SUMMARY:Possessing the Recent Past: Renewing the National Palace Museum of the Republic of China
DESCRIPTION:RSVP by April 10\, 2026. One RSVP per person. \nThe National Palace Museum houses more than 650\,000 artifacts across Chinese history. More than a repository of cultural treasures\, the Museum reflects the complex political and cultural conditions of Taiwan. As the Museum embarks on its latest expansion\, the project must address questions that extend beyond museology to issues of history\, identity\, and public meaning. This presentation examines the Museum’s historical trajectory within Taiwan’s evolving context and considers how the past informs the architectural design of its renewal. \nMichael Fei is an architect based in Taipei\, Taiwan. He earned his A.B. from Princeton University in 1994 and his M.Arch. from Columbia University in 1997. After dedicating 11 years to architectural endeavors in New York City\, he returned to Taipei to assume the position of Vice President at Fei & Cheng Associates. Under his leadership\, the firm has spearheaded notable projects\, including work for the National Palace Museum and Taoyuan Airport Terminal 3. \n\nThis project is supported by a David A. Gardner ’69 Magic Grant from the Humanities Council\, the Department and the Program in East Asian Studies\, and the Tang Center for East Asian Art
