Hsu, Change- Chi
Mr. C.C. Hsu developed interest in a wide range of topics at an early age, including Greek mythology and appreciation of classical music.He continues to immerse himself in a variety of pursuits such as mountain hiking and photography,and draws endless inspiration from them.
Mr. Hsu has passionately devotes himself to the theories of medical architecture. He isaccomplished in examining changing demands and the evolving lexicon of general architecture from the view of holistic development.
He ponders new issues affecting medical architecture with different perspectives through philosophy, physiology and art, humanities, environmental ecology, life phenomena,technology and cultural theory. In addition, Mr. Hsu never stops exploring future development of design and planning of medical facilities. Mr. Hsu has accumulated exceptional experience from his research on medical architecture for the past thirty years.
He has established a clear theory on forms and functions of medical architecture and their dimensional aesthetics and style according to different needs and standards. The design and planning of medical architecture involves multi-facets, complicated routes, exterior expression, medical technology, medical ethics, and architectural art. Not only are the theories professional, they have survived controversy, unification and integration.
Only a talented architect who is passionate and determined could accomplish this mission, pursue the goal progressively and consistently resolve an artistic and scientific structure this immense, complicated and demanding. Mr. Hsu succeeds in these goals.
