碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 都市計劃學系碩博士班 === 95 === After industrial revolution, there were a lot of people crowding into urban area result from the quick development of city, and the change of society and culture aggravate the increase on the problem of urban development. Under the driving force oriented toward economics and efficiency, urging the functionalism being in vogue; thus, this situation caused the lack of space identity and identification, and made urban form lose centripetal force of our society and support of history, and brought faults in the vein of the social culture. There are flaws and defects to observe all kinds of urban theories, and it’s hard to meet different need of every areas. So the objective of this research is to review the structure of “urban design” in this day from another fresh point of view, and suggest a set of perspective and solution to examine the status of urban development nowadays; therefore, we take the undiscussed urban form and space from these urban research at modern times as the main shaft to confer, and the physical environment as the direction to get into, and present a new process of urban design completely aiming to the specific time, space and user. This research bases on the concept of urban “diagnosis” and ”repair” suggested by Alexander, and transforms this thought into a sort of reading and writing about urban organic environment. Through analyzing related theories of urban form, we’ll come up with the main frame, and propose identifying research on the basis of shape、meaning and grammar from building、streets and space, meanwhile, figure out the relationship between person、space and time which are the three major element constitute environment for the guide and fundamental of this research; and further, collect and integrate the theory of “good city form” as the fundamental to view the present environment. Therefore, we hope this research could be the example of urban renew and community redevelopment in the future, and extend the viewpoints and techniques adopted by urban designer to the present city environment, consequently, we can correct the disadvantages of urban design which are lack of method and value judgment in this days.
