碩士 === 中原大學 === 建築研究所 === 91 === Abstract The damage to the environment and change of global climate has shocked mankind of the threat of their existence. Mankind is now even more aware of the importance of lasting development. The reflection of today’s emphasis on the so-called economic growth of human activity building upon the currency has created the narrow view of differentiating the nature of human behavior as either profitable or unprofitable, and put an equal sign to the human satisfaction feeling and materialistic world. This has created an extremely wide gap between mankind and the real world, and people are lost in the false materialistic satisfaction. The richer the society the more empty feeling is the heart of mankind. The relationship between man and the surrounding environment is the topic this study intends to explore. This research attempts to use the concept of symbiosis in the regeneration of old department. Such regeneration of old department is a positive response to the lasting development of residents. The so-called symbiosis is to extend the caring aspect from physical and biological level to human level. In other words, not only the symbiosis relationship between human and nature but also the relationship among people and between people and the society are considered to find back the positioning that human has lost and return to the “settling” state of human life through changes in the most basic unit of living. This study is divided into two portions. The first portion is to clarify the concept of symbiosis, propose the concept of symbiosis residence, and establish the symbiosis model of mid-level department without elevator. The rational structure of symbiosis is developed and subsequently the model is established through the exploration of symbiosis concept and the survey of the condition of old mid-level apartment. The concept of symbiosis can be visualized through the establishment of models and can be used as reference for regeneration of the apartment in future with the establishment of symbiosis language for common discussion. The second portion is to review the previous model. The suitability of the model and problems possibly encountered are inspected through the case study of actual design application of the model and as a reference of people interested in using this model for design.
