Event Content
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus (1919-2019) and also marks the first anniversary of the death of Mr. Wang Dai. Three architects influenced by the Bao Haus in Taiwan, Wang Daei, Chen Chiquan and Zhang Zhaokang, each contributed in different ways to the development of modern architecture in Taiwan after the war. Even though time has passed, the ancients return today to take a closer look at the works they left behind, and the cultural depth of their work still amazes us. For this centenary, it is necessary to reflect on what cultural assets the ancients have left us behind. This series of four lectures is the beginning of what we intend to reflect deeply on. The topic of the lecture is “Theme 2: Taiwan Architecture and Baohous-Wang Daishi Exploring Traditions in the Minimalist Forbidden Desire of the Mies”.
