留日臺籍建築師徐迺欣與他的時代：聚焦1943年〈朝日日記〉

徐迺欣（1919-1969）為日治時期留學日本、二戰後於臺灣執業的臺籍建築師；在臺灣近代建築史的陳述中，他是未曾被留意的建築師，甚至可以說是一位十分「尋常」的建築專業者。然而也正因其尋常的人物像，在充滿特例的建築史論述中顯得格外重要，能提供我們描繪更真實的「臺灣建築師」形象。本文聚焦徐迺欣於1943年記錄之日記，透過爬梳日記內容掌握戰前日本實業教育中建築科學生的真實學習樣貌，也進一步探究留日臺籍建築師養成之內涵。透過本文可知，除專業課程外，戰間期的實業學校學生的思想教育、戰爭準備教育也都融入在日常學習中；從日記細節推敲而知實業學校體系出身的徐迺欣對文學、哲學保有高度興趣的同時，其養成教育更可能因指導教員藏田周忠而與西歐近代建築發展接軌，此點改寫過往對於臺籍建築家的刻板印象。更深刻的則是由於日本近代建築教育對於「自我」認識的強調，徐迺欣也因此進一步意識「臺灣」，在其所迎接由中國籍建築師主導的戰後臺灣建築發展中，臺灣主體意識的抬頭別具意義。此外，過去臺灣近代建築史論述長期對於臺籍建築師的不重視，可以說是臺灣近代建築史研究始終留有的缺憾，本文企圖補白臺灣近代建築史的遺漏，也期待喚起對於臺籍建築師研究的關心。

Syu Naisin (1919-1969) was a Taiwanese architect who studied in Japan during the Japanese colonial period and later practiced in Taiwan after World War II. In Taiwan’s history of modern architecture, Syu received little attention and was considered rather“ordinary”in his profession. However, it is precisely because of his unassuming character that he holds exceptional importance in the modern history of Taiwanese architecture, characterized by its uniqueness and exceptions. His understated presence allows for a more realistic portrayal of“Taiwanese architects.”This study focuses on Syu’s 1943 diary, aiming to uncover the authentic learning experiences of architectural students in Japan’s pre-war industrial education system.
Analyzing the diary details reveals that during the interwar period, students in industrial schools not only engaged in routine professional courses but also integrated ideological education and war preparation into their daily learning. Moreover, it can be inferred that Syu, despite receiving industrial education, maintained a keen interest in literature and philosophy. Furthermore, under the mentorship of Kurata Chikatada, his education aligned with the development of Western European architecture, challenging prevailing stereotypes of Taiwanese architects.
More profoundly, influenced by the emphasis on self-awareness in modern Japanese architectural education, Syu also developed a heightened consciousness of“Taiwan.”The emergence of Taiwan’s subjectivity holds particular significance in the post-war architectural development in Taiwan, led by Chinese architects. The longstanding neglect of Taiwanese architects in discussion on Taiwan’s modern architectural history remains a persistent regret in architectural research. This study aims to address these gaps and spark renewed interest in researching Taiwanese architects.
