碩士 === 淡江大學 === 建築學系 === 87 === Tan-shwei is an important viewpoint of observing how foreign influence affects a place and its space program. Within Tan-shwei, the Pu-Din area has its specially interesting space changes because of its three-hundred-long exposure under different ethnic changeover. For example, the entrance of foreign forces, the designation of residence for them, the establishment of consulates, the institution of foreign firms, the promotion of churches, the construction of residences, hospitals, and schools, and local compradors'' imitation of these new foreign concepts, all contributed to its space changes. This research observes the landscape of Tan-Shwei, especially that of Pu-Ding. At the angle of cultural imagination , we try to find how and why, historically, the western culture changed this space. By examining the changes in the form and the function of the colonial architecture in Pu-Ding, we can see the cultural impact in different periods and the indigen''s response and imagination to that. Thus, we choose this certain area and try to hit the mark in space by exploring the literature, poetry, paintings, and figures in different times, in order to discuss the cultural imagination and the consequent cultural identity in the colonial architecture and place.
