Two very different buildings are standing next to each other in Taipei, Taiwan.
The Grand Hotel which was built in the fifties to recall the grandeur of the historical Chinese palaces and
Taipei Fine Art Museum which was built at the beginning of the eighties. This Museum has extraordinary dynamic floor plans and elevations. Like a sculpture it looks completely different when seen by different points of view and its scheme is so modern that recalls some of the recent project of OMA ( Vitra Art House) and those of few others contemporary architects. I particularly like the position of the windows located at the end of the "tunnels" only.
