台中州廳的空間生產1895-1945

台中市源於清代劉銘傳時期的「新台灣省會」之創建，原計畫市街規模達323公頃，可惜因甲午戰爭而終止發展，留下諾大的城郭官署。日治之後殖民政府爲配合其統治需求，設立州廳於此，一方面去除地方紋理，整頓街廓、拆廟宇，遷衙門考棚等，以抹除台灣傳統城市建築意象；另一方面則塑造殖民象徵，興建州廳官署建築等；並拓展殖民產業空間興建糖廠、酒廠；積極進行市街改正以便營造一個有利的殖民經濟掠奪空間。然而此時恰逢國際間現代建築運動流行之際，因此日治時期的台灣建築與都市規劃呈現出十分有趣的混雜與矛盾的殖民現代性，在官署建築上講究形式象徵的帝國主義，在產業建築上卻追求實用功能的現代主義。本文以台中州廳爲主要對象，研究其建築營造過程與都市空間的生產關係。研究課題有二方面，首先理解日治時期殖民城市規劃理念，課題包括：官署建築群的權力空間佈局、州廳殖民統治象徵的塑造、現代化產業空間的規劃、都市基盤設施分佈與種族差別待遇，以理解殖民城市的空間結構。其次是檢視此空間結構在實踐過程中所遭遇的台灣社會民主化與現代化的壓力，並理解當時知識份子的矛盾心理與重層複雜的殖民現代性。

As the provincial capital and the largest city in the central region of the island, Taichung played a rather important role in late 19th century Taiwan. Nevertheless, many public buildings and temples were destroyed after the Japanese occupation (1895-1945). The colonial government undertook urban reformation, embedding new Western imperial buildings, including a railroad station, a sugar refinery and a distillery, in the central city. The Japanese attempted to build a colonial city like European colonies, with a radiating road network and classicism governmental buildings, in order to concrete the symbol of imperialism, and to develop an effective production system for modern sugarhouse and winery. This hybrid character gives Taichung a unique colonial modernity. This study expands historical research to socio-cultural study, exploring the building history as well as the social network and urban tissue. The architectural and social changes during the colonial Taichung are discussed, to demonstrate the interconnection between imperial symbols and modern industrial production, and to identify the role of the local elite in forming the colonial society? These empirical studies focus discuss the urban history of Taichung in terms of the transplantation of imperialism and modernism.
