| Summary: | 碩士 === 中原大學 === 文化資產研究所 === 99 === Among the modern architecture of Taiwan during the Japanese occupation era, the red bricks have been the main typical architecture material, since the cultural conservation has been more important, in order to realize the tasks of conservation, it shall be based on the architecture’s chronological data, therefore, the establishment of this data of Taiwan’s modern architecture is the top priority.
In the chronological data of red bricks architecture, we can use the “trademarks” of red bricks production for the comparison of the architecture year and technical transfer. Though using Taiwan’s modern architecture as a medium, making a comprehensive survey on the use of bricks, through the operation of diverse brick kilns, understand and induce the types and production of the trademark red bricks, as well as how they were used on the modern architecture of Taiwan, all these data are important for the material and techniques history of the modern architecture in Taiwan.
This text uses the development of the brick kilns of Taiwan as the historical background, after Japan had westernized, the modern brick technique of Japan has been influenced by the Industrial Revolution in western, through the colonization; the dry brick technique and the Hoffmann Kiln have been introduced to Taiwan, which influenced the development of brick industry in Taiwan. Using the topic of sales competition between the Samuel & Samuel Company and Taiwan Renga to be the origin of trademark red bricks, this text tries to sum up and explain the architecture era corresponding to the trademarks on the S and T.R. red bricks.
The content of this study includes:
1. Background and trademark origin of the red brick industry in Taiwan
Through the development process of Taiwan before the Japanese occupation of 1895 and the development of the brick industry in Japan, as well as the Japanese brick technique and standards after the colonization in Taiwan, probe into the influence in Taiwan. We try to explain the brick trademarks historical background and the use method between Japan and England through the origin of the trademarks.
2. Development of brick industry in Taiwan during the Japanese Occupational Era
We divide the Japanese occupational era in three periods: beginning, middle and end or the beginning of Taiwan Retrocession, explaining the operation of the most important brick companies in each period and how they influenced the development of the brick industry in Taiwan.
3. Study on the modern architecture of Taiwan and the red bricks during the Japanese Occupational Era
Through the modern architecture of Japan and the influence to the use of red bricks as construction materials by the construction laws of Taiwan, we try to explain the trademark red bricks as a combination of three different cultural factors, i.e. local production, improvement of western brick techniques and introduction of Japanese trademark, and probe into diverse trademark types.
4. Conclusion
Using different types of trademarks such as bare trademarks, concave S trademarks, concave T.R trademarks and convex T.R trademarks to differentiate the chronology of modern architecture in Taiwan, providing the proof of justifying the year of the architecture during the reconstruction and investigation of modern architecture of Taiwan.
