    "description_zh_hant": "西門紅樓於1908年由日本建築師近藤十郎所建造，由八角樓與十字樓組成，是臺灣第一座官方興建的公營市場，亦是今天全臺所保存最古老完整的直轄市定古蹟建築物。其中八角樓的「八卦造型」取其八方雲集之意作為入口、十字樓的「十字架造型」作為主體的特色，另外加上緊鄰兩旁的南北廣場統稱為「西門紅樓」。西門紅樓歷經市場、書場、電影院、劇場的角色變換，自2007年起，臺北市政府文化局委由台北市文化基金會營運管理，以文創平台推廣形式，欲達成振興西門町街區發展目標，歷經10餘年經營，已逐步累積文創能量，形塑成現今臺北市甚至是臺灣指標性的文創及藝文據點。八角樓一樓為綜合展覽與餐飲、賣場，內部空間規劃了品茶休憩的「紅樓茶坊」、搜羅臺灣風格好物的「紅樓選品」；二樓為古樸別緻的專業表演場地「二樓劇場」。十字樓則為推動小型文創產業發展的「河岸留言西門紅樓展演館」與展售空間「16工房」。另南北廣場有多元文化體驗活動，除固定館所導覽、創意講談、手作工作坊之外，每個週末還有創意市集及於中央展區不定期展覽等活動。",

    "description_en": "The Red House was built in 1908 by the Japanese architect Kondo Juro. Made up of the Octagon Building and the Cruciform Building, it was Taiwan's first public market built by the government, and it is the oldest intact building among Taiwan's municipal-level monuments. The octagonal building, whose bagua (eight trigrams) shape stands for people gathering from all directions, forms the entrance, and the cross-shaped building forms the main body. Together with the adjoining north and south plazas, they make up the Red House. The building has served as a market, a storytelling hall, a cinema and a theatre. In 2007 the Taipei City Department of Cultural Affairs entrusted its management to the Taipei Culture Foundation, which runs it as a platform for the creative industries with the aim of reviving the Ximending area. The ground floor of the Octagon Building has exhibitions, food and shops, including the Red House Tea House and Red House Select, which sells Taiwanese-style goods. Upstairs is the Second Floor Theatre, a professional performance venue. The Cruciform Building houses the Riverside Live House and the 16 Workshop retail and display space, which support small creative businesses. The north and south plazas host cultural activities, including guided tours, creative talks and craft workshops, a creative market and occasional exhibitions in the central exhibition area.",

    "description_ja": "西門紅楼は1908年、日本の建築家、近藤十郎によって建てられました。八角楼と十字楼からなり、台湾で初めて官が建てた公営市場で、台湾の直轄市の指定古跡の中で最も古く、完全な形で残る建物です。八角楼は、八方から人が集まるという意味を込めた八卦の形で、入口になっています。十字形の十字楼が本体です。両側に隣接する南北の広場と合わせて「西門紅楼」と呼ばれます。建物は市場、講談の場、映画館、劇場と役割を変えてきました。2007年、台北市政府文化局は運営管理を台北市文化基金会に委託しました。基金会はクリエイティブ産業の場として運営し、西門町の地域の活性化を目指しています。八角楼の1階には展示、飲食、売り場があり、お茶を飲んで休める「紅楼茶坊」や、台湾らしい品を集めた「紅楼選品」があります。2階は専門的な公演会場「二楼劇場」です。十字楼には、小規模なクリエイティブ産業を支える「河岸留言西門紅楼展演館」と、展示販売スペース「16工房」があります。南北の広場では文化体験の催しがあり、館内ガイド、クリエイティブトーク、手作りのワークショップ、クリエイティブマーケット、中央展示エリアでの不定期の展示などが行われています。",
