The I.M. Pei-designed chapel dates back to 1962, and was completed with the help of artist C.K. Chen in 1963. Combining the functionality of modern design with the traditional swooping lines of older Chinese architecture, the building was meant to be made from wood, but ended up being constructed using in situ cast concrete. "A Getty grant will be used to create a comprehensive conservation plan for the chapel, the first ever for a modern movement building in Taiwan." (Grant: Tunghai University, $175,000)
