英国现在仍保有大多数维多利亚式风格的建筑，红砖墙的外观、设计一致的格局看上去给人们一种高贵典雅的气息，再加上看着杂志或旅游节目在介绍英国的百年古堡，更是让我从小到大都很喜欢英国。

2013年人生第一次到英国旅行，距今已有一段时间， 但仍然记得第一次进入到仿佛电影里才会出现的建筑内激动与兴奋的心情，对当时第一次到欧洲的我可以说是大开眼界了，因为除了从新闻媒体得知外，在台湾基本上很难见到类似的建筑。

近百年的台湾先后曾被荷兰、日本统治，所以建筑文化多元，大致上可分为原住民建筑、洋楼建筑、和风建筑及现代建筑。

原住民是台湾最早出现的人们，每一个族群都有属于自己的文化特色，建筑的兴建方式也有所不同;目前，台湾仍有几个地方可以见到洋楼与和风建筑，例如:淡水红毛城和总统府;然而，近代的建筑物主要是以台湾的本土文化为主题，建造一个属于台湾自己的风格，例如:国立传统艺术中心。

英國現在仍保有大多數維多利亞式風格的建築，紅磚牆的外觀、設計一致的格局看上去給人們一種高貴典雅的氣息，再加上看著雜誌或旅遊節目在介紹英國的百年古堡，更是讓我從小到大都很喜歡英國。

近百年的台灣先後曾被荷蘭、日本統治，所以建築文化多元，大致上可分為原住民建築、洋樓建築、和風建築及現代建築。

Diverse Architectural Styles in Taiwan
Many of the Victorian buildings are still preserved today in the UK. The exterior appearance and consistent design of the red brick walls seem to create a noble and elegant atmosphere. When I was a child, reading magazines or watching travel programs introducing those ancient castles in Great Britain always made me want to visit the country.
In the year of 2013, I travelled to the UK for the first time in my life. Although it has been a while, I still remember the excitement the first time I entered the building that seems to only appear in a film. It was an eye-opening experience because it is difficult to see similar buildings in Taiwan, except on the news media.
In the past, Taiwan has been ruled by both the Netherlands and Japan. Therefore, the architectural style is diverse here and people can see aboriginal elements, western-style, Japanese-style and modern-style buildings all mixing together in a Taiwanese urban landscape.
Aboriginal is the first group of people arrived in Taiwan, and then joined by many other ethnicities that arrived later. Each ethnic group has its own cultural characteristics and their ways of construction are also different.
Currently, there are still several historical sites in Taiwan that are built in Western or Japanese style, such as Fort San Domingo and the Presidential Office Building respectively.
On the other hand, more and more new buildings are built according to Taiwanese native culture, featuring a style that only belongs to Taiwan. One of the most classic examples can be found in Yilan, the National Centre for Traditional Arts.
