From 1985 to 1995 the NT dollar rapidly appreciated, and there was a major influx of capital. With the stock and real estate markets soaring, there was a building boom in Taiwan. Many new hospitals, universities, museums, and other large projects were constructed. Furthermore, almost all the facilities that would be needed over the next few decades were completed at the same time.
八五到九五年，台幣升值，熱錢湧入，股市房市一飛沖天，堪稱台灣建物大暴發時期，許多新建設的醫院、國立大學、國立博物館都趨向擴大規模，且將幾十年內所需的所有功能、設施一次興建完成而不留餘地。
