It must be regretted that the Japanese erroneously equated things Western with things modern, and borrowed heavily from the Western architectural vocabulary without regard for the origins of the styles. Still, comparing their works to the buildings of the Po Ai district designed after the end of the occupation era, the opinion of Wang Chen-hua rings true: "We still have much to learn!"
他們雖然也誤把西化和現代化畫上等號，大量移植西方建築語法而不論其原有的文化意涵，但比較起區內台灣光復以後興建的建築，誠如王鎮華所言，「我們要學習的還很多！」
