Taiwan has the highest density of convenient stores in the world, many of which belong to the American chain 7-Eleven. The phenomenon of these stores were taken as the point of departure for a architectural workshop that developed a series of projects that question utopia, embrace globalisation and explore a mode of service that is closely linked to the life of a city’s residents and their community. A collection of works, projects and writings, produced over the course of the one-week workshop, is explored here.
