Abstract

The development of standards in architectural education and incorporation of local resources, relevant to Taiwanese needs, realities, and culture, are discussed. The Taiwanese educational model for architecture has evolved from apprenticeship systems into a studio-based tutorial environment. Architectural education in Taiwan can contribute in important ways to social change and help lead the larger society in new directions. The education of professional architects has played a major role in Taiwan's modernization and reconstruction. The professional education programs should continue to promote democracy and political stability, help in economic development, and create opportunities for social interchange leading to cultural renewal and progress.
