Our team is composed of interdisciplinary faculty, students, and international partners from Chung Yuan Christian University, bringing together expertise in architecture, design, and culture. We have long been engaged in research and practice centered on the water culture landscapes of Taoyuan's irrigation ponds and canal systems. Working through the core model of "one pond, one school, one community," the team connects residents, public agencies, and local organizations to collectively advance cultural preservation, environmental education, and sustainable urban-rural development. Through fieldwork and spatial observation, local knowledge is translated into picture books, guided tour materials, and digital educational resources, while teaching practice cultivates students' capacity for action and public engagement. Serving as a collaborative platform for local transformation, the initiative also fosters international exchange and cross-disciplinary cooperation, establishing a model of practice that is both locally rooted and globally oriented. The team's work has been recognized with the Grand Prize in the Local Inclusion category of the 2025 CommonWealth Magazine USR Award and the 2026 Global Views Magazine USR University Citizenship Award, establishing it as a significant case study in Taiwan's water culture preservation and sustainability education.
