Event Content
The final lecture of the series, “Modern Meaning: Traditional, Chinese and Indigenous”, invited two exhibitors and special guests of this exhibition to discuss: Wu Yiu Ting, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Architectural Design at the University of Practice, Yu-ping, artist Guo Yu-ping, and Professor of Social Anthropology Huang.
Wu Yiu Ting discusses the development and transformation of Taiwanese architecture from the perspective of architectural history through models, photography and writing in collaboration with students in the exhibition. Inspired by the furniture of Zhongxing New Village, artist Guo Yu-ping's exhibition, Delays and Hollows, tells the history and story of Nantou Zhongxing New Village. These works bring a different perspective to the exhibition, allowing the audience to feel the interweaving of architecture and living culture. As an exhibitor, Professor Wong looks back at the meaning and relationship between architecture and life from the point of view of sociology and anthropology. Through her perspective, viewers are expected to understand more fully how architecture reflects and influences social culture.
