The 2026 Taoyuan Artisan Archi Award (3A Award) ceremony was held to recognize excellence in urban architecture and public construction in Taoyuan. Organized by the Taoyuan Real Estate and Building Development Commercial Association under the guidance of the Taoyuan City Government, the awards evaluated 41 entries across five categories: non-residential public construction, residential public construction, high-rise residential, low-rise residential, and detached villas.

In the non-residential public construction category, winners included the Taoyuan Exhibition Center turnkey project and the new construction of the cremation facility and parking lot for the Zhongli District Funeral Service Center. The residential public construction category highlighted social housing projects such as Yangmei No. 1, Pingzhen No. 1, Bade No. 3, Luzhu No. 1, and Zhonglu No. 4, as well as urban renewal projects.

The high-rise residential category saw the highest number of winners with 26 projects recognized. Taoyuan Mayor Chang Shan-cheng emphasized that urban construction results should ultimately improve the quality of life for citizens through convenient public facilities and comfortable housing. The awards aim to encourage professional teams to integrate design, sustainability, and community integration into the city's evolving skyline.
