What happens when artists, rather than architects, tell the stories of buildings?
B FORMOSA brings together 11 emerging Taiwanese artists to reinterpret 16 projects by Bio-architecture Formosana through illustration. Moving beyond conventional architectural photography and drawings, the book captures the everyday life, imagination, and relationships between people, buildings, and their surroundings.
For over two decades, our architectural practice has taken us across Taiwan, deepening our understanding of the island’s landscapes, communities, and ecology. This book offers another way of seeing those places—and the role architecture plays within them.
The title carries two meanings: “Building Formosa,” building on this island, and “Be Formosa,” a vision for a more beautiful Taiwan.
Through art and architecture, B FORMOSA invites readers to rediscover the island from a different perspective.
