Characteristic
Mission
 

¡@¡@Chaoyang University of Technology is located in Wufeng, Taichung County. Its location places Chaoyang University of Technology in the metropolitan area of Taichung. Because of its urban planning, outstanding geographical environment, and hard-working citizens, this area has transformed its economy from an agriculture base to a commercial and service base. However, like many other cities in Taiwan, successful transformations have prioritized commercial profit and neglected environmental protection resulting in a worsening of the quality of life in metropolitan areas and destruction of the ecosystem. Industrial development in central Taiwan has grown rapidly and the metropolitan area of Taichung is constantly under construction and development. Urbanization is increasing rapidly resulting in the hasty expansion of the metropolitan area. The area is now experiencing intense environmental and socio-economic transformation. Unless issues are addressed properly and planning is done, many urban management problems will arise that will bring about far-reaching consequences to the future development of the central region.

¡@¡@The long-term development of metropolitan Taichung has caused joint problems for city and county administrators. In the process of urbanization, many issues related to population, use of land, traffic, industry, public facilities, public damage prevention and environmental pollution, financial resources for urban infrastructure, administrative organizing and spatial planning systems have arisen. Relevant government agencies are in need of talented urban and architectural planning and design professionals holding doctoral degrees to research and draft appropriate improvement policies so that the quality of urban life and living environment can be raised. The goals of the Graduate Institute of Architecture and Urban Design are:

   
 
In recent years, our economy has grown rapidly and our society has made progress and become more prosperous. In order to keep pace with the development of modern cities and raise the quality of the living environment, the government now has urgent tasks to face related to architectural and urban planning. At the same time, cultivating professional talent to lead Taiwan towards sound architectural and urban development and to meet the needs of future development in metropolitan areas has become very important.
   
In the near future, the central region will become a key part of the Asia-Pacific Logistics Center. It is estimated that the need for architectural and urban planning professionals will increase. At the same time, subjects related to urban design are receiving more and more attention, but there is no such kind of professional training in other graduate schools of architecture in Taiwan. We thus conclude that there is a need for cultivating high-level architecture and urban design personnel to meet the demand for human resources as a result of regional prosperity and environmental development.
   
  ¡@¡@A higher vocational education covers a wide range of subjects. It encompasses the humanities, social sciences, and the natural and applied sciences and seeks to balance different interests. Students are taught basic knowledge of many subjects, and then receive more in-depth training depending on their area of interest to develop their potential and gain professional knowledge. With our solid group of faculty members, abundant equipment and resources, and our systematic curriculum, we hope to raise the level of education in the areas of architecture, urban design and land distribution and use and contribute with high-level architectural and urban design personnel to our country and society.
   
Objectives
  ¡@¡@The Graduate Institute of Architecture and Urban Design of Chaoyang University of Technology is the first graduate institute in the vocational education system in Taiwan. The objective of the Institute is to cultivate architectural and urban designers who are capable of managing projects and have a humanistic perspective. Apart from offering professional training that students can put into practice, the Institute can also help future government and city development personnel increase their knowledge and raise their levels in practice.
   
Future Development
  ¡@¡@We consider students¡¦ interests and goals, assess their basic knowledge and potential, and teach them advanced techniques in architecture, architectural design, and urban design so that they can become:
   
 
Professionals in architecture and urban design who are capable of leading planning and design projects independently.
   
Professionals who can offer suggestions to decision makers to raise the quality and effectiveness of government urban development policies that result in the sound development of cities.
In light of the statement above, the key subjects of the Institute include:
 
1. History and Theory of Architecture
2. Architectural Planning and Design
