Hsieh Ying-chun

Hsieh Ying-chun (謝英俊), (born 1954 in Nantou, Taiwan) is a Taiwanese architect and contractor.

In his socially engaged work Hsieh has been helping people rebuild their homes ever since the devastating earthquake in Taiwan 1999, when his reconstruction project for the Thao Tribe gained him international recognition. In more recent years, Hsieh has continued to help people build their own houses, from the remote villages of China to the sufferers of the South East Asian Tsunami. ^[1]

Hsieh represented Taiwan in the Venice Architecture Biennale 2006. ^[2]
