| Popis: | 92 Having signed the “Ma-Guan Treaty” in 1895 (Guwang-shu 21), Taiwan became the colony of Japan. During the 50 years of Japanese governance, many constructions and innovations that help to establish the foundation of Taiwan modernization were done. The construction of power resource-electricity facilities, is among the most important achievement. Although people tried to utilize electric lighting in late Ching Dynasty with limited geographic areas, it is not until Japanese governance that large-scaled electric facilities are established. This establishment not only encourages the development of Taiwan agriculture and industrial development, it also brings transformation in the space and life pattern of urban area. There is still part of the electrical facilities built during the Japanese governance of existence. They are not only of special construction and architecture values, but also the history witnesses of Taiwan’s economics development and urbanization. The maintenance and proper application become the tasks for these “industrial heritage”. Currently, researches done on electricity in the Japanese governance period are mostly focused on the historical changes of electricity companies and industry. Little is done for the electricity facilities constructions and their architecture spaces. This indirectly results in a “singular” preservation with a focus mainly on power houses or even the single factory building of the power house instead of an overall preservation concept toward the entire electricity system. The research is designed to establish a foundation for future preservation works, to position the historic values of these cultural heritage and to have a thorough understanding of the electricity development during the Japanese governance. There will be three parts in this research. The first part of the research will explore the reason of constructing power house facilities and the change in the power supply areas. Through a vertical discussion by time period, we analyze the association among Taiwan electricity development, breeding and cultivation policies and people’s living in urban areas. The second part of the research will explore the influence electricity facilities have on the construction of city streets and spaces. Through the understanding of the content and function of the electricity system, we construct an overall outline for the entire electricity system. This includes the “point” of single electricity facility and the “area” of the entire power supply area. Then, we discuss the planning pattern of the segmentation of city street lighting facilities and the transportation route. We also discuss the changes of city landscape and lifestyle resulted from the utilization of electricity. In the third part of the research, we explore the allocation pattern of electricity facilities and their architecture characteristics. Different from other public buildings, the electricity facilities are of pure functional nature. However, judging from their structures and style presentations, we can still find traces of influence from architecture trends of various eras. Through literature review and field investigation researches, we try to construct the concept of important buildings in the electricity system. |
