台湾岛的建筑正在蓬勃发展。最近在该地区举行的一些引人注目的竞赛导致了几个主要委员会的参与，这些委员会涉及到许多知名的国际建筑师的工作。结果是什么呢？一波新的，建筑风格激励的公共和私人建筑开始在岛上形成。

基础设施项目（如港口码头）是该岛发展的关键，但许多台湾最著名的建筑工地都是为了文化或休闲计划。其中之一是期待已久的台北表演艺术中心由OMA -今年获得了墙纸*设计奖的最佳建筑工地-和创新的台中大都会歌剧院由2013普利茨克奖得主日本建筑师伊东丰雄（也赢得了我们最好的建筑坐下）。2014年度E奖。

当地住宅也得到了提振，国际知名企业如活力四射的丹麦大公司和美国建筑重量级人物理查德·梅尔(Richard Meier)提出了一些理念，旨在平衡这座东亚岛屿独特的本土特质-比如传统建筑、热带和亚热带气候条件以及自然景观-以当代的方式，以及不断增长的台湾城市特色。

同时，日本建筑师苏藤本已被设为向该岛提供一个崭新的地标；
台湾塔的钢体将包括一个引人注目的300米高的浮花园和一个观景台，邀请当地人和游客去探索超越的城市景观。
