What is especially commendable is that as he travels the globe he frequently turns his attention to the various obstacles facing the Taiwan architectural scene back home. For example, glass curtain wall buildings are still a staple of Taiwan architecture today. Chen Shih-liang does not mince words in his criticism: these structures represent a "willful" disregard by designers of common sense and practicality.
而難能可貴的是，當行走天涯，他亦時常回頭反省台灣建築所面臨的種種瓶頸，例如玻璃帷幕建築至今仍於台灣大行其道，陳世良就不假詞色地批評：這是設計者不顧合理性與實用性的「一廂情願」。
