Hengshan Calligraphy Art Center

Hengshan Calligraphy Art Center, Calligraphy museum in Dayuan District, Taoyuan, Taiwan

Hengshan Calligraphy Art Center is a branch of the Taoyuan Museum of Fine Arts in Dayuan District, Taoyuan. The two-story building, designed by architect Tianyi Pan, has about 2,991 square meters of floor area. Its exterior is composed of five square boxes arranged left to right, evoking five seal impressions. The surrounding park is conceived as an inkstone and the adjacent pond as an inkwell.

Construction began in September 2017, and the center started trial operations on 22 October 2021 as a branch of the Taoyuan Museum of Fine Arts. It was built as Taiwan's first publicly operated museum devoted to calligraphy, on a site in Hengshan Calligraphy Art Park near Linghang metro station.

The center's name comes from Hengshan, the old local place name of the Dayuan site, and its stated mission is to preserve, research, develop and promote calligraphy in Taiwan. It aims to build a foundation for calligraphy research and education, shape a local arts character and foster international exchange in the art.

The center sits inside Hengshan Calligraphy Art Park in Dayuan District, beside Linghang Station on the Taoyuan Airport MRT line, so it is reached by rail rather than by car. The building has one basement level and two floors above ground across roughly 2,991 square metres. The pond next to it, Pool No. 5-8 of the Taoyuan Canal, is the water body the design treats as an inkwell.

The park itself is conceived as the inkstone and the adjacent pond, Taoyuan Canal Pool No. 5-8, as the inkwell, so the landscape completes the calligraphy imagery. The building's five square volumes read from left to right like five seal impressions. The design won the 2018 National Excellence in Construction Award, gold in the best planning and design category.
