Abstract

I. Taipei, under Urban Planning:
Under the urban structure of the land use zoning, people's activities and living spaces adhere to the transportation network. Quickly observing the history of the development of living space from the original Dadaocheng Wharf in Taipei (maritime transport) to the development of railways, goods moving fast in the essential development area of the city, urban population density gathering fast and diffusing from the train station, it forms a significant indicator of urban development. The development of roads and expressways symbolizes the autonomous movement of general light passenger vehicle. And, the urban traffic level and network relations are getting closer and more complex; thus, it is found from these studies that the change of pattern of logistics is the closest element between the traffic factor and the living space. We then take into account the possibility of the next non-human  factor’s intervention in a  city, i.e., Internet. The internet architecture has changed our knowledge of spaces. Information / transfer / receipt have become an important operation model for the Internet of Things. In Taipei City under the Transit Oriented Development (TOD), we also found problems of development, including the deficient integration of ground space with underground space, the exceedingly high density of transportation networks, the inability to elastically use the land, etc. Thus, we began to explore the correlation between traffic factor (logistics) and urban life in order to solve the problem of public space in Taipei today, and indicated the impact of architecture due to the pattern of logistics (space form / business model / building internal path / movement model / technology model)
