芝山岩於民國八十二年依「文化資產保存法」指定為古蹟,為保存與展示芝山岩豐富的考古、人文、自然資源,台北市政府將於「芝山岩文化史跡公園」內籌設「芝山岩文化展示館」以呈現芝山岩多元化之風貌。本研究設計實際參與「芝山岩文化展示館」展示設計工作,以整體呈現芝山岩之文化史跡與自然史跡為設計主要目標。 基於「芝山岩文化展示館」的遺址博物館特質,設計過程首先對考古遺址展示進行探討,發現遺址展示有逐漸趨向環境重建(environmental reconstruction)、全景模型(Diorama)等「虛擬化」展示的趨勢,並衍生出展示「真實性」(authenticity)的問題:展示中片段的史料多經過考證,可謂真實不虛,但片段的史料串接為歷史或串接為某一個逝去文化的生活全貌時,便存在虛構的特性。然而,史料(如史前文化的遺留物等)的考證僅是博物館展示的起點,在史料真實不虛的前提下,做出「最有可能的假設」,將片段的訊息脈絡化,重現過去的歷史面貌,方能達到展示生動教育的功能。 本研究設計秉持上述理念進行「芝山岩文化展示館」展示設計工作,並且在學者、設計規劃者不同觀點與角度的意見拉扯間,逐漸完成。
In 1993 Chih Shan Yen was declared a national monument, adhering to “cultural heritage preservation law”. To preserve and display the abundant archaeology, culture, and natural resources of Chi Shan Yen, the Taipei government is planning on constructing the “Chih Shan Yen Cultural Museum” inside the “Chih Shan Yen Cultural History Park”. This Museum will exhibit the diverse beauty of the Chih Shan Yen area. This study actually participated in the design work of the display of Chih Shan Yen Cultural Observatory, aiming to fully present the cultural history and natural history of Chih Shan Yen. Based on the special nature of archaeological site museum of the Chih Shan Yen Cultural Museum, the design process is first targeted at exploration of the display of archaeological sites. It found that there were towards environmental reconstruction and environmental diorama simulation type strategies in the archaeological site display. This raised the question of the authenticity in the exhibition: all of the fragments of historical data have undergone special consideration- they’re as real as can be, but when one tries to take these fragments and put them together to totally reconstruct lifestyles of past cultures, there’s bound to be some discrepancies from reality. Despite this, the analysis of historical data (such as prehistorical artifacts) used in the exhibition is only the starting. After all data has been verified, “most likely” reconstruction tests are implemented, which try to make historical reconstructions of the state of the past, based on partial information. This study of the exhibition design of the Chih Shan Yen Cultural Museum was conducted and completed based on the above pretexts, and considers ideas and perspectives from different scholars and design planners.
