The Architect Who Redefined Taipei: Wang Da-hong’s Story ǀ Deep Current | EP5 (5/8)

Taipei’s Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall and the National Palace Museum are among the city’s most striking landmarks. However, the history behind their development is a complex intersection of art and politics. In this episode of "Deep Current," explore the challenges, motivations, and inspirations of the architect behind some of Taipei’s most distinctive structures. Trained at Harvard and deeply influenced by the architectural style of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Wang Da-hong designed several of Taipei’s most traditionally inspired landmarks. However, his career was marked by struggles between the political and cultural traditions of his time and his modernist architectural vision. Through interviews with experts, family, and friends, gain a deeper appreciation for this remarkable architect who left a lasting impact on Taiwan’s visual landscape. In this episode, the "Deep Current" team interviews some of Wang Da-hong’s contemporaries and visually analyzes several of his key works. His true architectural style is most evident in his own home — an homage to Eastern aesthetics through the lens of Western architectural principles. Elements of this style also influenced his designs for the Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall and the National Palace Museum. However, as the team’s analysis reveals, his original visions were never fully realized. Take a journey into the mind and life of a visionary architect constrained by the attitudes of his era in this episode of "Deep Current."
