| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北藝術大學 === 建築與文化資產研究所 === 100 === Taipei hall founded in 1884 is on behalf of the political, military and financial promotion in Taipei basin. The facilities constructed by the first imperial inspector, whose name is Liu-Minchuan started the prelude of modernization. And then, the successor, Shau-Youlian confirmed the fact that Taipei hall is the capital of Taiwan. After decades, Taiwan had been the first colony of Japan since Sino-Japanese War of 1984. In the Japanese colonial period, they still chose Taipei hall as the center of their rule. In the initial stage, the Japanese governors followed the form of the government office in the Qing dynasty. Compared to the Qing empire used the hall as the solid rule, Japanese governors demolished it on contrary. Even that, in the “Taipei Urban Project” in 1905, they planned to build the boulevard which is surrounded the city in the section of the hall relics. The boulevard is the subject of this study—Taipei three lanes.
The broad three lanes was not only a shock in that time, but also a contribution of modernization to Taipei city. Before the lanes had been constructed, the system of underground drainage was built completely. The three lanes improved the sanitation and drainage. Moreover, the three lanes also connected the three major streets together. In the first decade of 20th century, there were many western offices erected in the area. The three lanes became the most outstanding conclusion of the urban construction. The lush three lanes made the visitors who came at first time admire the splendor of the southern island and the success of Japanese colonial rule. All of a sudden, the modernization of Taipei similarly surpassed the average standard in Japan, and equaled to Tokyo or Osaka.
Furthermore, in Japanese colonial period, the three lanes which was the core of the government contained three functions: ritual space, recreational place and athletic field. Although the first function belonged to the governors, other functions belonged to the citizens. In addition to what above mentioned, the three lanes is not only the medium of conversion in the common life, but also has Taipei city modernize step by step.
This study investigates Taipei three lanes constructed in Japanese colonial period how to effect the modernization of Taipei. Simultaneously, the study also wants to clarify the value of Taipei three lanes for the subsequent reference material.
