The preservation, restoration and reuse of historical buildings become a trend under the cultural heritage preservation policy of the Council for Cultural Affairs (CCA) after the 921 Earthquake. However, due to the strained financial condition of the government, historical architecture restoration and reuse often faces insufficient funding and time. This has led to somewhat underwhelming restoration results. Taichung Municipal Office was one of the first historical architecture restoration and reuse projects of the CCA. Its restoration results have been widely been recognized, and it raised the bar for future projects. This study hopes to provide a basis for the future restoration and reuse of Taiwan’s cultural heritage, as well as government policy formation by exploring the restoration and reuse processes for Taichung Municipal Office and by reviewing related literature.Historical architecture restoration and reuse is a highly integrated and professional task that must be managed over a long period of time and involves delicate operations, so that it may preserve and promote the aesthetic and historic value of cultural heritage. The case of Taichung Municipal Office indicates that the key to whether or not the value of cultural heritage can be preserved is a restoration and reuse process based on the principle of“authenticity.”On the other hand, operational strategies, such as system utilization, time management and space management, are feasible directions for resolving dilemmas faced by historical architecture restoration and reuse. |
