WHY IT TOOK PLACE?

To meet the needs of theexpansion of the university

PERSONAL RESPON

I like it because:

They preserved the iconic partof the building for the most well-known function of this university(the Language Center). Theentrance ways yet leading to the

iconic part.

The new part of the building canblend well with the old one. Forexamples : the windows style &the materials

These different materials can

tell us that they have differentera.

In the Japanese Colonial Period,under new urban planning, Bo Pi LiaoStreet was displaced by the currentGuangZhou Street as the major passage,relegating the old passage to a backalley.
