Description
Summary:碩士 === 朝陽科技大學 === 建築及都市設計研究所 === 91 === In the successive evolution and development of Christianity, the genre of church architectures, the terms of architecture modeling, the performing of construction materials and the innovation of structure technique can be obviously discovered through observing the architecture and studying its history background and evolution elements. In another factor to some certain degree, they are the reasons of divergence in spatial cognition. The research target of this study is Liu-Yuan Presbyterian Church that has the long-standing history in Christianity development in Taichung Area. Through on-site investigation into the interaction between people and environment, into the psychological recognition that brought forth to people by space, we learn how environment, space, culture background and different architecture genre conduce different spatial recognition to people who use the church. This study is processed with referring to concerning documentations and collecting on-site information, and is converted to quantative research base on terms and vocabulary in Bible. We put in order the adjectives of spatial recognition and then analyze the statistics with SPSS software and conduct the research with both qualitative and quantitative aspects. From testing the general idea about Liu-Yuan Presbyterian Church from interviewees, we generalize four types of spatial recognition elements. Among them “interesting – vigorous” obtains the strongest recognition, “peaceful – auspicious” the second, then “holy – free”, and “mysterious – highly straight up” gains the weakest recognition. Integrating this research and analyzing the data information we found that the spatial recognition Liu-Yuan Presbyterian Church brings forth to Christians and non-Christians are identically the same. While Christians perceive positive spatial recognition to church architecture, non-Christians make out negative recognition. From this dissimilarity we learn that people from different religion belief and culture discern understandable spatial recognition to church architecture. In addition, people from different fields might have different points of view toward the spatial recognition. Concluding from the recognition obtained from the masses we learn that different environment provide different spatial recognition to different groups of people, therefore genre and terms of church architecture bring different influence to spatial recognition. In this research, probe to the yardstick of architecture space, materials and colors, circumstances of light and the elements of the architecture vertical aspects should be reflected on the architecture and space design and provide designers ideas using on performing their rational concepts and technique.
