"Contemplation and modesty" have characterized contemporary architecture in Taiwan over the past decade. This approach involves a steadfast commitment to local traditions alongside a modern design philosophy. These architectural works are deeply rooted in their locality, making them challenging to replicate and not easily conveyed through traditional media. Consequently, on-site investigations and visits to design firms have become invaluable opportunities for learning.

The excursion of contemporary architecture in Taiwan encapsulates the insights of numerous scholars, including Shi Jian and Wang Junxiong. The journey spans 7 days, encompassing over 30 representative works, such as those by Han Pao-teh, Da-hong Wang, and Chen Qikuan. There are also opportunities to engage with Fieldoffice Architects and Banmu Tang Environmental Integration, gaining insights into the work and lifestyle of Taiwanese professionals. Through establishing a clear and comprehensive lineage, we restore the true and rich context.
