Mrs. Hsu Ze-Lan is one of the most important contemporary architects in Taiwan. She has made a lot of masterpieces such as The Chung Shan Hall on the Yang-Ming Mountain. Besides, she also designed many school campuses. In some way, she is one of the most important architects in the modernization process of Taiwanese architecture. However, there is no serious research about her and her works at all. This systematic exclusion might be gender blindness in architectural history in Taiwan. Nevertheless, it also indicates the truth that the process of Taiwanese Modernization was never problematic or highly ignored based on both the settling colonialism and cultural imperialism experience in Taiwan in a critical post-colonial reflection. In this research, to introduce the critical theories which include deconstructionism, feminism and post-colonial critiques, and through the case studies of three schools to reconstruct the material of Mrs. Hsu’s works are the first step to re-making Taiwan’s contemporary architectural discourse. Secondly, taking a critical regionalism to analysis Mrs. Hsu’s works, and try to make a more reflective dialogue between architectural history and critical theories. |
