Kengo Kuma was selected as one of TIME Magazine's 2021 Top 100 Influential People.

Kengo Kuma is today's highly regarded Japanese architects. His works are spread all over the world. The most well-known work recently is the main venue of the Tokyo Olympics "New National Arena". The design style of Kengo Kuma's lecture exudes Japanese style and oriental Zen. He is good at using bamboo, paper, adobe, and other traditional materials that are regarded as fragile, coupled with the use of skills and technology to create a low-key hidden-in-nature architecture. He once said that "the existence of architecture comes from local partners," and advocated that architecture is a supporting role and the environment is the protagonist. Architecture should be able to speak for the land and respect nature. His architectural concept contains rich humanistic feelings, modest and elegant, and advocates the dialogue between man and nature.

Feng Chia University became familiar with masters because of the similarity of ideas. Kengo Kuma lectures personally to create Taiwan's first "negative architecture" campus building. The "Gongshan Building" will not only be a new building on the grounds of Fengjia New Campus but a field with profound educational implications. It will drive Taiwan’s new thinking on education and also represent Feng Chia University’s contribution to creating the country and society. Imagination and practice in the future. Looking forward to 2023 Feng Chia University's Gongshan Building will rewrite the history of Taiwan's campus architecture, and I also look forward to the appearance of more innovative and influential works by the master in the future.
