會中 Nils Larsson也多次提及台灣的努力,包含對政府的影響力以及地方政府的參與推動,其中在高雄地區的研討會以及教育訓練,配合台灣部分建築應用SB Tool的評估,並積極轉化SB Tool為台灣應用版本的努力獲得多次的讚揚,並對台灣引領亞洲趨勢抱持極大的期待,本次會議在圓滿的氣氛下結束,而祐生團隊在會議中也積極表達出專業的參與以及對iiSBE的貢獻期許。
During the conference, Nils Larsson mentioned the efforts made by Taiwan on several occasions including influence on the government as well as local government participation and support. The symposiums and training in Kaohsiung, the use of SB Tool to evaluate buildings in Taiwan, and the aggressive effort to localize SB Tool for Taiwan all received much praise. Nils also expressed his high expectations on Taiwan's leadership in Asia. The conference ended on a very successful note and the Archilife team actively demonstrated their professional engagement as well as their hopes of making a contribution to the iiSBE.
下午在理事會議圓滿結束後,考察團一行前往格拉茲北面,標高473公尺的城堡山(Schlossberg)進行考察。該處已被列為城堡遺址保護公園,考察團一行搭電車上山,由於格拉茲市是圍繞城堡山修建,從山上俯瞰,眼見莫爾河(Mur)貫穿城市,區分為新、舊城區,山下由英國建築師Peter Cook和Colin Fournier設計的「格拉茲藝術館(Kunsthaus)」、位於莫爾河中由美國建築師Vito Acconci設計的「莫爾島(Insel in Der Mur)」、1806年建的市政廳、城堡皇宮、大小建築、紅瓦屋頂以及貫穿城區的大街小巷一覽無遺,是欣賞這座1998年獲選為「2003年歐洲文化之都」,以及1999年登錄「世界文化遺產名錄」城市之最佳地點。此外,綠意盎然的城堡山也是當地居民絕佳的休閒與爬山健行處所,一路上都能見到當地民眾悠游其間。考察團一行沿著石梯逐級而下,大夥於山腳下的咖啡座分享今日出席iiSBE理事會議及城堡山考察心得後,隨興沿著市區小巷及河岸步行回下榻旅館,由另一個角度欣賞方才從山上俯瞰的藝術館、莫爾島、市政廳等建築,並結束當日豐富的行程。
After the successful conclusion of the AGM in the afternoon, the delegation traveled north from Graz to visit Schlossberg, Castle Hill which is located 473 meters above the sea level. The area has now been designated a public park and the delegation went up the mountain by electric train. As the city of Graz was built around Schlossberg, when you look down from the mountain you can see the Mur River that divides the new and old districts. The sights included the "Kunsthaus" gallery designed by British architects Peter Cook and Colin Fournier, at the foot of the mountain, the "Insel in Der Mur" designed by American architect Vito Acconci, in the center of the Mur River, the City Hall built in 1806 as well as castle palaces, large and small buildings, red tile roofs as well as the streets and alleyways crisscrossing the city. There is no better location for admiring the city named the "European Capital of Culture in 2003" in 1998 and a "World Heritage Site" in 1999. Verdant Schlossberg also offers local residents a great place for recreation and mountain climbing. Many local people can be seen strolling through the park along the way. The delegation headed down the mountain along stone stairs and then stopped by a cafe at the foot of the mountain to exchange insights from the iiSBE AGM and tour of Schlossberg. From there, they strolled back along city alleys and the riverside walk back to the hotel to admire the Kunsthaus, Insel in Der Mur and City Hall buildings they had seen on the mountain from another perspective. This marked the end of that day's very busy itinerary.
