Introduction
The “school” is not an architectural ivory tower or a castle in the air, but rather a catalyst for experimentation and creation, the pursuit of design methodologies and graphic representation, the mobilization of thought and action, the convergence of intellectual currents and critique, and the advancement of publishing and education. In an era when the “academic education” of architecture surged and forged deep connections with society, London’s Architectural Association (AA) School of Architecture and New York’s Cooper Union shaped an epoch-defining paradigm. Taiwan’s architecture schools, influenced by these models, have also opened a new chapter in architectural design education.
“Drawing Ambience(s)” features special guests Professor Cheng-De Tseng and Professor Nicholas Boyarsky—son of Alvin Boyarsky, former Director of the AA School of Architecture and featured in the exhibition Housing the Friendship. Together, they will revisit this creative journey and explore its contemporary resonance.
