台灣近年來舉辦多次文化類國際競圖，提供建築師一個詮釋設計概念的機會。在國際競圖中可看到建築師們多元的想法，包含議題的再定義、建築形式的創新及在地性的涵構思考。
在這個背景下，誕生一股台灣地域性主義的風潮。建築師們的多元想法給予這塊土地不同的刺激與詮釋。所謂的台灣文化在建築師們的眼中會是什麼樣子？建築師又是如何觀察當地文化與切入設計？
本研究探討目前建築師們在台灣國際競圖的發展狀況，透過概念及設計策略的分析，來探討建築師們對於台灣地域性文化的看法。進一步了解因國際競圖所帶來的文化視野及創新的建築形式對於台灣建築環境的影響，同時也了解建築師在面對台灣文化議題時的設計思維。
本研究以二零零七年至今舉辦的八個國際競圖案例為對象，分析包括概念的來源、概念的屬性及概念到形式之間的關係、概念與一致性及正當性之間的關係。試圖從分析過程中了解建築師們如何對台灣的空間下定義，觀察建築師們對於台灣文化的議題思考及操作過程。這將有助於我們深化將抽象的文化議題轉化到空間的操作過程，並對地域性建築有更進一步的思考。
透過綜合分析的結果得知：
(1)八個設計概念中，地域性及非地域性各占一半，地域性概念主要和台灣夜市文化元素及台灣自然環境有關，非地域性概念主要是從都市設計的角度切入設計。與二零零七年以前的競圖相比，出現較多的地域性概念。
(2)具象概念多為回應造型上的議題，抽象概念多為表達對都市設計的看法。建築形式常透過台灣自然環境或植物來轉化。
(3)概念大多表現於公共空間的操作。
(4)建築師們透過設計手法的突破創造出新機能空間者為多。
(5)除了台南美術館在量體上的次概念無法回應一致性，多數案例皆能回應一致性；除了台北藝術中心是透過論述來說明與周遭環境的關係，多數案例皆能回應正當性。

For the past few years, a number of international competitions have been held in Taiwan. This created a chance for architects to explain their design concepts. In addition to that, with multi-dimensions thinking, these architects have a great impact on Taiwan by bringing about new ideas, redefining issues, innovating forms, and thinking the context of the locals.
Under this circumstance, Taiwanese regionalism has been sprung up. By multi-dimensions thinking, architects have given a different stimulation and explanation about the land. What would Taiwanese culture look like from the architects’ perspectives? How would they operate their design according to their observation?
Therefore, this paper tries to discuss the development of the views of the architects in the international competitions in Taiwan. By the analysis of concepts and design processes, we can discuss the thinking of the architects about Taiwanese regionalism. This can help us to understand the influence of the different cultural viewpoints and the innovation of architecture forms that these architects brought into Taiwanese architecture. Meanwhile, this paper can help us to understand the design considerations of the architects as they face the issues related to Taiwanese culture.
With the eight international competitions held since 2007 serving as case studies, the source and characteristics of the design concepts, as well as the relationship between the concepts and the forms were analyzed, as well as the relationship between the concepts and coherence and legitimacy. This analysis helps to elucidate the way how the architects define the space of Taiwan and how they deal with thinking and operational processes toward the issues of Taiwanese culture. Moreover, it will contribute with ideas of how to convert cultural concepts into architectural forms, and to think about the Taiwanese regionalism architecture.
The results of the comprehensive analysis are as follows.
(1)In the eight design concepts, half of the concepts are derived from local sources, such as Taiwan night-market culture and natural environment, and the other half are derived from non-local sources, most of which are designed from urban design perspectives. Compared with the international competitions from the previous years ago, there are more regional concepts appearing.
(2)The concrete concepts respond to the issues of forms, and the abstract concepts respond to urban design. The architectural styles emphasize natural environment or plants in Taiwan.
(3) The concepts are mainly shown in operation at the public space.
(4) More architects create new functional spaces via breakthrough of operational ways.
(5) Except the fact that the sub-concept of the matter in the Tainan museum does not respond to the coherence and the Taipei art center respond to surrounding by dissertation, most of the case studies can respond to the coherence and legitimacy.
