Today, there are many internationally recognized female architects, such as Pritzker Architecture Prize recipients Kazuyo Sejima and Dame Zaha Mohammad Hadid; and Dutch architect, Francine Houben, who designed the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts (Weiwuying), Kaohsiung Main Station, the Kaohsiung Public Library, and the Tainan Municipal Library. However, the development of Tse-Lan Hsiu, Chiu-Hwa Wang and Hsiu-lian Wang in the 30s and 40s marks the first generation of female architects in Taiwan that still lacks a complete record in our architectural history.
WOMEN in Architecture Taiwan was established in May of 2018. The organization consists of 60 female architects across different disciplines who seek to expand their uniquely refined and diverse approach to spatial design while also working to record the herstory of female architects in Taiwan.
This episode is a tribute to Chiu-Hwa Wang (1st generation), Chung-Twan Kuo (2nd generation), Hsin-Ping Lin (3rd generation), and Jia-Hui Day (3rd generation). These female architects from each generation will provide us with a greater understanding of a persistence and architectural philosophy that is often invisible or placed outside mainstream architectural studies.
Peini Beatrice Hsieh, President of the International Association of Art Critics (AICA) Taiwan notes that “Female architects are distinct from male architects in that their specific approach to spatial design emphasizes horizontal expansion that favors nature, open spaces, and a connection to the earth that brings people closer together.”
【女性建築家的空間藝術】
當代國際上有許多知名女性建築師，像是獲得普立茲克建築獎的札哈．哈蒂、妹島和世，以及在台灣設計衛武營國家藝術文化中心、高雄車站、高雄圖書館、台南市立圖書館的荷蘭建築師法蘭馨． 侯班，但相對來講，台灣從第一代建築師修澤蘭、王秋華、王秀蓮到現在，歷經三、四代的發展，但在建築史上卻缺乏完整的記錄。
2018年5月， WOMEN in Architecture Taiwan 台灣女建築家學會成立，有60多位來自不同領域的女性建築家加入，除了推動記錄女建築家的歷史，也展現了他們對空間設計獨有的細膩與多樣性。
本集專題共拍攝了台灣第一代建築師王秋華、第二代環境設計建築家郭中端，以及第三代建築師林欣蘋與戴嘉惠。透過不同世代的女建築家，我們可以更宏觀的瞭解這些不被放在主流、不被看見的這一些努力與建築思維。
國際藝評人協會台灣分會理事長謝佩霓說，相對於男性，女性建築家的空間最特別的是，他們追求水平向度去談自然，開放、貼近土地，讓人和人的關係更緊密。
