Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 建築學系碩博士班 === 97 === Architectural history is a research for the being and architectural design is the art which reflects our life. Since the lack of democratic gathering place, this paper tries to create a plaza for this purpose. In the past we indeed had a temple temenos, however it was transformed as a parking. This thesis design tries to resurrect it and offers a democratic place for the people of Tainan. This paper is consisted of three parts as follows: 1, to back the very beginning of democracy—ancient Greece to realize the essence of democracy and to conceive the place for democratic activities; 2, to observe the Agora layout of Athen and Priene and to abstract their characters used as the paradigm for this design; 3, to obtain three urban images derived from Agora, respectively, urban mark, greenish shades, demos’ gathering as our design features for Tainan City. This is an oscillating dialect between the present and the past. This paper aims to combine both and get a new view-point.
