On March 24, the Black Swan Exhibition Hall, Tamsui Campus, was home to the “4WD Final Matchup”, which featured 30 remote control mini-4WDs. Organized by the Department of Architecture, the event provided a platform for students to relive their childhood by racing miniature race cars on a winding track constructed by architecture students.

The idea for the competition was born during a casual conversation between a group of students reminiscing about their childhood. “Architecture students come up with a lot of crazy ideas. But most of the ideas never even reach paper”, Li Cheng-wei, one of the organizers, noted. This time, however, their idea was transformed into reality. “We wanted to prove that our idea was more than just empty words”.

Their idea was well-received, with a large number of like-minded enthusiasts taking part. Fourth year student, Sung Di-yan, who participated in the competition, exclaimed: for us students born in the 90s, these mini-4WDs are a part of our collective memory!”
