Taiwan: An open letter to Japanese architect Tadao Ando · Global Voices
Portnoy Zheng

Architect and blogger Sun De-hong(孫德鴻), in his open letter, asks Tadao Ando, the famous Japanese architect “What is social responsibility?“(zht). Sun questions Tadao Ando–who always talks about “architects’ social responsibility” in speeches–whether it is socially responsible to build his new “Church of Earth” on the precious and diminishing farmland in Aodi(澳底) located in the north-eastern coastal area of Taiwan. Sun will translate his letter into Japanese and send to Tadao Ando.
