Hsieh Ying-chun (Chinese: 謝英俊; pinyin: Xiè Yīngjùn; born 1954 in Taichung County, Taiwan) is a Taiwanese architect and contractor.
Hsieh organized the reconstruction of housing and communities in disaster-struck areas while faced with two challenges: to build houses within an extremely tight budget (25%-50% of the market price) and to base the projects on the notion of sustainable construction, green building, cultural preservation and creation of local employment opportunities.
Hsieh has played a key role in rebuilding communities for Taiwan's Indigenous peoples.
[1] In more recent years, Hsieh has continued to help people build their own houses, from the remote villages of China to the sufferers of the South East Asian Tsunami.
operates an independent architectural research centre Ruin Academy as their headquarters in Taipei.
