如欲謀求和平,請先理解戰爭 Sir Basil Henry Liddell Hart 七十年前的臺灣大轟炸,改寫了臺灣歷史。當時臺灣是屬於日本殖民地,因為國際情勢和戰略位置,被迫捲入戰爭,付出慘烈代價。然而,戰後政權轉變,國民政府刻意宣揚「中國八年抗戰」的教育政策下,臺灣人記憶漸次有著認知上的迷惑:太平洋戰爭時,空襲臺灣造成家園損毀人民傷亡的飛機,到底是哪國的飛機?從哪飛來?轟炸的目的是什麼?

1945年5月31日,二戰邁入尾聲,盟軍對臺北發動猛烈空襲。臺北各地陷入一片火海,象徵日本統治的總督府也遭炸彈命中。許多建築在空襲中毀損,民眾大量傷亡,也成為當時臺灣人難以抹滅的記憶。幾十年過去,臺灣的歷史記憶,卻被置換為「抗戰勝利」或是「二戰英勇的空軍」形象,今年七月中華民國空軍甚至還要進行「紀念抗戰勝利70週年戰力展示」(http://www.ettoday.net/news/20150414/492539.htm)。
歷史記憶矛盾錯亂的臺灣,自己的節日只能自己紀念,

武藏野美術大學圖書館

位於東京近郊的武藏野美術大學,其圖書館最早啟用於1967年,2010年起由建築師藤本壯介設計現在的新館,結合美術館、圖書館、民俗資料和圖像資料庫於一體,佔地九千多坪。最大的特色是以9公尺高的書架做為建築設計主體,甚至延伸到館外空間。
建築本身有三層樓(B1-2F),二樓以書籍森林為概念,透光的天花板增加自然採光,書架排列採用迷宮般的螺旋配置,添加空間靈活度。10萬冊的書籍分別根據主題區,放在隨手可得的高度,讓讀者彷彿在知識的森林中,不經意地遇上各式各樣的書種。書區檢索的標示上,為保有漫遊的趣味,以圓形圖示標記書區位置,線條長度代表所在地和書區之間的距離。二樓可直接通往隔壁美術館和視覺資料庫,其中收藏大量電影動畫。
回到圖書館一樓,除了主要提供學生研究空間和資料中心使用之外,期刊雜誌區有設計、建築、電影、戲劇、影視、攝影、時尚、文學等500多個國內外刊物,另有收藏海內外展覽目錄、繪本、表演藝術紀錄影像和書籍展示區。此外圖書館內的Book Touch設計,只要掃描書碼,螢幕上就會顯示相關書籍、推薦書籍、同作者書籍和相同主題的人氣書籍等資料。地下室則是收藏歷史古書的特別書庫。
武藏野美大圖書館,能引發你對知識探索的興趣嗎?

Five reasons why you should visit Birmingham

Five reasons why you should visit Birmingham

Posted 5 months ago by in news
The Rough Guide travel publisher has named Birmingham as one of the top 10 cities in the world to visit in 2015. Here are some of the reasons for giving the city a coveted spot on the list.

Diversity

This cultural melting pot is home to a diverse range of people and communities. According to the 
2011 census, 42 per cent of Birmingham’s population is non-white and 94 languages are in use, including Creole, Luganda and Yiddish.

Industry

Billed as ‘the city of 1,001 trades’, Birmingham was at the forefront of the Industrial Revolution. James Watt, Matthew Boulton and Joseph Priestley formed the Lunar Society in the 1700s and gas lighting is said to have been invented there.

Illustrious residents

Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai was flown to Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital for life-saving surgery in 2012 after she was shot by the Taliban and now lives in the city with her family.

Culture

Birmingham is renowned for its Symphony Hall, which is considered one of the best in the world, and Ikon Gallery, a contemporary art venue. The Library of Birmingham recently opened, built at a cost of £189m.

Accent

The distinctive Brummie accent was deemed the most unattractive in the UK in a recent YouGov poll of British adults. But judging by the number of foreign tourists who flock to the city, the locals’ unique twang just adds to its charm.
