Located southwest of NTU’s Drunken Moon Lake, the Boya Lecture Building connects to the General Lecture Building via an elevated bridge, forming a cluster of teaching spaces.
The building features multiple entrances from various directions, offering spatial experiences with diverse scales and degrees of enclosure. With high visibility and fluid transitions between indoor, semi-outdoor, and outdoor areas, it provides students and faculty with gathering spaces beyond the typical ‘classroom’ and ‘hallway’.
Preserving the old trees on the east and the tree-lined green space on the southwest anchors the building’s main entrances on both ends while reinforcing a strong sense of place. A stepped terrace on the north serves as a public platform, offering all-day access for rest and scenic views.
The southern massing and architectural language reference the adjacent General Lecture Building and follow the core campus design guidelines of NTU, incorporating brick-red tiles, exposed aggregate, and fair-faced concrete finishes. The northern façade, facing the open space of Drunken Moon Lake, takes on a lighter expression with a more varied form that reflects the spatial diversity within.
