MuYe-Culture
Company Introduction
MuYe-Culture Co., Ltd. was founded by Hsu Yi-Hung
in April 2015. It aspires to open a new architectural landscape and to promote Taiwanese traditional culture
through publications of books, maps
and other
creative cultural products. So far, in addition to the “Illustrated Handbook” series on
Taiwanese architectural sketches, we
have created a new “Cultural Map” series in both
Chinese and Japanese versions.The Illustrated Handbook: Taipei City in Qing
Dynasty was nominated for the 36th Golden
Tripod Awards. Unearthing the historical depth with visual perceptions, the hope is
to introduce the profound in simple terms and to bring our readers a different
perspective on daily surroundings.
Founder’s Profile
Hsu Yi-Hung
Born in 1977 in Taipei, Hsu is a researcher on
architectural history, with a particular interest in Taiwanese and Chinese
history of architecture. As the winner of “The Contribution Award on Local
Cultural Promotion” in 2015 (selected by Shopping Design
“2015 Taiwan Design Best 100”), Hsu has dedicated himself to popularizing the culture
of historical buildings in Taiwan through the expertise in photography and architectural
sketches in recent years. He became enamored of the
investigation on ancient architectures since college, and this passion has been going on for almost two decades. Based on this academic background, he has
been immersed in the world of hand-painted architectures. From 2010 to 2013,
he punished his signature works, the
“Illustrated
Handbook”
series on Lungshan Temple of Manka, Taipei City in Qing Dynasty, and Taipei City in the Japanese Colonial Period,
introducing the features of Taiwanese architecture by vivid sketches. In 2015, Hsu
started working on the project of “Cultural Map” series, which guides readers to shuttle between heritage
sites with freehand maps. So far, three cultural maps—Manka, Dadaocheng, and Taipei City—have
been made out of solid historical research, successfully reproducing the image of old
streets in Taiwan during the Japanese colonial era. Without a doubt, the
“Cultural Map” series has become the significant
reference for “slow” tourism and local education.
