Huang Baoyu

Huang Baoyu (Chinese: 黃寶瑜; 1918–2000) was a Taiwanese artist, calligrapher and architect, known for designing the National Palace Museum in Taipei, Taiwan.

[1][2] His design for the museum was chosen after the original competition winner, Wang Da-hong, refused to modify his design to comply with the government's wishes.

[3] Huang specialised in the traditional Chinese palace style, and was the favourite architect of former leader, Chiang Kai-shek.

[4] Huang served as chairman of the architecture department of the Chung Yuan Christian College.

[6] Huang came to Taiwan from China in 1949, when he was appointed as a lecturer at the Provincial Institute of Technology.
