Myst co-creator Robyn Miller pointed me to this photo of a "crumbling Taiwanese retro-fantasy-space-apartment-thing." It's no wonder the hauntingly beautiful photo appeals to him —— it looks like a screen shot of some long lost version of Myst!
As best as I've been able to uncover, this abandoned structure was built as a hotel-spa… a place for vacationing Taiwanese to escape from the rat race of Taipei! One could relax in one of its two delightfully large pools or simply lay back in plush comfort, gazing out a picture window at an endless sea!
