"NEW
TAIWAN BY DESIGN" INTERNATIONAL
COMPETITION -"LANDFORM SERIES" for Tour Routes of Sun-Moon
Lake, Alishan, North Coast & Hengchun Peninsula
PREFACE
In the last ten years, Taiwan has transformed itself from a rapidly
growing economy based on manufacturing into a steadily developing
one based on service industries. The quest for quality has replaced
quantitative expansion; this is reflected in peoples°¶
concerns for their quality of life and environment. The general
public has been paying close attention to the chaotic, crude,
and profit-seeking treatment of architecture and their urban
landscape, and has shown interest for a new attitude and approach.
The Government of The Republic
of China, therefore, intends to integrate the resources of various
public sectors, and strategically transform the natural and urban
landscapes of Taiwan. The program "2008 Doubling of Tourist
Arrival Plan" was initiated with the hope of significantly
enhancing ecologically based tourism within the next six years.
Tourism Bureau of The Ministry of Transportation and Communications
has specially designated twelve packaged tour routes. Significant
improvements of both their facilities and services will be implemented.
The Bureau has further selected four of these tour routes, and
organized this international competition to solicit design proposals
that would integrate their natural and manmade resources. These
four tour routes, Sun-Moon Lake, Alishan (Mountain), North Coast,
and Hengchun peninsula, are top-level tourist attractions. The
winning design proposals from the competition will be carried
into construction. It is hoped that the designs will invigorate
these landscapes by increasing our general awareness of the environment.
Based on this strategy, the Government
of R.O.C. plans to hold a series of international competition
of architecture and landscape design under the title of "NEW
TAIWAN BY DESIGN". Four projects included in this series
are grouped as "Landform Series".
