Abstract
A conversation in Taiwan. Perhaps the single most revered architectural project in Taiwan is the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall. Its graceful, classical imagery and proportions have a validity of their own, as well as a certain lightness and purity of approach which also make the building, very much of this time. The same might be said of the creative output of the architect of the project, Wang Dahong, in general. He is an erudite and cosmopolitan practitioner of his calling, trained in a thorough and traditional manner no longer possible. Widely travelled, a graduate of the finest Oxbridge genre, and also of the grandest of the U.S. universities, Harvard, he is in addition a former diplomat. Wang Dahong is an adherent of timeless and powerful traditional heritage, a heritage which he nevertheless makes his own, with a skill and simplicity, the most enlightened of the contemporaneans might envy.
