[PURPOSE] The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between the mythology of Taiwanese aborigines and the traditional housing culture, and to examine the aspect of the myth reflected in real life by revealing the link between the myth and the traditional housing.
[CONTENTS] The living space is a museum in itself as it contains the entirety of human life. In particular, housing culture comprehensively embodies the culture of a region, such as a society's lifestyle, values, aesthetic sense, family system, technological level, geography and climate. However, research on traditional housing in Taiwan is relatively incomplete and limited. It plays a complementary role in understanding Taiwanese culture and its cultural characteristics in that the composition of housing types is not limited to physical phenomena. To this end, research on traditional housing culture is approached from various and three- dimensional perspectives.
[RESULTS] The traditional dwellings of Taiwanese aborigines are characterized by nature- friendly aspects, horizontal structures of living spaces, and independent kitchens. Here, it is confirmed that various aspects of the mythology of Taiwan's aboriginal people are reflected. As a result, it complements the limitations of existing research results that have been discussing mythology and traditional housing culture as separate subjects, and confirms the harmony between gods and humans, and humans and nature.
