2025-08-11
In Taiwan’s contemporary architecture, timber is more than just a building material—it is a medium that carries emotion and memory. With the rise of sustainability awareness, architects have re-embraced timber construction, blending natural materials with modern craftsmanship to create spaces of warmth and human connection.
This feature explores three representative timber projects: the Wanta Power Plant Office, built with a vision of reuse; the Taipei Public Library Beitou Branch, nestled in lush urban greenery; and Chishang Station in the East Rift Valley, which integrates local culture into its design. Together, they reveal how timber architecture continues to shape Taiwan’s urban and rural landscapes.
