独特光影。我希望书中不仅仅是展示照片，更能提供一些深刻的分析，让我们理解这些“Mirage”是如何形成的，以及它们折射出怎样的社会、经济和文化现象。我个人尤其对那些曾经承载了集体记忆的场所感兴趣，比如一些老旧的学校、社区活动中心，甚至是曾经热闹非凡的游乐场，它们如今的衰败，是否也意味着某种社会关系的断裂？而且，我一直觉得，这些废弃的空间，在岁月的洗礼下，反而形成了一种独特的“后现代”美学，一种带有沧桑感和诗意的景观。我希望这本书能够捕捉到这种美，让我们以一种全新的视角去审视它们。这本书或许能引发我们对当下城市发展和公共资源利用的反思。

读到《Mirage：Disused Public Property in Taiwan》这个书名，我脑子里立刻浮现出许多画面。我从小在台湾长大，见过太多因时代变迁而闲置的公共建筑和场所。那些曾经人声鼎沸的市场、热闹非凡的工厂，甚至是为某个特定年代的政策目标而建造的设施，如今都可能变成一片荒芜，或者被改造成了截然不同的用途。这本书的出现，感觉就像是为这些“沉默的证人”发声。我猜想，这本书的作者一定花了很多时间和精力去搜集这些影像资料，去实地探访这些被遗忘的角落。我很好奇，书中呈现的“Mirage”究竟指的是什么？是那些曾经的辉煌如今只剩下虚幻的影子？还是这些废弃的公共财产本身，在某种程度上，也象征着某种被夸大的理想或未实现的承诺？我特别期待书中能够提供一些历史背景的解释，比如这些废弃场所是如何产生的，它们在建造之初的目的是什么，以及它们为何最终被放弃。是不是有些是因为经济效益不佳？有些是因为政策导向的改变？或者，有些根本就是因为历史的偶然，被时间的长河所遗忘？我希望这本书不仅仅是展示照片，更能提供一些深入的分析，让我们理解这些“Mirage”背后的社会、经济和文化动因。而且，我一直觉得，这些废弃的空间，虽然失去了原有的功能，但它们本身就构成了一种独特的景观，一种“后工业”或“后发展”时代的独特美学。我希望书中能够捕捉到这种美学，让我们从新的角度去欣赏它们，甚至从中发现新的价值和可能性。
