The “Yingtsai Academy” has been designed to show the best features of the Minan architecture and the old academies around Taiwan. Yet it is not just a copy of historical architecture, but a re-creation and even innovation of it. For instance, its size and scale were built to fit its surroundings—this is a traditional architectural thought. Yet the academy’s spatial structure and its façade are just partially inspired by old-time architecture; modern concepts have been blended in to give a refreshing feel. The water pond, the bridge and the garden are an innovation of traditional literary landscape design. The academy now operates on a sustainable basis. It continues to introduce canonical literature through all kinds of events. Sometimes it holds arts, cultural and holistic events, too. This is a “historical building / historical site that truly breathes.”
