裝飾藝術(Art D?co)風格的氛圍空間－以亞都飯店室內設計個案分析探討

[[abstract]]This study aims to investigate the development and the application of Art Deco as a style to space design between the 1910s and the 1930s in Taiwan. It particularly takes the space design of The Landis Taipei Hotel as a case study for this research. Art Deco developed from design as an art movement in France. It came into vogue for decoration in Europe and USA in the 1920s and the 1930s, and flourished in architecture in USA about the same period. This movement was further introduced into Shanghai in the eastern coast of China and developed up as the famous ‘Shanghai style’. During that period Taiwan was a colonial society ruled by the authority of the Japanese Empire which had also received the effect of Art Deco. The elements of “luxury” and “exquisiteness” found in this style are seen to be the spirits Art Deco pursued. The applications of multi-culture, classical forms and modern material, geometrical forms of decoration, and art of mechanical age all contribute to shape Art Deco as a great vogue of international importance. Design as a whole is a field that derives ideas from living culture and arts, and possesses a nature of high practicality. This research therefore focuses on investigating the style of Art Deco itself and its historical background. It will not emphasize on the history of the development of Art Deco in Taiwan, but it will examine how this particular style influences on design industry and how it was used to create a space aura in general. This research examines the interior design of The Landis Taipei Hotel which is regarded to have manipulated Art Deco in the 1960s. Two main points are listed as below: 1. How did Art Deco movement influence architecture and interior designs in Taiwan? And how did foreign culture contribute to shape an atmosphere of a space aura? 2. How were the strategies applied by the designers and the owner of the hotel to fulfill the key spirit Art Deco pursued? And how did the Hotel manage the place by adding “aura space” in restaurants to bring in a luxury, elegant and modern atmosphere to their customers. This research is done by information gathering of the historical background along with interviews with the Hotel managers, and personal visits of the scene. This research may contribute fresh arguments on understanding the development of Art Deco in general and the idea of Space Aura specifically in Taiwan. Key Word：Art Deco, Aura, Interior Design,
