The abandoned old buildings covered by vines and green trees can be easily seen

everywhere in Taiwan, but most people have not asked why these “ruins” are so

dilapidated and decayed to be seen in front of people’s eyes. The eighteenth-century

philosophers, poets, artists, architects and rulers—while gazing on the ruins of the

Colosseum—cannot help but feel the rise and fall of this space, and they experience the

fact that the human advancement can do nothing about overcoming the elapse of time.

Meanwhile, this seems to remind us of further considering that such great architecture

cannot help but suffer the dilapidation of time, not to mention the fragile mankind.

Moreover, archaeologists have long been excavating the traces of civilization from the

ancient relics. If they can understand the reality of society and human development in the

past, whether can we, through the means of observing the future, offer the public a chance

of reviewing the present. Hence, the present creative work and study attempts, first, to

analyze the elements and factors that constitute the ruins through literature review. Also,

through the means of image synthesis, the work can encompass a future ruin synthesized

by the Taiwanese historical landmark and landscape of people’s collective memory in an

attempt to pull the timeline into the future and then allow the mass people to watch the

scene of ruins of the current buildings. The use of augmented reality permits the

spectacles to feel the atmosphere from the series of the present work as if they were in

the scene. The researcher wishes to make the people consider the linkage among space,

nature, and memory, along with the elapse of time, in order to offer the public a chance

to review the present.
