TNUA
President Prof. Chen Kai-Huang met with renowned Japanese architect Kazuyo
Sejima during his August visit to SANAA, the Tokyo-based architectural firm she
co-founded. The main purpose of Prof. Chen's three-day (August 8 to 10) visit
to Tokyo was to invite Ms. Sejima to take part in the making of a "Master
Plan" for the development of the TNUA campus. During their meeting, Prof.
Chen gave a presentation of his ideas about the "Master Plan," and
Ms. Sejima gladly made a promise to visit TNUA later to better understand how
the campus can be developed. Ms. Sejima jointly founded SANAA with another
Japanese architect Ryue Nishizawa in 1995. In 2004 SANAA's work won the Golden
Lion award of the Venice Biennale of Architecture, and in 2010 received the
Pritzker Prize.
