NCKU’s latest exhibition showcases school works of world-renowned architects
Tainan, Taiwan, 20 Feb 2012
An exhibition launched on 15 Feb at Art Center of National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), southern Taiwan features over 200 school works by prominent NCKU alumni of architecture from 1944 to 1963 tells the development of Taiwan architecture education.
Since the Department of Architecture, NCKU was the first of its kind established in Taiwan in 1944, and it remained the only one that conferred the baccalaureate until 1963, “this collection of works reveals the ideals of the young architects and gives an insight into the architectural thoughts in Taiwan at those times,” noted Chao-Ching Fu, professor of architecture, NCKU and the chief organizer of the exhibition.
The school works by now renowned architects such as G. Y. Lee, Erh-Pang Kou, Mai Chen, Pao-the Han, Ran-Chi Wu offer visitors a unique opportunity to witness the potentials and enthusiasm of these young architects.
For example, “Apartment Design” by G. Y. Lee, his student blueprint in around 1961, delicately shows an H-shape well-lighted and well-vented residential space.
The 2,200 school works collected and filed by the department of architecture serve as invaluable teaching resources and with the blueprint archives there will be more exhibitions to come in the near future.
The exhibition, titled “Taiwan Architect Pioneers’ Fledging age, 1944-1963” will run until March 14 at Art Center, NCKU in Tainan.
