Government started to develop Dasyueshan area in 1953 cause the nearby Basianshan area was out of resources, which was one of three biggest forestry of Taiwan. Also decided to establish a corparation that combine forestry and processing to renew industrial structure that differ from Japanese occupation period. So Dasyueshan also called demo or model forest. Dasyueshan Sawmill was official opening in 1964. However, it was a mistake that copy American work mode because of the forest condition was totally different. Dasyueshan area die out accompanied with sawmill closed in 1973. A thought-provoking case in Taiwan forest industrial modernization. Dasyueshan sawmill was abandoned for nearly 30 years but accidentally got attention because of 921 earthquake caused widespread devastation across Dongshi. The premier suggested it should be recorded on historical architecture for its precious value, then started renovation in 2003 to be the first forest cultural center and museum to bear the industrial development of Dongshi. The important industry remains was burned and lost the main sawmill factories at May 13th midnight in 2006. The Forestry Bureau restore it to wood carving and forest cultural center based on vestige reservation and reactivation. Could it be another restoration rather than vestige reservation as a landscape history even if it was kick out of historical architecture? What I think for recovering landscape is to make a interface between industry remains and vestiges with minimum intervention, let the visitors imagine the original image by metaphor. Using the tragic beauty to reborn as abandoned landscape, and turn into positive spirit by transforming it as art museum analog.
