碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 建築系 === 106 === In the beginning of Japanese colonial period, the government promote agricultural technology and increase its productive value. Afterward, the government set up the industrial junior high school(講習所) with the institution’s cooperation. In the middle of the Japanese occupation, the government realize that Taiwanese are enthusiastically for studying then edict the education rescript to remove the difference between Japanese and Taiwanese, so that Taiwanese can receive college education(高等教育). Therefore, Taiwan has established specialized schools in various fields, including medicine, agriculture, and business studies. Among them, the Taiwan Governor Agriculture and Forestry College(臺灣總督府高等農林學校) was the pioneer of specialized agricultural education schools at the time. By collecting the literature and field observation understanding that the Japanese government change the policy and the school system of the Taiwan Governor Agriculture and Forestry College. From the literature, we have known that the establishment of the school, the changes of the location and the interaction between school and buildings. By field observation, we compare that the building’s reconstruction, the damage of the building and the condition of the usage. We also analyze and clarify the process of construction and the feature of the building. As we can know from the research results, the Taiwan Governor Agriculture and Forestry College is a school for Taiwan’s agricultural technology improvement and research. The college provide lots of experimental data, experience and human resource development what gains the important achievement. The campus was divided into two parts, one is for teaching, the other is for interning. Teaching area is using for administration, teaching and experiment. Then, interning area is for operation, recording research and setting equipments. We can understand the development process of the campus by the building constructions’ sequence. The distribution of experimental fields has a corresponding relationship with the location of the farmhouse. From the architectural form, we can realize that the Japanese government use different architectural ingredients in different period. Such as the main building type is from wooden structure evolving into brick structure, as we also know that the designer would use different methods for adapting Taiwan climate. For example, raised up the floor of the building, drainage system and vent, etc. At the same time, it’s also reflect the building style of the period. For instance, the designer decorate the building in western way or use artificial stack. The Taiwan Governor Agriculture and Forestry College is an important role for the industry development but also show the special form of the buildings.
