有別於長期由政府部門主導的古蹟與歷史建築保存，不在文化資產保存法所定義範疇內的老屋，其相關之保存工作雖然在近年來逐漸受到關注，但該如何認定其歷史價值並作適當之活化與再利用，一直以來仍是一個缺乏討論與共識的問題。
尤其自2008年以來，台南市的古都保存再生文教基金會與台北市都市更新處不約而同地，都以老屋為名舉辦案例徵選活動，並獲得各界熱烈的迴響，老屋之於現代都市的重要性不僅已廣泛受到肯定，其更衍伸出來許多值得深入研究的課題。本文以獲得2010年台北市都市更新處所舉辦「老屋新生大獎」的二條通一號（現今中山北路33巷1號）為例，試圖針對老屋再生所涉及之空間改造與經營策略兩個主要課題，從設計者、經營者與使用者的不同觀點進行探討，並藉此對於快速都市化發展的台灣提出反思。
The term “old building” examined in this thesis is not defined in Cultural Heritage Preservation Act and different from monuments and historic buildings, the preservation of which has been long led by the government. Although there is a growing public concern over the preservation of this undefined cultural heritage, how to recognize its historic value and to reuse it has been an issue of long debate. Since 2008, the Foundation of Historic City Conservation and Regeneration in Tainan and the Urban Regeneration Office in Taipei both have launched a series of actions under the name of “old building” and won widespread support from the public. Increasingly, the importance of old building to the development of modern cities has been recognized and needs to be studied. This thesis examines the 2010 winner of Old Building Revitalization Award - Nijodori No.1 (located in No.1 Lane 33, Zhongshan Road, Taipei) and focuses on two interrelated strategies: spatial transformation and business management. From the different perspectives of designer, manager, and user, the primary purpose is to provide a reflection on Taiwan’s rapid urbanization through the revitalization of old buildings.
