Octagonal Tower
Shihsanhang Museum of Archaeology was designed by architect Te-hung Sun. The main design inspiration was archaeological excavation and the fact that our ancestors crossed the sea and reached the coast at Bali by canoe. Composed of the images of mountain, sea, past and future, the structure is made from exposed concrete, sandstone and aged metal plates.
