In 2019, the 100th anniversary of founding the Bauhaus is being celebrated in Germany and throughout the world. To mark this occasion, a one-day forum is held at National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU), Taipei. Organizer is the Graduate Institute of Art History of NTNU in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut Taipei and DAAD Taiwan.

The conference has the objective to highlight the international impact of the Bauhaus, and in particular on Taiwanese architecture during the decades after 1945. Proven experts from various countries—among which Taiwan, Germany, and Japan—will be discussing their latest research results on the topic. After the talks, speakers will join a round-table discussion about the present situation of post-war architecture in Taiwan.

The conference will be open for specialists, students, and the general public.
