Preface:
In the last ten years, Taiwan has transformed itself from a rapidly growing economy based on manufacturing into a steadily developing one based on service industries. The quest for quality has replaced quantitative expansion; this is reflected in peoples' concerns for their quality of life and environment. The general public has been paying close attention to the chaotic, crude, and profit-seeking treatment of architecture and their urban landscape, and has shown interest for a new attitude and approach.

The Government of The Republic of China, therefore, intends to integrate the resources of various public sectors, and strategically transform the natural and urban landscapes of Taiwan. The program "2008 Doubling of Tourist Arrival Plan" was initiated with the hope of significantly enhancing ecologically based tourism within the next six years. Tourism Bureau of The Ministry of Transportation and Communications has specially designated twelve packaged tour routes. Significant improvements of both their facilities and services will be implemented.
The Bureau has further selected four of these tour routes, and organized this international competition to solicit design proposals that would integrate their natural and manmade resources. These four tour routes, Sun-Moon Lake, Alishan (Mountain), North Coast, and Hengchun peninsula, are top-level tourist attractions. The winning design proposals from the competition will be carried into construction. It is hoped that the designs will invigorate these landscapes by increasing our general awareness of the environment.

Based on this strategy, the Government of R.O.C. plans to hold a series of international competition of architecture and landscape design under the title of "NEW TAIWAN BY DESIGN". Four projects included in this series are grouped as "Landform Series".
