摘要

在全球化的影響與後工業社會的形成趨勢下，作為企業辦公大樓之所在的「高層建築」與「摩天大樓」，已成為城市最顯著的地景，並引領著都市的空間形式。1980年代後，開發中國家的首要城市或門戶性城市亦成為高層建築競相爭鳴的新場域，因為，高層建築一方面是這些國家的新興資本展現其企業權勢的一種方式，再方面，也是這些城市建立國家或城市認同、及宣告國際競爭力與城市行銷的重要手段。目前有關高層建築或摩天大樓的研究都太過於強調意象與象徵，忽略了高層建築作為一種重要的都市形式與都市的營建環境，其生產過程，包括實質環境與象徵的生產，雖是一種「全球化」的現象與發展趨勢，更也和在地的都市發展特徵與制度脈絡息息相關。因此，本文以台北城為例，從經濟、營建投資、技術與制度、以及都市發展等層面來探討高層建築的發展，目的在進一步分析當今以高層建築為構成的企業地景及其所引領的都市形式，如何構築在地域的發展脈絡與制度性架構中，而這其實才是摩天大樓在當今全球城市爭高的競逐遊戲中，所植基的地域性基礎。

High-rise buildings are conspicuous landmarks in the urban form of global cities. Since the 1980s, most of the tallest skyscrapers have been in primate cities or gateway cities in developing countries, especially Asia. Large skyscrapers are not only icons of corporate power, they are also mega projects which build national identity in developing countries. Recent research on skyscrapers and high-rise buildings, nevertheless, has focused too much on their symbolic meanings and images. As is well known, skyscrapers as high-rise buildings are generally a critical aspect of the urban built environment. Their construction, regardless of their physical form or cultural representation, is highly intertwined with processes of globalization and evolution of local institutional contexts and urban form. This article uses Taipei as a case study to show how the Asian fever of racing the sky has been realized and implemented in local settings. Factors influencing the development of high-rise real estate market are also analyzed in detail.
