They shared that beyond the structured courses, the Academy's "Field Trips" broadened their horizons, enhanced their observational skills, expanded their vision, and stirred their souls. The following was an article written for the "Architect Website" back then. While not always at the forefront like the piece "Private School. Private Tutelage," this article consistently ranked within the top 20 in popularity. In 2009, the "catalyst" I prescribed for designers, site planners, and those diligently studying for exams was: 1. At least every other week, invite your spouse (or girlfriend if unmarried) and children to visit urban and rural landmarks such as the 13th Museum of Archaeology in Bali, Yilan Station, Shengxing Station, Fuxing Barn in Changhua, Wanggong Bridge, Yongle Grassland Academy, Taomi Community in Nantou, Heart of Hsinchu, Love River in Kaohsiung, Kenting Main Street, Zhaori Hot Springs on Green Island, Lintianshan in Hualien, Pine Garden… and be sure to find a pleasant spot for tea or coffee and do a quick sketch or two. 2. Before exams, take your spouse and children on a trip to explore Japanese cities and countryside. If budget is a concern, Southeast Asia would be more economical. Stay in a GRAND HOTEL in the city and a RESORT by the sea. Design and site planning are environmental subjects. Engage and learn openly from the environment! You'll discover how enjoyable design and site planning can be! And I believe your wives will also find that being the wife of a prospective architect is a joyous and hopeful experience. These chronicles document the echoes from those "Field Trip" students. Tadao Ando, in his book "Wandering in the City," begins the first chapter, "Tsu-hsun, Asian Water, Human Flavors," with: Travel shapes people. Travel also shapes architects. I believe these field trip records can also help you become an architect! [NO.01] Taitung: Duoliang Village, Taimali.
