彰顯專業領先與傳承的突破與創新 / Min Sheng Daily
「突破與創新」做為第一屆遠東傑出建築設計獎的主題,準確的說這個獎是對台灣當前優秀建築師建築設計成就的一種肯定,但廣義的角度來說,做為台灣第一個由民間企業主辦的建築獎,其主題「突破與創新」含蓋了「建築專業經驗傳統」的承啟。換言之,建築的專業經驗如果可以成為一種傳統,其累積的結果將是一種「文化風格」的顯現,也當然是生活於此的人民一種生活態度與生活內容的「再現」。本屆遠東建築設計傑出獎,以正式獎項之外的「特別獎 」頒發給張昌華建築師與王大閎建築師,我認為應為植基於二位資深建築師在其建築設計作品中對過去五十餘年來的台灣傳統建築發展在建立台灣建築專業經驗傳統上有著不可磨滅的重要貢獻。
姚仁喜抱走首屆遠東建築師獎 / China Times
一如建築界的預期,第一屆遠東建築設計獎,由姚仁喜建築師錦上添花地掄元,獲得傑出獎與一百萬獎金。
至於佳作獎,亦由近年來的常勝軍,黃聲遠建築師以其位於宜蘭的作品順利摘下第二順位。評審團爭執比較大的是,第三順位的佳作獎得主,兩組三位資深建築師,王秋華/潘冀與吳明修,各有青睞者。但兩位外來的建築師認為,吳明修的作品較為成熟,故將另一佳作獎頒給他。佳作獎獲得五十萬元獎金。
姚仁喜獲「台灣建築獎」大獎 / China Times
由建築師雜誌社所舉辦的年度建築大獎選拔,今年易名為「一九九九台灣建築獎」日昨選出得獎名單,近年建築得獎常勝軍姚仁喜建築師,又以伽耶山基金會/台中養慧學苑獲得大獎,另一件作品台北大陸工程總部辦公大樓已獲佳作。另一位得獎者為宜蘭礁溪竹林養護院連續兩年得大獎,可說是建築界已呈強者愈強的型態。
簡單哲學的解讀 / Taiwan Architect Magazine
大陸工程總部辦公室是一件清新且令人驚喜的建築設計。相較於台灣近年來對於高層建築地強調光亮玻璃帷幕為主要操作手法的作風,這件作品明顯地想嘗試完全不 同的路線。簡潔俐落的玻璃量體懸吊於混凝土柱結構,簡單直接;包括玻璃、清水混凝土以及灰色的結構鋼架,所有材料的使用都呈現出一種在台灣的商業環境中極為少見的簡樸。

一次新鮮的經驗 / Taiwan Architect Magazine
參與了這屆雜誌獎評審對我來說,才比較有機會領略深入了解別人對建築的態度,比如說中研院資訊所,雜誌作品刊出的時候只是大略了解,這次為了評選這個案 子,花了比較多的精神,了解建築師的態度及意圖。而其它評審的觀點再交融之後的討論,都有助於異於平日自己處理設計案的經驗。而對於比較深入了解的案子, 我也扮演引領其它評審了解其設計意企圖、設計密度的角色,比如高雄紫竹林精舍,我就扮演這種角色。
