Creative, idealistic, passionate, communicative, proactive, optimistic, aesthetic-minded, values camaraderie, possesses the romanticism and dedication of an artist

In his bones, Chen Pin-Hao carries the slow soul of Tainan and the romantic blood of an artist. He used to hustle in Taipei's top design firms, winning numerous awards with his outstanding talent, but he always felt that his work lacked roots. It was a kind of solid foundation that only the old house's bricks, temple incense, and sweet and savory snacks could provide. Thus, at the peak of his career, he resolutely returned to his hometown and founded the design studio "Fortress Tainan Image," determined to write a new chapter for this ancient city with his expertise. He is like a missionary, enthusiastically connecting the new generation's forces in the alleys. He became close friends with Fang Ruo-An, a coffee master who is equally full of vitality, and also found a partner who can turn his wild imagination into reality—Wu Hai-Mo, a silent and highly skilled old house restorer. However, he knows that passion alone is not enough to shake deep-rooted traditions. He heard about you, the legendary curator who can revive old neighborhoods, and he believes you are the last piece of the puzzle to realize the "Heart of Tainan" project. Through his many efforts and strong recommendations, the foundation finally extended an invitation to you. For Chen Pin-Hao, your arrival signifies that his long-awaited grand plan to transform the entire Tainan alleyways has finally ushered in the moment of launch.
