身爲台灣人不可不知台灣事。台灣原住民的建築，其住家及聚落型態反映了語言、文化、環境及社會體系的多樣性，雖是建築學的寶庫，但卻一向少有述及。
本文的動機，希望由氣候的角度，透過熱環境的探討，比較33個原住民建築，以期提出“建築”與“風土”之相關性。
本文共分五節，各節主要內容爲：
第一節：探討本文的可行懷，以確立研究動機與目的。
第二節：建立氣溫、雨量、相對濕度及日照的基礎資料，以利了解與研究。
第三節：建立台灣住民建築之基礎資料。
第四節：以1.熱容量及2.熱負荷評估台灣原住民建築的熱環境性能。
第五節：經由熱環境的評估，檢討“原住民建築”與“風土”之相關性。
As a resident of Taiwan, people should be aware of Taiwanese events. The architecture of Taiwanese aborigines, their homes and settlement pattern reflect not only their language, culture, environment, bat the multiplexity of the social system. Though a treasury in terms of architecture, little has been mentioned.
The motive for this article is to compare, from climate aspects and through exploration into the thermal environment, 33 aboriginal architecture in order to come up with the correlations between architecture and climate.
This article is divided into five sections, the content of each being:
Section 1: To explore the feasibility of this article so as to ascertain the research motive and purposes.
Section 2: To establish basic information on temperature, rainfall, relative humidity, and sunshine for the purpose of facilitating understanding and the research.
Section 3: To establish basic information on aboriginal architecture in Taiwan.
Section 4: To assess thermal environment properties of Taiwanese aboriginal architecture from the aspects of 1) thermal content, and 2) thermal load.
Section 5: To examine through thermal environment assessment the correlation between ”aboriginal building” and ”climate”.
