Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taiwan is a small island located in Eastern Asia, between the South China Sea and the East China Sea. It is officially known as the Republic of China and has a population of over 23 million people. Taiwan is known for its beautiful landscapes, friendly people, and vibrant culture. The economy is largely based on manufacturing and exports, with electronics being the largest sector. Taiwan is also known for its food, with a variety of dishes influenced by the cultures of China, Japan, and Southeast Asia. While Taiwan is a small island, it has a rich and complex history. Originally inhabited by Austronesian tribes, it was colonized by the Dutch in the 17th century and later ruled by the Qing Dynasty of China. In 1895, Taiwan was ceded to Japan, who controlled the island until the end of World War II. After the war, Taiwan was returned to China, but in 1949, the communist party won the Chinese Civil War and established the People's Republic of China on the mainland. The Nationalist government fled to Taiwan and established the Republic of China, which continues to govern the island today. While Taiwan has faced challenges related to its political status and relationship with China, it has emerged as a prosperous and democratic nation with a unique identity and culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue features the architecture in Taiwan, an island state in East Asia largely covered with rugged mountain ranges throughout its length, whilst densely populated along the perimeter. Over the past 25 years, architecture in Taiwan has transited from a field exclusive to professionals, to one that is relatable and enjoyed by the masses. Even amidst volatile political and challenging economical situations, the administering of public works and commissioning of projects managed to maintain the country's creativity and rationality. This is also where architects overseas found unprecedented design freedom, realizing one of their best works in the island. The featured projects are borne out of their unique conditions, those that reflect the architects' concerns with the environment, cultures and histories. Through them, we begin to understand and appreciate the island that was once named "IIha Formosa (beautiful island)".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early twentieth century, Chinese traditional architecture and the French-derived methods of the École des Beaux-Arts converged in the United States when Chinese students were given scholarships to train as architects at American universities whose design curricula were dominated by Beaux-Arts methods. Upon their return home in the 1920s and 1930s, these graduates began to practice architecture and create China’s first architectural schools, often transferring a version of what they had learned in the U.S. to Chinese situations. The resulting complex series of design-related transplantations had major implications for China between 1911 and 1949, as it simultaneously underwent cataclysmic social, economic, and political changes. After 1949 and the founding of the People’s Republic, China experienced a radically different wave of influence from the Beaux-Arts through advisors from the Soviet Union who, first under Stalin and later Khrushchev, brought Beaux-Arts ideals in the guise of socialist progress. In the early twenty-first century, China is still feeling the effects of these events. Chinese Architecture and the Beaux-Arts examines the coalescing of the two major architectural systems, placing significant shifts in architectural theory and practice in China within relevant, contemporary, cultural, and educational contexts. Fifteen major scholars from around the world analyze and synthesize these crucial events to shed light on the dramatic architectural and urban changes occurring in China today—many of which have global ramifications. This stimulating and generously illustrated work is divided into three sections, framed by an introduction and a postscript. The first focuses on the convergence of Chinese architecture and the École des Beaux-Arts, outlining the salient aspects of each and suggesting how and why the two "met" in the U.S. The second section centers on the question of how Chinese architects were influenced by the Beaux-Arts and how Chinese architecture was changed as a result. The third takes an even closer look at the Beaux-Arts influence, addressing how innovative practices, new schools of architecture, and buildings whose designs were linked to Beaux-Arts assumptions led to distinctive new paradigms that were rooted in a changing China. By virtue of its scope, scale, and scholarship, this volume promises to become a classic in the fields of Chinese and Western architectural history. Contributors: Tony Atkin, Peter J.

This book was released on 1984 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents an explicit model for the study of the Chinese house, In the past, most research on the traditional Chinese architecture did not deal with the morphology of buildings, so that we often had to rely on the creative leap, once we applied those spatial characteristics of Chinese architecture to the contemporary context. Thus, this study attempts to make use of the morphological approach to analyze the traditional courtyard houses in Taiwan, derive a thematic system for such buildings and its rules to generate contemporary Chinese dwellings. The study begins with an analysis of physical forms starting from the dwelling level to the furniture level, through which a series of rules will be abstracted. On the dwelling level, the issues of spatial organization, spatial sequence and relationship will be addressed. On the room level and the furniture level, this study will further explore the individual spatial properties and the arrangements of furniture. In addition, two dwelling types of the contemporary walk-up apartments will be proposed for further reference, based on the selected rules. A design method is also adopted to illustrate the way in which traditional patterns can be applied to the physical design. Finally, five immediate issues are raised for further research: 1. Adaptation of Traditional Patterns 2. The Support Model 3. Surrounding Context 4. Evaluation of Design Process and Environmental Quality 5. Research model.
