When I stepped into Taipei First Girls High School for the first time, I was deeply shocked by the campus scenery. I am impressed neither by the antique beauty of the Guang-Fu Building nor the gifted students, but the buildings that are inconsistent with the status of the top school in the girls’ high schools. With the deeper understanding of the school environment and detailed conversation, I started to realize that this land and these buildings are full of regional heterogeneity, and to deliberate whether the hundred-year-old campus can only be rebuilt by continuing the past historical remains of campus development and be buried in the existed glory history. Taipei First Girls High School is a place of shining points which not only has students with excellent academic performance but also with special location which makes it have diverse characteristics such as political turbulence, setbacks and ruins caused by wars, historical marks, peaceful education, etc. The researcher worked in the Building Administration Office of Taipei City and now is engaged in campus planning and design in the Department of Education, Taipei City Government. The researcher got the chance to take part in the reconstruction plan of T.F.G Green Library (Hsueh-Chu building) in 2008 and think it a pity for the school in the past space reconstruction plans that it only passively took into account campus space requirement but discussed little in the characteristics of school history, regional features and users’ behaviors in the premise of abiding by architecture law. It is expected that this research can find space heterogeneity of the school and propose suggestions for new construction plan of Green Library, making this school’s female intelligence space have a profound introspection—campus reconstruction and creativity. Since the national government governed Taiwan, Taipei First Girls High School has undergone several times of campus reconstruction. The focal points of reconstruction considerations are different in terms of different stages of history and political atmosphere. Moreover, the reconstruction results are different in terms of the purposes of spare space utilization, refuge of war, political exchange or teaching usage. The buildings are arranged along the campus boundary line and the space in the middle of buildings naturally becomes the playground. Conservation, filling and isolation are the main methods used by campus reconstruction. As a hundred-year-old school, time has already branded deep traces in the campus. Facing the transformation thought of globalization, although education is no longer the issue valued by statesmen, Taipei First Girls High School is lucky to be the one that many outstanding schoolfellows still pay close attention to reconstruction plan of campus development and extend their new thoughts to the follow-up reconstruction and space integration. In 2004 (93 0f R0C), considering the trend of globalization, the school regarded that the old campus was not enough for the utilization and started the reconstruction plan of Green Library—Hsueh-Chu building for the intention of integrating information, reading and library and the commemoration of Hsueh-Chu, Chiang, in hope of becoming the top campus building so as to achieve the purpose of rebuilding campus life and study space. The Department of Education of Taipei City Government also listed the reconstruction plan in the Major New Building Plan of 1999 to 2013. In the process of discussions of plans, the school and government department had some introspection opinions of Destroy and Preservation of New Buildings. It is worthy of remaining for those stories and meanings created by historical regional heterogeneity of Taipei First Girls High School.
