Research Of Contemporary Arhcitectural Design In Taiwan Based On Regional Characteristics

After 1970 s,Taiwan?s economy became stable and started to cherish the local nostalgia,and started to respect the traditional architecture.The traditional architecture style suddenly become the development of Taiwan architecture style,which used to express the style of regionalism and vernacular,and use the space style and material of traditional architecture to express regionalism style.The local style try to change the Single style Chinese roof style architecture,the skyline of Taiwan metropolitan begin to change.After the martial law ended in 1980 s,the development of Taiwan architecture began to get rid of political factors.The development of Taiwan architecture is the same with economic development,which is a vassal of Europe,America and Japan and other advanced countries,and began to accompany the rise of Postmodernism and then combines with the restoration of Western Postmodernism Architecture in time and space.Such coincidence makes Taiwan architecture entered to Postmodernism Architecture.At this moment,the booming of real estate happens and began to dismantle the old building,the preservation of monuments stopped.On the contrary,put the traditional architecture elements or copy Western classical architecture to the new architecture,which has no any connection with Taiwan?s environment and regional characteristic.To the 1990 s,Taiwan architecture development officially entered another stage.At this time,the young Taiwan Architect has received a complete architectural education and gradually abandoning copying the Western and Japanese architectural style,and began to search for alternative Taiwan’s regional architecture.And the overall development of regional cultural areas is flourishing,the architectural activities based on nature and culture gradually attracted attention and lots of research papers began to study and discuss regarding this.Most of the research studied in the view of history which study from KMT government moved to Taiwan to present,and also study the form issue of Southern Fujien traditional architecture.Evolved so far,most of the studies discuss the mutual process of regionalism and modernism,but these studies rarely discuss the influences and changes of regionalism features on architecture.Regional characteristics in this research refer to the characteristics of "climate",it is also diversified as ethnic groups.Ethnic groups decide lifestyle and cultural development,and climate characteristics determine the architectural form.In addition to the differences in the climant of Taiwan from south to north,there are warm wet climate which is more difficult to overcome.The geographicl characteristics of Tainan never changed and its local culture is also identifiable.When facing with "climate"-Taiwan’s regional characteristics,how the Taiwan contemporary architects will respond? This research start questioning research and theory through the practice research of Taiwan contemporary architects to find out where the problem is and try to give the answer to the problem.
