Historically, in Taiwan, there exists a disconnect between the modernization of industrial development and the preservation of culture. Collaborating with Dr. Fu-sheng Shih of Soochow University, the WPI project team created an interactive website that captures the essence of the Shilin District’s cultural development and not only resonates with but also benefits Shilin through digital heritage preservation. Case studies on similar websites, community-based accompaniment in Shilin, and interviews with five Shilin locals informed the design of a final website that encapsulates Shilin’s unique identity through personal narratives accompanied by audio files, photograph galleries of people and places, and videography.
