Description of Our Community: On every single day, monument restorers from all over the world dedicate their best efforts to helping all kinds of artifacts to regain their lost brilliance. As Taiwanese students, we decided to place the emphasis of our project on our home country, Taiwan. Looking at the gorgeous island that has nurtured us since we were born, we felt the duty and responsibility to present the original beauty of Taiwanese artifacts and architectures to the global community. For the purpose of making our project as clear and detailed as possible, every restoration project within the Taiwanese boundaries is subjected to our investigation and research. Motivated by our wish to make everything perfect, we tried our very best to produce paragraphs after paragraphs, each explaining the different elements of monument restoration, their corresponding values, and also the difficulties of restoring varying kinds of monuments all around the nation. Considering the cultural scope, our project contains even more different aspects. Architectures throughout history are constructed to satisfy human needs, no matter if it’s accommodation or other purposes. Due to this reason, almost everything that is related to humans and our daily lives is applicable to these buildings, and a monument restorer must have profound knowledge in all of these fields and details, such as masonry and visual arts, in order to thoroughly restore the glory of the monuments. Additionally, the monuments being researched by our team could date back to different time periods and are the works of varying groups of people. The different construction methods, as well as intents of the architectures make monument restoration a difficult field that might seem abstruse for the common public. Although our project includes a myriad of details within the geographic and cultural parameters of monument restoration, we would definitely organize and present the information in the nicest, clearest, and neatest manner possible.
Project Description: Just like how the English proverb goes, time is like a river. One cannot touch the same water twice because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Indeed, time is a selfish thief, who stealthily robs the brilliance and beauty of all monuments under the unawareness of the general people. To our team, monument restoration is a field that sounds mysterious but also intriguing at the same time. While time continues to fly like an arrow, these dexterous restorers present history in front of us in a completely freshened appearance, enabling the magnificence of the old times to be forever preserved. In order to accomplish these great tasks, monuments restorers incorporate modern technology into traditional methods, thereby forming an astonishing mixture of both traditional and modern heritages in their works. Even though monument restoration might sound like a dreamy, almost magical ground, such superlative workmanship is indeed the result of hard work and determination. From related regulations all the way to monument preservation, monument restorers dedicate their entire lives to making sure that everything about their construction projects is perfectly completed and that no error is present. Our project focusses on a vast multitude of aspects about monument restoration, including the classification of monuments, associations and agencies, and restoration materials, etc. Through visiting the construction projects in person, collecting information through all possible ways, and also consulting experts and professionals, our team aims to present the fullest, most detailed introduction of monument restoration to the world, and we sincerely hope that society will have a better understanding of not only the field itself but also the dedicated heroes behind it. Team Revivers from Taiwan earnestly invites all of you to join us on this journey to witness the rebirth and refurbishment of the precious cultural treasures left to us by our ancestors.
