However, it had been attacked by Japanese architects including Toyo Ito, Kengo Kuma, and Sou Fujimoto, who claimed that project will be "too huge" in relation to the surroundings and too expensive. Therefore, Zaha Hadid Architects has confirmed to adapt its design and use more eco-efficient and visually lighter materials (Kin, 2014). This project demonstrates how local architect responds to the globalization, in fact, this situation termed “glocalization” has became the growing trend. Globalization today is not only the unilateral process but also builds up the closely relationship among the global village. Before implement the construction project, the architectural firms or designers have to cautiously evaluate the regional background from history, political, economic to urban context. In particular, a space or building emphasizes the relation to its environment. In recent years, there have some large international construction projects in Taiwan, such as Taipei Pop Music Center and Taiwan Tower were designed by the famous foreign architects. Although they are experienced designers, the projects have to consult with local architecture and adopt several times before the engineering process. This phenomenon obviously indicates the shift of the character between international and
