The Comparative Study On Architectural Space And Environment Of Primary And Secondary Schools Between Taiwan And The Mainland Of China

"Education is the foundation of a nation".Since China implemented the strategy of "revitalizing the nation through science and education",with the increasing investment ratio in education,the Elementary Education Reform has become one of the most popular topic in recent years and the mainland has also ushered in the architectural design of primary and secondary schools in the new period of transformation.Meanwhile,Taiwan has gradually got rid of the KMT authoritarian system and constantly accepted the upgraded education idea with open attitude.As a result,the architecture design of school buildings also highlight humanity and diversification trend,especially in the primary and secondary schools whose architectural space and environment change most.The combination of participatory design(PD)and education courses has greatly inspired the students' imagination and creativity,as well as tremendously improved the campus environment;the utilization of small class system promoted the generation of various types of classroom space,like Learning Corner and class group,and then also brought more colorful campus courtyard space.During the application process,the concept of open education is universally popularized.In the mainland,the concepts of "quality education" and"humanistic education" impose higher standards on the architectural space and environment of campus buildings,because the existing status cannot meet the new teaching idea.Urgent reforms and innovation need to be carried out in terms of the architectural space and environment of campus buildings.At present,a small number of schools begin to launch small-scale exploration and research,but there is still a large gap compared with the Taiwan area.The concept of education and the development direction are consistent on both sides of the Taiwan Strait,so the reform on the architectural space and environment of primary and secondary school buildings can provide valuable reference for mainland.In this background,this paper is to provide exploratory comments and suggestion on the reform of the architectural space and environment and to make a theoretical contribution to create a campus space more conducive to students' comprehensive development in the future by comparative studies on architectural space and environment of primary and secondary schools between Taiwan and the Mainland of China to learn excellent experience from Taiwan.This paper mainly discusses the following research contents:(1)This paper is to find the similarities and common points of contemporary and modern campus architecture between Taiwan and the mainland,by comparing the development courses of their architectural spaces and environments;(2)The architectural spaces:based on investigation and literature,the paper introduces and analyzes the present situation of architectural spaces in primary and middle schools on both sides of the Taiwan Strait,to put forward the problems of architectural spaces occurred in transition.Learning from Taiwan's experience,the paper explores to propose optimization measures for architectural spaces in primary and middle schools with the concept of quality education and humanistic education;(3)The campus environments:this paper summarizes the features of the campus environment in primary and secondary schools from Taiwan through the introduction of participatory design and its actual case analysis.In terms of the existing problems in primary and middle school campus environment and combined with advantages of relative campus environments in Taiwan,,the paper exploratively presents related design suggestions for the current and future development of campus environments in the mainland.
