“Taiwan’s Post-War Classic Hand-Drawed Construction Drawings Architecture Exhibition” was curated by Xu Mingsong, Shao Wenzheng, and Huang Weiting. The curatorial team expressed that due to the rupture of the times, the younger generation of architectural students ignored the rigor and delicacy of the construction production process, resulting in young students being unwilling to practice the real skill of drawing detailed design and construction drawings. However, in the older generation of Taiwanese architects or foreign architects who left works in Taiwan in their early years, this emphasis on the texture of things can still be seen through the delicate drawing production. These include the Memorial Hall of the Father of the Nation by Taiwan’s older generation architects such as Wang Dahong, the Lusiyi Church of Tunghai University by I.M. Pei, Chen Qikuan, and Zhang Zhaokang, the Sanxin Jia Shang Lang Building by Chen Renhe, and the Muzha Guide Palace Lingxiao Palace by Lee Chongyao, etc. There are foreign architects who left works in Taiwan in their early years, such as Gottfried Böhm, Germany’s first Pritzker Architecture Prize winner, whose first overseas work was Jingliao Holy Cross Catholic Church, and Swiss architect Justus Dahinden’s Taitung Gongdong Polytechnic Cathedral Building, and Bali Sacred Heart Girls’ High School built by Japanese architect Kenzo Tange, Asia’s first Pritzker Architecture Prize winner.
