Can you name these kites?	kite-making workshop kite competition by Gateway Kite Club	In a part of the world, Asia, where tradition still rules, Taiwanese kitemaker Buteo Huang is a brilliant exception.

Designs such as a flying 2m sailboat, an "air-swimming" sea-shell, or an Aborigine totem pole are just some of his creations. Huang makes some of the most improbable ideas literally fly. By Derek Lee, STAFF REPORTER, Sunday, Feb 04, 2001, Page 17, Taipei Times
More than ten indigenous tribes inhabit the coastal plains and the highlands of the island injecting their arts and legacies into the Han Chinese traditions to form the modern Taiwanese culture. Kite artist Buteo Huang is one of the "sons of Formosa" nurtured by this diversified, exuberant culture. He has been playing with kites and perfecting the craft of making them for three decades. Over the years, Huang has obtained a number of patents for his innovative designs, won several international prizes, and held many exhibits in prestigious museums at home and abroad. The exquisitely produced patterns and ingeniously designed structures characterizing Huang's creations reveal his artistic nature and innovative spirit, and display a delicate balance between art and science. This series of kites was inspired by Huang's interest in transforming the illustrative images of Taiwan into easily manipulated kites for people of all ages. With a thin string in hand, the players can have their dreams also take flight.	May 4 Sunday 1 - 4 pm Exhibition & workshop 1 pm The tallest building - Taiwan 101 and skycrapers in general by Architect Mr. Houcher Hsu	In one respect Huang's kites are a symbol of the traditional culture of Taiwan, but they are also infused with modern ideas giving them a special vibrancy. Huang's overflowing creativity and enchanting artistic nature hoists the traditional children's toy to an entirely new stage. His kites are, of course, fine works of art.
