Timeline

1917

Wang Da-hong (6 July 1917 – 28 May 2018) was a Chinese-born Taiwanese architect.

Regarded as one of the pioneers of modernist architecture in Taiwan, his architectural philosophy, whilst very modern in its application, was informed by both the traditional Chinese garden and the Siheyuan – a historical type of family residence which comprises several dwellings around a courtyard.

Wang was born in Beijing, but grew up in Shanghai and Suzhou.

His father was Wang Ch'ung-hui, a prominent Chinese jurist, diplomat and politician.

1930

During the early 1930s, he went to school in Switzerland.

1936

In 1936, he started studying engineering at Cambridge University, before switching to architecture.

1940

In 1940, he enrolled at Harvard University, where he was taught by Walter Gropius.

There, Wang was briefly a classmate of Huang Zuo-shen (aka Henry Huang), who would later become known as the founding director of The School of Architecture at Tongji University.

Wang was also a classmate of both IM Pei and Philip Johnson.

1947

Returning to Shanghai in 1947, he met up again with Huang Zuo-shen, and they both started working as part of the Five United, a disparate group of Chinese architects who had mostly studied at British universities.

1953

Shyu Ming-song, secretary general of the society, says that Wang's single-story house (c.1953) on Jianguo South Road in Taipei “...was perhaps the first Western-style work with Chinese features to garner high acclaim in Taiwan”.

Wang was also a fiction writer, with two novels published.

1960

In the early 1960s, Wang won the competition to design the National Palace Museum, however his modernist design was ultimately rejected in favour of a more traditional approach by Huang Baoyu.

2013

The Society for Research and Preservation of Wang Da-hong’s Architecture was founded in December 2013.

2014

In February 2014, he was awarded Taiwan's National Cultural Award.

His notable works include the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building in Taipei.
