LIH PAO SCULPTURE BIENNIAL AWARD – TAIPEI (TAIWAN)
Benedetto Camerana was invited to serve as a member of the international jury for the new edition of the Lih Pao Sculpture Biennial Award, one of Taiwan’s most important competitions for artistic installations, promoted by the Lih Pao Cultural Arts Foundation and dedicated to emerging young artists.
The Foundation is an expression of the LIH PAO GROUP, a major real estate player and a leading force in Taiwan’s urban development. Guided by the claim “The Sower of Culture and Art”, the Foundation views architecture and art as cultural expressions capable of fostering social growth, integrating social responsibility, creative energy, and dialogue with the territory.
The Award aligns with this mission, with the aim of stimulating the next generation of artists, supporting Taiwan’s cultural vitality, and encouraging the exploration of new expressive forms.
The winning work of this edition, created by Hongo Yoshiya, explores the theme of the zen garden, offering a poetic reflection on the relationship between architecture, nature, and sculptural art. A composition that intertwines spatial balance, materiality, and contemplation—topics that Benedetto Camerana Studio has consistently pursued in its architectural practice since 1997.
