碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 建築系 === 104 === In 1928, Japanese merged original Taipei Agricultural School including its’ dormitories into founding Taipei Imperial University called National Taiwan University today. In Japanese-occupied period, Japanese style dormitories for faculty and staff in National Taiwan University was built and promoted by the government of Japan. After the integration, the government of Japan set the laws of dormitory building to solve the problems of living. They wanted to use a special building fee to build the dormitories, but they acquired lands hard due to higher price. In order to deal with shortage of dormitories, the president of Taipei Imperial University established a college dormitory team which was for dormitory promotion. Because members of the team could design and build their own houses with personal needs, dormitories became various and characteristic. What is more, Taipei Imperial University merged Medicine School later including its’ dormitories so that some of them were built earlier than others. This research focuses on Japanese style dormitories built by government and college dormitory team for faculty and staff in National Taiwan University, and collects their previous literature before 1945. The research gathers and analyzes the data for 25 areas of dormitory in 1945, such as their backgrounds, locations, and architecture characters, etc. By observing the previous studies, we can know the architecture development in different conditions like residents and laws. The research shows, dormitories merged from original organization and built before 1912 are featured and convenient for life near the Taipei City due to building earlier than the laws of dormitory building. On the other hand, dormitories built by Taipei Imperial University after 1928 are consistent with the laws of dormitory building and near Taipei Imperial University. By the contrast, as a result of building with personal needs, dormitories built by college dormitory team are various and characteristic of interior space. At present, the earliest dormitories merged from Taipei Agricultural School and Medicine School are ruined and difficult with keeping. Nevertheless, other dormitories’ condition is better because professor and assistant professor still live in those dormitories after the war. Thanks to unique architecture characters and the mood of the whole community, dormitories can be included in historic buildings.
