碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 土木工程學研究所 === 94 === As we know, Office of the President is a national monument in Taiwan. Metion to modernization of Office of the President, we have to pay attention to the following things. Because the life cycle of materials is limited, the wood element of the monument is easily moth-eaten and crashed, including the rocks. It will be worse if the natural disaster comes. In the debate about the basic tenets of modern preservation we sometimes overlook, on account of such historically encumbered and variously interpreted general terms as "restoration" or "re-construction" and such catchphrase as"conserve, do not restore", the fact that general principles do indeed exist, regardless of whether or not the goals of preservation can be made to prevail within the framework of differing provisions for the protection of monuments. Indeed, there are principles of preservation that, strictly speaking, have always been valid or should have been so. A seemingly self-evident truth must be stated foremost: preservation means to take care of monuments, to preserve and maintain them, not to falsify, damage, impair or even completely destroy them. In practice, historic fabric is in fact being destroyed even now to a shocking degree in the name of "renovation" and also in the course of many so-called "restorations". People are becoming more and more conscious of the unity of human values and regard ancient monuments as a common heritage. The common responsibility to safeguard them for the future generations is recognized. It is our duty to hand them on in the full richness of their authenticity".
