Indirectly, it also re-organizes the relationships and the frameworks of society. The virtual system not only breaks the limit of time and space, but also sprawls out itself from virtual world to reality by computer technologies. Today, the environmental analyses of urban context are no longer the only consideration of urban design for the architecture profession. Therefore, this research attempts to discuss through the observations of “emergences” and the designs of “curations” of the city to look for different strategies from urban design to change the city. As well as it discovers the collective consciousness that did not mention in urban design before through actions. In comparison with urban design, curation in the city is a more soft and resilient way to get involved with the city. To consider the role of the curator has an architecture background, the curation will be emphasized more on the public feedbacks than the performance of artworks. The research contains two steps as “design” and “action”. The designs base on the microscopic observations of the city, and develop into seven different theme stages by applying the existent phenomena of emergences in the city. Then, two of the topics are selected to practice by art actions. In the actions of curation, the interactions and the feedbacks of the public are also summarized. In order to look forward the directions and the potential of this research, the results of action are discussed. The viewpoints of curation in the city are from the emergence theory that discussed in complex science in recent years. This research tries to discard the stereotype of urban analysis from architectural discipline, and starts to search the curative topics from the phenomena of city by microscopic observations. Emergences happen and are discovered everywhere in the natural and human environments. This research generalizes the logics and the phenomena of emergence in the beginning, and the discussion of emergences of city are contrasted with real examples. After speculating the causes and effects by emergences of the city, the city curation interprets these emergences and develops proper actions for related topics. Urban design has its limits and burdens for serious and long. The attitudes of the public are always stagnant and hesitant because of benefits and conflicts. Temporarily, this research tries to escape from the familiar design modes of urban development by the architectural profession, and discusses the possibilities of urban-redevelopment by the experimental activities of curation. The processes of this research help to learn to be the role of a participant but not a leader, and to keep wider attitudes to accept the uncertain feedback from the public. This research anticipates revealing the different faces of the city and the possibilities of urban re-development. The formal ideas of architectural profession to the city could be re-considered, and the attitudes and directions of urban design also could be adjusted.
