The architecture of Taiwan can be traced back to stilt housing of the aborigines in prehistoric times; to the building of fortresses and churches in the north and south used to colonize and convert the inhabitants during the Dutch and Spanish period; the Tungning period when Taiwan was a base of anti-Qing sentiment and Minnan-style architecture was introduced; in Qing dynasty period, a mix of Chinese and Western architecture appeared and artillery battery flourished during Qing’s Self-Strengthening Movement; During the Japanese rule of Taiwan, the Minnan, Japanese and Western culture were main influencers in architectural designs and saw the introduction and use of reinforced concrete. Due to excessive Westernization as a colony, after the retrocession of Taiwan to the Republic of China in 1945 from Japan at the end of World War II, Chinese classical style became popular and entered into international mainstream as a postmodern design style. Today, Taiwanese architecture has undergone much diversification, every style of architecture can be seen.

Prehistory (-1621)
The architecture of prehistoric Taiwan saw structures ranging from cave dwellings, stilt housing, to stone masonry. Primarily of Austronesian architecture.

Cave Dwelling
Prehistoric man made use of caves for their dwellings and Taiwan’s oldest known civilization is the Changbin culture (長濱文化) dating back to over 50,000 years. An example of an archaeological site of a cave dwelling is the Baxian Cave (八仙洞) in Changbin Township, Taitung County which is dated from between 5,500 and 30,000 years. The actual cave itself has a height of around ten meters and can accommodate some ten persons.

Stilt Housing

Spread over the vast prehistoric Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean areas, stilt houses vary greatly. In more recent times, Taiwanese aborigines make use of them for holding church meetings, as places to cool down and to hold ancestral activities. Apart from their cooling effect, stilt houses also have various functions such as avoiding miasma, dampness, flood, and insects and snakes from entering, it is also easier to construct.

Stone Slab Housing
The Paiwan and Bunun tribes made houses using thatched roofing and made walls from stones, homes of nobles were decorated with elaborate wood carvings. The special characteristics of such houses is that dark colored building materials help conceal the buildings in its environment and the layered use of rocks mimic the scales of the hundred pacer snake that they worship.

Aboriginal Architecture
Chinese and aborigines made use of natural materials for basic construction materials such as straw, wood, bamboo, grass, stone, soil, etc. The types and styles vary depending on the environment, climate, and cultural influences of each tribe. For example, the Amis tribe tend to live in larger communities and planned the layout of their community such as placement of communal homes and a plaza for matters of governance inside, planting a bamboo forest around the outside with camps and guard stations to defend against foreign aggressors. The Atayal and Saisiyat tribes made their homes out of wood and bamboo while the Tao tribe who live further away on Orchid Island and faced strong changes in seasonal weather such as typhoons, developed houses that made use of digging vertically into the ground to strengthen their foundations.

Dutch and Spanish settlement (1624-1662)
In the sixteenth century, Taiwan entered the age of great navigation and was led by Western powers. During this period, buildings were mostly fortress whose core is the ruling center , and they combined functions such as the ruling center , fortress , and living . The most important are the wind cabinet tail city , heat blue shelter city , general Roman city , Santo Domingo city . The city of Zeeland and the city of Protar were built for the Dutch ; the city of Santo Domingo was built for the Spaniards . The Netherlands belongs to Western European countries and particularly likes to use red bricks as the main material; Spain is a country in Southern Europe , and building materials prefer ventilated stone . Both countries have chosen to build a military fort as a stronghold for the consolidation of power. The design uses flat squares. Corners usually highlight pentagonal bastions . They are mainly used to install cannons . In the Ming Dynasty, the Dutch built Rejean City in the Anping area today; Spain built the city of San Salvador on the island of Somalia outside Jilonggang in the north and later built Santo Domingo City in Huwei (now Dianmi District). This period brought Taiwan’s architecture to the highest point of Europeanization . The buildings in this period are mostly Taiwan’s first-generation architectural masterpieces and have been listed as national monuments .

Fort Zeelandia was built by the Dutch in 1624 and is now known as Anping Fort.
Fort Provintia was a bastion structure, the remains of which are now known as Chihkan Tower.
Taioan Street (大員市街) was built by the Dutch and is now the present day Yanping Street (延平街) in Anping District, Tainan.

Fort San Domingo was built by the Spanish in 1628 and after their defeat was rebuilt by the Dutch. It is known as Âng-mn̂g-siâⁿ (Red-haired Fort) after the Dutch people.
The 16th century was a time of Western naval navigation, exploration and trade and also the shifting of power from the Ming dynasty to the Qing dynasty. Most of the architecture in Taiwan from this period were dominated by fortresses, primarily the Dutch Fengguiwei Fort (風櫃尾城), Fort Zeelandia, Fort Provintia in the south and the Spanish Fort San Domingo to the north. The Dutch used red bricks in construction while the Spanish used stone. Both sides made use of ports and constructed fortresses to consolidate their power on the island. The fortresses were square shaped with an additional side for the installment of artillery. This period saw Taiwan architecture enter the peak of Western colonization. Such structures from this period represent the first generation of architectural works and is now listed as a world heritage by the Republic of China government.

The Modern Planning of Taipei City during the Meiji Period

Japan’s European Experience in Modern Urban Planning
In 1895, the Japanese colonial government occupied Taiwan and began to promote the modernization of Taiwan, including urban planning and the construction of Western-style buildings. Since then, Taipei City has gradually changed from a traditional Chinese model to a modern Chinese city-mixed modern city layout and operation model. The modernization of the government office concentration area where the Central Government of Japan is located has had the most impact on Taipei City today. In 1897, the Japanese government used the modern measuring instrument to construct the underground waterway construction project in Taipei City and drew a map of Taipei City, Dadao Mountain, and Daocheng. It accurately recorded the silhouette of Taipei City and its streets, compared to the previously inaccurate Chinese map. It can better meet the needs of the colonial government in military and political management and management. From the same year 1897 to 1901, the Japanese government dismantled part of the city to facilitate the construction of railway transportation. It was arguably the beginning of the modernization of Taipei City, and Taipei City also changed from a defensive city to an open city. In the modernization of Japan’s domestic cities, Ito Bowen took the lead in referring to Europe’s practice of concentrating government offices in one district, and proposed the construction of a government office concentrated area in Japan to demonstrate Japan’s determination to enter a modern power. In particular, after Japan introduced the “Government Repayment” in 1867, it was necessary to use the new administrative district to demonstrate the administrative efficiency of the new government and the new weather that was different from the past. On the other hand, the government building group foreseen by the Japanese government should have the standard of the advanced western countries in terms of area, style, or quality standards, and it could even become a new model in the world. From 1875 onwards, over the next decade, Tokyo’s government office concentrated area program began to be implemented, located near Hibiya Park. To this end, the former Ministry of Industry was disbanded, and the temporary building bureau directly under the Central Government was established. The first director was Jing Shouxin, then the foreign minister, and the new organization was fully responsible for the project. The European city planning experience in Japan is quite a learning from Berlin in modern Germany. In 1871, after Prussia defeated France and unified Germany, the Japanese government immediately dispatched a mission to investigate. The group has a total of 46 people. Ito Bowen, who has a major influence on Japan in the future, is also included. Among them is Matsuzaki, the son of filial Piety Emperor, who will continue studying in Germany for the next 13 years. After returning to Japan in 1884, Matsuzaki took office as chief technical officer of the Temporary Architecture Bureau and participated in the Central Government’s centralized plan in Hibiya, Tokyo. In the work team at that time, there were many plans that came from German architects, which shows the importance of German experience to Japan. The use of boulevards is one of the most representative influences. The German architectural firm responsible for participating in the project was particularly recommended by the German engineer Hoblishid to come to Tokyo to inspect and provide advice, especially for the section of the Boulevard and the Green Garden. During his stay in Japan for more than a month, he was accompanied by Goto Shinpei, who was then in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Health of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This cooperation experience has given Gato a lot of harvest and will use the experience of cooperation in the planning of Taipei City in the future. German Berkman, who was responsible for the design of the Japanese government office concentration area, borrowed the experience of Berlin to break the limitations of Tokyo’s Miyagi Castle and set the “Japan Chase” (Japan Avenue) and the “Central Chase” (Central Avenue) as the central axis. It is extended by the new palace. After Japan’s Avenue continues southward, it connects with the “Royal Avenue” on the right and “Queen’s Avenue” on the left, forming a triangular road system. Along these roads, many government bureaus or public buildings with different functions have been designed, such as the police hall, the referee, the Tokyo government office, the theater theater, hotels, restaurants, and tea-eaters. Around the triangular road system, many large and small rings and geometrically shaped green gardens are also connected. At the southern end of the site is the Central Station, which will continue to connect with Central Avenue and pass directly to the east side of Tsukiji Honganji Temple towards Tokyo Bay. Although the buildings in the Guanting Concentration Zone have their own independent appearances, for the overall planning, the designers make full use of the rational geometrical geometry of the axis, the square line and the spacious street, and the lively and changeable pattern combinations to create magnificent effects. To become a modern city with a holistic outlook. After the construction of Tokyo City began, the exchange between Japan and Europe continued. In October 1886, German “Ender and Berkman Company” was surveyed in Japan. It was convenient and very active to send 20 Japanese to Berlin next month. The team consisted of the British architect Kandel, three of whom were staff of the Temporary Buildings Bureau of the Tokyo Institute of Technology. They were Hirohiro Hohei, Watanabe Watanabe (and Kizui Laihuang), and the first two of them helped Berkman in the process. Tokyo sketch for urban planning blueprint. The above three people, together with Matsushita, who has a royal background and studied in Germany for many years, are quite talented, but cannot be seen in the Japanese tradition. Later, when they come to Taipei, they are playing their talents in Taiwan.

Taipei influenced by the German atmosphere
Although Taiwan was in the early days of Japan’s colonization, the work of the three former governors, Huan Huan Ji, Khe Taro, and Nomu Xi Dian, focused on Taiwan’s local work focused on military repression and military occupation. They are still gradually working on the transformation and construction of urban planning in Taipei, such as planning the establishment’s settlement. The governors at all levels of the bureaucracy and sent think tanks from Japan to Taiwan. Including the 1896 appointment with the second governor, Kuro Kotoro, the prime minister Ito Bowen, who came to visit Taiwan, and Director of Health Shinto Etoji. During the inspection mission, Prime Minister Ito Bowen and the father-in-law of Taiwan’s governor-in-chief, Katsuro, and Foreign Minister Seiji Sang, were friends. Both Ito Bowen and Inoue Ion promoted the imitation of German systems and systems against the British Empire, including imitating German city planning and urban building regulations. In 1886, Ionaka Inoue strongly advocated the German style in the official concentration plan area in Tokyo’s Hibiya. Taiwan’s Governor Gui Taro, who is also studying in Germany, has even been appointed military attache to the German Embassy in Germany. European urban planning since the 19th century emphasizes both visual aesthetics and functional importance, based on geometric patterns and symmetrical spatial structures, into functional construction, including roads, waterways, sanitary facilities, and various types of government office administration. mechanism. For Japan, this set of urban planning in the West is worth learning. After Europeanization, it will continue to experiment with modern cities in Taiwan cities, especially Taipei City. From this perspective, Taipei is arguably one of the most advanced cities under contemporary Japanese rule. Goto Shinpei later became the mayor of Tokyo, which can illustrate this historical trend. Goto Shinpei travelled to Germany for two years in 1890 and greatly appreciated Bismarck’s governing policy. Goto Shinpei advocated that the country should be regarded as an organism in 1889 and broadly defined the governance of state affairs as hygienic treatment. After the sanitation problem is resolved, the national function can function and the nation can be healthy; the chief executor is a doctor, and the government official should use objective science. The way of biology and medicine understands the origins and problems of the country and govern the country with objective, rational, and modern scientific methods. Therefore, the establishment of a health system and a health organization and the establishment of a health care system are necessary conditions for a sound empire. In the second half of the 19th century, the emerging European powers, like an organism with vitality, tried to use all kinds of modern and scientific methods to govern, while powerful cities, such as Berlin, Germany, are rapidly expanding and scientifically rational planning. Gradually, local towns have transformed into modern international capitals. Hoblishid, the expert who planned urban development in Berlin, was invited to visit Tokyo in 1887. At that time, Goto Shinpei, who was accompanied by the investigation, was deeply affected. Goto Shinpei, who has served in the health bureau in the future, pays special attention to all kinds of health investigations. The first job in Taiwan is to conduct a scientific investigation first. Goto Shinpei came to Taiwan with the 1896 delegation and immediately began investigating Taiwan’s entire island health facilities and water and sewer design. Members of the survey every other year proposed to the Governor that they plan to merge the design of the street sewers in Taipei City with the expansion of the road. In addition, the development of Taipei City is also constrained by the inconsistencies in the street layout and the city skyline. In the same year that the delegation visited Taiwan, the State Administration of Civil Affairs of Taiwan set up a temporary civil engineering bureau (the predecessor of the Civil Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Civil Affairs). At that time, it used to employ both Nagao Banbian and Hamano Yashiro, who had a professional background in civil engineering. From 1889 on, they were recruited. In the next ten years, we will jointly promote the modernization of Taipei City.

Goto Shinpei’s “Armored Warriors” and Taipei City Policy
When Taipei was carrying out a large-scale transformation, Governor Goto Shinpei of the Governor’s Office said that building is “armored weaponry.” In other words, “The construction of the city is considered to be a kind of military armament. It is a necessary equipment for the country’s prosperity and can be prepared for resistance. movement”. During his time studying in Germany, he had seen with his own eyes how Berlin changed from a regional city to an international metropolis of all Germany and the world. After coming to Taiwan, they also want to apply the same planning concept to Taipei City, which will enable the city to have a fairly complete and convenient modern function and have antibodies against various challenges. In fact, during his career as Mayor of Tokyo from 1920 to 23, Goto Shinpei also proposed a large-scale urban reconstruction. Many projects are the same as those in Taipei’s urban reconstruction: perfect waterway system, adequate public facilities, and open and convenient streets. , integrating urban tradition with modern needs. Although Tokyo’s reform has been difficult to implement smoothly due to factors such as party competition and lack of support from the central government, it can still be seen that his experience in Taiwan has turned back to affect Tokyo’s development.

The Japanese Government’s Taipei City Modernization Plan
The city planning of Taipei during the Japanese colonial period to a certain extent was based on the experience of major European cities, especially the demolition of old city walls and the expansion of the concept of urban development. Since the 17th century, cities such as London, Paris, Vienna, Berlin and Amsterdam have successively demolished the city walls and reorganized them. After demolition of the old city wall, Taipei decided to lay down the street in all directions. The Temporary Civil Engineering Bureau of the Civil Administration Office of the General Administration of Japan’s Government House still follows the old regulations and plans new roads in accordance with the traditional layout of the city. For example, the extension of Beimen Street (now Hengyang Road), especially the expansion into the south, becomes a road that runs through the north and south urban areas, and the southern section The copy is Wenwu Street. As for Fuqian Street (a section of Chongqing South Road today), which is the central axis of the city, it now runs through the entire city. In addition, many things are laid on the road. The city that has traditionally taken military defense as its starting point has been transformed into a modern city that focuses on transportation needs. As for the inner city blocks, the planning logic at that time was to divide the entire city into “street profiles” and draw a total of 52 street profiles. Constrained by the fact that old streets and buildings are not symmetrical, the appearance of new street profiles often presents asymmetric rectangles and asymmetric polygons. With the street profile as a unit, the new city has also developed a completely different appearance from the linear pattern of development along the street along the street in the Qing Dynasty. In addition, in the building materials, Taipei’s Guanting Concentration Zone also has its own unique features: Many buildings use red bricks. Designed by Matsuzaki Takashi and Watanabe Wanshou, the Taipei Railway Hotel completed in 1908 was one of the most representative examples at the time. Although the scale is not as modern as a European city, when the Japanese took over Taipei, the city was already a fairly modern city, and it had a fairly well-defined government office concentration area containing financial, economic, military, commercial, postal, and telecommunications. Telegrams and other important functions. From Taiwan’s history, Taipei can be said to be a new attempt in the process of modernization. At that time, many Japanese were also quite interested in experimenting with the modernization of the government office concentration area. In this colony in Taipei, younger architects or officials can be more impervious to traditions and carry out modernization on existing foundations. From the “Taipei City Urban Planning Project” announced in 1900, the initial plan was limited to the inner city area. It was apparent that it wanted to use the “concentration area of the government offices” in the Qing Dynasty to develop the remaining buildings or open space. New political core area in the future. In the near future, it will continue to develop into a more complete “Taipei City Government Office Concentration Zone.” The Japanese also introduced the modern urban planning law into Taiwan. One of the earliest decrees was the “Decrease of Urban Planning/Construction System Regulations” (No. 30) of November 1900. Planning and Building Regulations”). The following year, Japan promulgated a new urban planning law. Based on the previous year, it expanded its planning and expanded the scope beyond the old city, making it necessary to demolish the city wall.

Third Urban Area Project: Chinese-style Chessboard Structure Infused with Western-style Baroque Geometric Layout
In 1905, the Government of Japan announced the third version of the Taipei City Modernization Plan. Compared to the previous version, the scope of the new version is not confined to the Taipei City Center, but extends to the surrounding 艋舺, Dadao, and Dongmen, Nanmen and Sanbanqiao (south of South Gate and southeast of South Gate). As a result, the scale is obviously much larger. The main person in charge is still Gotanda Shinpei’s long-tailed semi-flat love. According to the “Taipei District Correction Chart” of the year, the new plan adds many of the geometric shapes and spatial concepts in Europe since the Baroque period and the Enlightenment movement in the traditional checkerboard layout. For example, the space after the demolition of the city wall was originally planned to be a park square, and finally it was decided to plan the boulevard of the three-lane road and become an important traffic artery in the future Taipei City. Among the plans announced at that time, the planning for “Taipei New Park” (Today’s 228 Park) can already be seen. It is closely related to the government office concentration area and has been incorporated into the overall plan as part of the new cityscape. When the city wall of Taipei was demolished, a radial ring was placed at the corner of the corner of the corner where the main roads extended outward and became an important connecting point for each block. In addition to the traffic functions, these circular intersections are also deliberately used to create special urban landscapes that complement the boulevards and make it a new landmark in the city. The northeastern side of the ring has become the intersection point between today’s Zhongxiao East Road and Zhongshan South and North Road; the southeast corner of the ring is with the triangle road to the southeast, which is the intersection point formed by the two roads of today’s Patriotic East Road and Roosevelt Road. In the more outlying areas, more triangular roads, unequal quadrilaterals, and conical road systems are used to connect the Taipei City and the areas southeast of the city and the area alongside the Xindian Stream. The planning is quite flexible and diverse. As for today’s Roosevelt Road, Nanhai Road, Jinhua Street, Linsen South Road, etc., it is also a five-line road to strengthen traffic. The North Gate Ring is surrounded by five radial roads. The area where the city walls were originally becomes today’s section of Zhongxiao West Road and Zhonghua Road. It was then a beautiful boulevard. In the planning of the western half, a large number of triangles, unequal quadrilaterals, and diagonal roads are also used in a large number of ways to reinforce the old road system. There are two criteria for the width of the new road at this time, one is 72.8 meters and the other is 145.6 meters.

Planning to build Taipei’s Champs Elysees: “Sampling Road make roads
The Jiantan Shrine in Taiwan was completed in 1900 and the Governor’s Office in Taiwan was built in 1919. In the planning at that time, a world-class specification was deliberately planned to cross the important north-south road (currently Zhongshan North Road) across Taipei City to connect two places. It was completed in 1936. At that time, the use of “zones exceeded usage” dealt with the landscape on both sides. The law means that “in addition to the original road sites, the blocks that are accompanied by the roads are also collected. In this way, the incomplete surrounding land can be included in the urban planning at the same time, or it can be re-planned into public construction sites. After planning, the block will be sold at a high price, and the acquirer will need to stamp it according to the plan. Therefore, the entire block and the building have a uniform and neat appearance.” As a whole, the new version of the city plan, its road system is more emphasis on east-west extension, North and South Lane road as an aid. In fact, this concept of planning also has biological principles. It is considered that the city of Taipei has more and more east winds, and the east-west road can reduce dust accumulation and can also have sufficient sunshine. It can be said that it is quite consistent with the hygiene concept advocated by the Japanese government. The fate of Taipei monuments and Tokyo monuments is not the same. During the process of reconstructing the Taipei city, it is undeniable that the Japanese colonial government did not treat the monuments in the city. Take Tokyo as an example. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Ito Bowen (1841-1904), the Meiji government cooperated with German architects Ender and Berkman to preside over the “Hiyabiya Official Office Centralization Project.” The plan preserves the original appearance of Edo Castle as much as possible, especially the city outline consisting of vortexes rotating to the right, including Benmar, Erwan, Sanmaru, Nishimaru, and Kitaru. It must be preserved in addition to natural disasters. It cannot be built or demolished. It will be preserved and become “the residence of the Imperial Palace” today. However, in Taiwan, not only powerful public powers were involved in the reconstruction of the landscape, but even after the 1911 reconstruction work after the typhoon disaster, the construction of the “Kyomachi reconstruction” city plan and the construction of public health were implemented. As a result of the dramatic transformation, Taipei City has been separated from history and tradition. In the future, the relevant laws and regulations governing the implementation of the city in Japan will still lack the protection of monuments and historic buildings. The old city gates preserved in this environment: Dongmen (According to the main gate), Dananmen (Lisungmen), Xiaonanmen (Chongximen), and North Gate (Chengenmen) are considered to be a few special cases. After Teng Xinping was the leader, he was headed by Nagao Banping and a young urban planning group assisted by Nomura Ichiro. The city gate was designed as a circular function and combined with Baroque modeling to add the appearance of Taipei City to modernity.
