Profile

Ho Chen Tsu is a native of Hengyang County, Hunan Province. He was enrolled into the Foreign Languages Department, Amoy University in 1940. He transferred to the Foreign Languages Department, Zhongshan University in 1941 and transferred to the Architecture and Engineering Department in 1942. After graduating from the university, he worked in the Changsha Municipal Government, and later served as an engineering officer in the 10th Supply Brigade of the Air Force. [2]He came to Taiwan with the Air Force in 1948. In 1955, he taught at Taiwan Provincial Institute of Technology (now National Cheng Kung University). In 1967, he had a study tour in the United Kingdom and the United States for nearly one year when he studied the history of modern European architecture and the education of university architecture departments in both countries. [3]After retiring in 1979, he taught at Tunghai University. He died in 1994.[4]

Architectural style

Mr. Ho Chen received the architectural education of Beaux-Arts at Zhongshan University in Guangzhou,[5] and later he developed a keen interest in modernist architecture and formed his unique viewpoints. [4]Beaux-Arts, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and traditional Chinese architecture had significant influence on the style of his works, which have integrated the regional features of Taiwan. His eclectic architectural style is as simple and clear as modern architecture. Meanwhile the solemnity and simplicity of traditional architecture have remained.[6]
