This issue features the architecture of Taiwan, an island-state in East Asia largely covered with steep, rugged mountain ranges and densely populated along its perimeter. a+u approached the making of this issue through first-hand experience: traversing the island and making friends with local people. Through casual conversations and during countless meals and driving trips, we began to understand the country’s contemporary architecture culture— often characterized by a strong comradeship between authorities, academics, developers, building professionals, and citizens.

Over the past quarter of a century, architecture in Taiwan has morphed from a field exclusive to professionals to one that is relatable to, and enjoyed by, a larger public. Amid a rapidly changing political and socioeconomic climate, the country has seen the development of innovative public works and complex mixed-use projects. We have selected work that we feel is sensitively borne out of these conditions, with respect to Taiwan’s environment, culture, and history.
