About Former Academia Sinica Buildings
Three buildings of the Academia Sinica, the Republic of China's national research academy, all designed by Yang Tingbao in a Chinese palace style: the Institute of Geology of 1931, where Li Siguang led research from 1932 to 1937, the Institute of History and Philology of 1936, and the headquarters of 1947, where the academy elected its first academicians in 1948. They stand just south of Jiming Temple in the compound of the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Nanjing branch.
