The process of colonization, modernization and acculturation has led to the destruction of Taiwan’s Aboriginal traditional architecture which has been almost replaced by brick or reinforced concrete structures. During 1980s the Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village (FACV) and the Taiwan Indigenous Culture Park (TICP) were developed to represent Taiwan’s Aboriginal architectural heritage. Even though these two sites were not established on real Aboriginal heritage sites, the representations of the replicated villages and houses convey the information of Taiwan’s Aboriginal architectural heritage. Focusing on the Han Chinese visitors, this study explores how the visitors recall variant memories and generate meanings through the manifestation of sense of place and time upon the representations of the two sites. Based on the interview data, four patterns of visitors’ responses are attributed and analyzed. Firstly, the Han Chinese visitors who had the experience of visiting actual Aboriginal villages, the representations became comparable versions to what they perceived in actual Aboriginal villages. Secondly, based on the sense of nostalgia, the Han Chinese visitors recalled the memories of childhood life or the experiences of visits to countryside from perceiving the representations. Thirdly, for the Han Chinese visitors who visited the two sites for gathering information, the representations provided a three-dimensional milieu for understanding Aboriginal architectural culture. Fourthly, for certain individuals, the representations triggered them to remember specific events or persons from their life. The study findings show that, for the first pattern of visitors who had the experiences of visiting real Aboriginal villages, and the third pattern of visitors with educational purpose, the visit generated significant meanings and interrelationship with Taiwan’s Aboriginal architectural heritage. For the other two patterns of visitors, their memories recalled and meanings generated basically according to his or her own life experiences and sense of nostalgia. |
