    EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION Taipei, a City That Never Sleeps metropolis of international caliber, each year Taipei joins the great global celebration A of Christmas and New Year’s Eve. The joyful sounds and smells and sights of boisterous celebration fill the entire metropolis. As “Merry Christmas!” and “Happy New Year!” greetings resound, the distance between Taipei and the world noticeably shrinks. City nights sparkle with light, splendor, action, and vitality, greeting visitors from overseas with a warm Taiwan- style embrace, and inviting them to personally experience the wonderful, action-filled “City That Never Sleeps” (臺北夜未眠)! In this issue, we bring you to the city’s frontlines for fashion. We bring you “Taipei’s Manhattan” (臺北的曼哈頓), the Xinyi Commercial District, a grand bazaar home to upscale department stores, the massive exhibition halls of the Taipei World Trade Center, chic restaurants, sleek theaters, steamy nightspots, and many other examples of the international- caliber voguish vanguard. Here is a veritable pleasure vault of shopping and leisure- entertainment stimulation. Taipei 101 and the eslite Xinyi flagship bookstore, the largest bookstore in this country, are just two of the numerous iconic architectural sirens that draw you in with their magnetic allure. Within Taipei 101, you’ll find OTOP, a hall selling and displaying the finest of Taiwan’s regional handicraft and food items; here you will find the quintessential “flavors” of this land, a perfect place to pick up Taiwan mementoes and gift items. In this issue, we also prime you with details on the myriad Parade Carnival (遊行嘉年華) and New Year’s activities in December, both organized by the Taipei City Government.

Liang-Gui Yu1* 1 Graduate Institute of Building and Planning, National Taiwan University * Corresponding Author, Email: [email protected] Received: February 15, 2018; Accepted: January 10, 2019 Key words: Iconology, City Image, Urban Regeneration Abstract: Taipei city is the capital of Taiwan, and the city government has applied to host several international events since 2000. Meanwhile, mayors have proposed the slogan “axis retroflexion” indicating the urban regeneration of old town areas. In July 2016, the city government and the National Geographic Channel started a documentary project “Inside: Reinventing Taipei” that cost 5 million NTD for the propaganda of the upcoming Taipei Universiade 2017. The narratives in the documentary indicate the interweaving of historical and modern city images. In this research, the development history of western Taipei is reviewed, and several official and non-official advertisements, movies, music videos, landscape architecture, events, and policy plans are chosen as texts to analyse the representation of the city images of western Taipei (Zhongzheng and Wanhua districts) under an iconological approach. To understand how those city images were produced, various aspects of urban politics and power are explored through this research. It is found that specific buildings and places, such as Chiang Kai- Shek Memorial Hall, the North Gate, the Red House Theatre, Longshan temple, and the Ximending shopping area, appeared in those texts frequently, epitomizing the development history of Western Taipei and policies across different periods.

The Japanese acquired Taiwan in 1895 after the First Sino-Japanese War and made Taipei the island’s capital. The Republic of China took over the island in 1945 after Japan’s defeat in World War II. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek declared Taipei the provisional capital of the Republic of China in December 1949 after Kuomintang (KMT) was defeated by Communists during the Chinese Civil War. The KMT retreated to Taiwan and the jurisdiction of the Republic of China was limited to Taiwan while the Communist Party founded the People’s Republic of China in mainland China. 1709 1875 1894 1895 1945 1960 1990 2007 Han Chinese began to In 1875, the northern Taipei remained a tem- As settlement for los- Upon the Japanese de- Taipei was the capital In the following year, On September 30, 2007, settle in the Taipei Ba- part of Taiwan was porary provincial capital ing the Sino-Japanese feat in the Pacific War of Taiwan Province un- Taipei City expanded the ruling Democratic sin in 1709. separated from Taiwan before it officially be- War, China ceded the and its consequent sur- til the 1960s when the again by annexing Shilin, Progressive Party ap- Prefecture and incorpo- came the capital of Tai- entire island of Taiwan render in August 1945, provincial administration Beitou, Neihu, Nangang, proved a resolution as- rated into the new Tai- wan in 1894.

    Müh 100 Mühendisliğe Giriş

    CHAPTER 1 THE ENGINEER 1.1. INTRODUCTION The root of the word “engineer” derives from “engine” and “ingenious” both of which come from the Latin root “ingenerate” meaning “to create”. “Mühendis” in Turkish derives from “hendese” which means “geometry” and thus mühendis is the one who makes dimensional calculations. “Hendesehane” means “School of Engineering”. Engineers are individuals who combine knowledge of science, mathematics and economics to solve technical problems that confront society. Main difference between scientists and engineers is the cost analysis. Early in human history, there were no formal schools to teach engineering. Early engineers were those, “Alaylı” in Turkish, who had a gift for manipulating the physical world to achieve a practical goal. Often, it would be learned through apprenticeship with experienced practitioners. Current engineers are educated, “Okullu” in Turkish, in mathematics, science and economics. According to ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, USA) engineers must demonstrate that they have: (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering, (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data, (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs, (d) an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams, (e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems, (f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility, (g) an ability to communicate effectively, (h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context, (i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning, (j) a knowledge of contemporary issues, (k) an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
