碩士 === 朝陽科技大學 === 建築及都市設計研究所 === 93 === Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) is the last master architect of the twentieth century.Although his architectural works were rooted in Modern Functionalism ,he incorporated nature and humanism in his designs in order to creat organic and imaginative architecture. In other words, Alvar Aalto had elevated Modernism to a higher spiritual and psychological level.This study proposes to evaluate Alvar Aalto''s architecture from the standpoint of Kenneth Frampton’s Critical Regionalism. The first is the theoretic part focused on the main gist of Critical Regionalism and on its inter-relationship with Alvar Aalto''s architectural thought. The second part is hypothesis testing which is further divided into the five following aspects :traditional culture vs. modern technology,stress on place-form,a taste for architectural tectonics, the integration of local natural elements and architectural tactile.
