碩士 === 中原大學 === 文化資產研究所 === 92 === The Research on System of Conservation Treatment for Paintings on Traditional Buildings in Taiwan Abstract Many Traditional Buildings in Taiwan expose to open air, and other artificial causes such as burning joss sticks, <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=candles&v=56">candles</a>, and regular schedules to recondition or clean, all damage to paintings on these Buildings at a fast pace. As a result, original paintings on Traditional Buildings become rare. Though “Culture Assets Preservation” enforced in 1982, it mainly focuses on the conservation of the architectural structure and use of interior space. With regard to conversation treatment, there is little emphasis except renovation or “do nothing” to avoid destroying original appearances. Hence, we can see little discussion about conservation treatment for Paintings on Traditional Buildings either because of distrust with conservation techniques or lack of necessary knowledge. Recently, as preservation of cultural <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=property&v=56">property</a> is gaining more and more public attention, the important role of conservation treatment on Paintings of Traditional Buildings is accepted. But researches and studies on the related techniques and methods of conservation for Paintings on Traditional Buildings remain deficient in Taiwan. In addition, records and descriptions in projects adapting conservation treatment are poorly listed. Lacking both academic and empirical references, it often misleads staff in the projects to underestimate importance of conscientious and careful <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=training&v=56">training</a> to do conservation. One problem is the belief to easily replace conservators with painting craftsmen to work on conservation treatments. In this study, we consider conservation treatments for Painting on Traditional Buildings as a mean to reserve traditional Chinese painting skill and fairy stories to good manners in this atmosphere by well planning with necessary techniques. Further, conservation treatments will last life of architectural units and create a pleasing living environment for generations. By searching and collecting projects of conservation treatment for painting in Taiwan, in <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=Europe&v=56">Europe</a> and in America, we take the advantages that correspond to our customs and needs and suggest conservation treatments shall be distinguished into: Renovation, Reconstruction, Restoration, and Conservation. A complete system for conservation treatments is suggested, and it shall includes clear definitions, purposes, principles, methods, limitations, audit systems for related staff in the projects, procedures for conservation treatment, and forms and records to keep track of conservation treatments, which can serve as a reference model for conservation treatments for Paintings on Traditional Buildings in Taiwan.
