n 2025, the Taipei Architectural Generation Association held the “Architectural Scholarship Achievement Presentation and Forum” at the Department of Architecture, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST).
Our department was honored to host this event, which served as a platform for dialogue between architectural education and the professional industry. The forum showcased an outstanding collection of graduation projects from students representing ten architecture departments across universities in Taiwan.
The Taipei Architectural Generation Association has long been committed to fostering cross-generational dialogue and knowledge transfer within the architectural profession. Beyond promoting industry-academia communication through emerging architect awards, special exhibitions, and forums, the Association also roots itself in education through its scholarship program, supporting and encouraging young students to continue exploring and practicing in the field of architecture.
This year’s Architectural Scholarship selection included graduating students from ten architecture departments: National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, National Cheng Kung University, National Taipei University of Technology, Tamkang University, Feng Chia University, Chinese Culture University, Tunghai University, Chung Yuan Christian University, Shih Chien University, and Ming Chuan University. Each school nominated one representative graduation project, which was reviewed by a selection committee formed by the Taipei Architectural Generation Association. Selected students received a scholarship award of NT$30,000 as an encouragement for their achievements.
At this forum, in addition to the president of the Taipei Architectural Generation Association and the selection committee members, department heads and faculty from the architecture programs of the ten participating universities were also invited. Through project presentations and sharing of design concepts, the event sparked in-depth educational dialogue and an exchange of design thinking.
We are honored to have hosted this event at the Department of Architecture, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology. This platform allowed us to witness the potential of the new generation of designers and continue fostering the connection between architectural education and professional practice.
