<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This lecture focuses on how architectural styles served as a political tool during Chiang Kai-shek’s authoritarian rule in post-war Taiwan (1945–1975). It examines their key role in constructing state ideology and the
spatial practice of power. Tsai’s research indicates that the authoritarian government translated political will into concrete architectural forms through a specific ‘visual rhetoric’, thereby shaping public collective memory and cultural identity. Through
an examination of iconic landmarks such as Chung-shan Hall, the National Palace Museum, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, and Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, the lecture demonstrates how the authoritarian regime employed a visual rhetoric of 're-Sinicization' to reconstruct
the legitimacy of Chinese orthodoxy on Taiwanese soil, effectively erasing the ‘remnants of the colonial landscapes’ from the Japanese era. Beyond the archaic appearance, this architectural language is not merely an aesthetic choice, but a profound political
manifesto.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
