| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 建築研究所 === 104 === Monumentality is one of the ambition of eternal human spirit. In the history of Western architecture, the pyramids, churches, obelisks, etc, These great cultural heritages represent the seeking of monumentality. However, most of the monuments in history are only parts of a great plan by the planners. To the public, the essence of these purposes are not easily understood. This paper is based on the scope of Sigfried Giedion's, an architectural theorist's idea. The discussion of modern monumentality is to believe that modern monumentality should be a continuation of collective experience. In addition, this may appear as their internal life, an extension of people's action, the concept of sociality symbols. After the contemplation of the plight of modern Asian cities, the establishment of "Monumentality of Time" in today's development has become urgent in this rapid development of urban space. The necessity of the idea of "time perception" is utilized to establish a collective memory in order to compensate the loss of spatial memory in the modern society. On the basis of this, one then creates new monuments in different scale of time-slicing for strengthening the sense of identity of modern city.
These new monuments break the one-form of top to down planning commemorative in the past. They transformed it into a loose, organic and personal experience according to the phenomenon / matters / events. In particular, the sense of time can be linked to their own memories and experiences and thus becomes a collective memory of the people that gather, the willingness of the collective memory and the achievements of the eternal monumentality of the city. This allows the place, time, and people to have a unique meaning. By hoping and commemorate the pureness of time, the perception of phenomenon / matter / event in the past can exist in life experience and re-establish people's perception in the past / present / future in the frame of modern coordinate system in modern city.
