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 (for detailed information, please refer to the web sites of Tourism Bureau: www.taiwan.net.tw).

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". The Project was initiated by Executive Yuan and executed by Tourism Bureau, Ministry of Transportation and Communications. 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. It is also hoped that these series of competitions will help to enhance the qualities of public facilities and spaces, as well as our overall environment.

Following the Landform Series, the Bureau Is announcing the second series titled with "Gateway Series" that include five projects related with transportation facilities. These five projects are (1) Keelung Maritime Plaza, (2) Taipei Main Station Area, (3) Chang Kai-Shek International Airport, Terminal I Redevelopment Plan, (4) Tainan National Anping Harbor Historic Park, Recreational Wharf, (5) Kaohsiung Maritime Gateway. It is hoped that these originally function-oriented transportation facilities may also come up to the mission of providing gateway Image of the country and the cities as well as public dimensions with good quality.
