Description of Our Community: Located in the Taipei Basin, Taipei is not only the most populous city in Taiwan, but also the hub of the commerce, politics, culture and media. Taipei is saddled with the adequate facility, such as expressway, Mass Rapid Transit System, and Bus way. The renewal of the city is continuously in process. All the modernization of Taipei City is speeding beyond our expectation and this is the city in which we live! However, with the change of the environment and the development of urbanization, Taipei, a city that has ample rainfall, faces a severe problem of water shortage. According to the research published by the United Nations, Taiwan list in the 18th country that will face the severe shortage of water resource. And this really worries us. In 1970, the global crisis of resource leads the trend of green building. The environmental awareness arouses and emphasizes on the concept that human being co-exist with environment peacefully. Taipei ,as the capital of Taiwan, takes great efforts on project of the green building. For instance, the library of Beitou, green building of Tzi-Chi and Taipei Floral Expo Plaza, Xinsheng Park Area all earn a Diamon Award of Green building. This is a modern, technology and environment-friendly city where we live.
Project Description: The earth is sick. The weird change of the climate and allocation of water resources makes part of the region suffers from water shortage while other part of wails by floods. All these things leads the enhancement of the price of grains, fluctuation of the price of commodities. We can foresee the crisis of food and water shortage. ow to reserve and make the best allocation of water is the most vital thing in our modern society. Taipei, the most modern city which is filled with the building in Taiwan, was lack of green building which has the function of preserving water and heat radiation in past. This poses threats to our environment because of severe global warming which threatens our ecosystem. Thus, through the modernization of the urban architecture, we can preserve the water resource and effectively apply it. Green building refers to a structure and using process that is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. This practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort. Thus, it is the best way to balance water resources and environment. We hope to arouse the environment awareness of the public through this study which centers on global warming, floods and ecosystem. In this way, we can pass the lasting good quality environment to our next generation.
