Apart from historic sites with storied histories and representative value, there are many old buildings that, through the application of a little creativity, can become a part of people's lives and continue to be vital places that can even stimulate area development. A good example is the Red House Theater, located in the Hsimen area of Taipei.
除了歷史悠久、具有代表性的古蹟外，許多閒置空間則在加入新的創意後，反而可以使老建築和今人的生活合而為一，延續新的生命，甚至帶動地方的發展，位於西門町的紅樓戲院就是一個好例子。
