再論日治時期臺灣官方營繕組織

Restudy of the Government’s Building Department during the Period of Japanese Rule in Taiwan

台灣總督府公文檔案，乃由諸多檔案群所構成，且公文中包含的建築圖面及仕樣書等，可能由不同官方營繕組織所作成。欲理解不同檔案群、或由不同官方營繕組織作成的公文，是否具有相同的論述基礎，本研究整理各檔案群中既存史料之作成背景及作成組織。再透過營繕組織內職員學經歷資料之整理，藉以理解各營繕組織人員之組成特徵。由官制上的研究可發現，並非所有的官方營繕組織，均受到中央營繕組織的監督管轄。而各營繕組織中的大部分營繕技師，雖多由中央營繕組織轉任、或與中央營繕組織人員有交際上的關係，但此並非相關人員成為各營繕組織技師的必要因素。因此，本研究認為，欲引用台灣總督府公文檔案中的圖面、公文書及仕樣書等史料，仍應考慮製作各圖面的組織及其營繕人員的背景因素。

Blueprints and specifications from the Official Documents of the Former Taiwanese Governor General’s Office are considered to be important materials about the architectural history of Taiwan. The problem is that although the blueprints and specifications might have bee utilized by different government offices, some former studies treated them as a unified collection, interpreting the building characteristics of different blueprints as an evolutionary sequence of the construction of Taiwanese official buildings. The goal of this study is to investigate whether blueprints utilized by different government offices could be considered as a unified collection, and to discuss the hierarchical relationships among the Minister of Building and Repairs of the Taiwanese Governor General’s Office (MBRTG), the county governments, and the Taiwanese army. In contrast of some former studies, the results show that not all of the official sub-architectural departments were administrated by MBRTG. In addition, not all of the officers in different official sub-architectural departments had working experience in MBRTG. According to the findings, future research regarding the blueprints and specifications should consider both the diversity of and the relationships among different official sub-architectural departments and their officers.
