國立臺灣師範大學美術系成立於1947年8月，為臺灣第一所大專院校成立的美術相關科系，匯聚自中國與留學日本返臺的名師，推動臺灣基礎美育，培育出多面向創作思維的藝術家，繼而影響臺灣藝壇動向。而臺師大設立於現今的古亭，清朝舊名為「鼓亭莊」，是瑠公圳的重要樞紐，過去滋潤的是大地的農產；臺師大在此地建校後，變成教育的源泉，源源不絕的將智慧向四處傳播、蔓延開來。


「引藝領潮——1947・鼓亭莊聯展」透過曾就學及授教於臺師大美術系、現今為藝術界中各領域翹楚的部分作品，策畫面向公眾的展覽；透過教育單位或館舍的典藏，具體而微的組構出這塊土地上饒具特色的藝文歷史脈絡。

An architecture of triangles, three stories, and triple semantic connotations of “the environment, culture, and humanity”. It is the very first art museum on campus in the world by the Pritzker Architecture Prize winner and architect Tadao Ando – Asia University Museum of Modern Art.

Throughout the interior and exterior of the art museum, techniques of misplacement, displacement, and overlaying of the building volume are employed to reconstruct the three faces of the three triangles as a geometrical shape and create a form of space flowing. From the designing to the detailed adjustment, it took a total of 6.5 years to complete the construction. 

Architect Tadao Ando introduces three unique concepts of architecture, ushering in a revolutionary content in accordance with the rhythm of space composition for artworks that formerly viewed as still objects. Amidst the interplay of light and shadow that is natural, free, and liberal, Asia University Museum of Modern Art embodies the harmonious symphony of architecture and art, orchestrating a novel exhibition experience for the visitors to the art museum.
