Below are eight recommended spots across Taiwan featuring exposed concrete structures. Each location boasts design-forward spaces and exteriors that, against the backdrop of blue skies and white clouds, make for incredibly artistic photos—perfect for a minimalist urban getaway.

1. Taichung - Incubation Space
The Incubation Space, designed by Lihe Construction, has attracted numerous visitors for its highly design-conscious spaces. Its exposed concrete exterior, long, narrow staircase, paired with green turf and marble walls, resembles a scaled-down version of the National Taichung Theater, making it a new hidden gem for photoshoots and social media check-ins.

2. Taichung - Asia Modern Art Museum
Located at Asia University in Taichung, the Asia Modern Art Museum stands out with its unique architectural style and design, making it a must-visit hot spot for Instagram photographers, hipsters, and architecture art enthusiasts. The main structure of the museum is built with exposed concrete and curtain walls, marking Tadao Ando's first design project in Taiwan and also the world’s first university-campus museum designed by him.

The museum’s design is based on the fundamental element of an equilateral triangle, conveying the balance among environment, architecture, and people. The triangular floor plan is divided into three levels and then staggered and stacked into countless irregular triangles.

3. Taipei - Shih Chien University
Renowned for its programs in architecture and fashion design, Shih Chien University is considered one of the flagships of exposed concrete architecture. As soon as you step onto campus, you’re enveloped by a strong design atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for photography.
