The paper pays attention to the shaping process of the new industrial landscape in Taiwan after 1980s and the professional role and its sptatial symbolic meaning of the modern architect represented by J. J. Pan and Partners. At first, the roles of the global architects as the global flows in the intercity networking of Taiwanese architects are elaborated in the perspective of the global metropolitan networks. Then, facing the scenario of the global high tech production space in Taiwan, the paper deals with the professional performance of J. J. Pan and Partners and the huge amount of design projects of high-tech plants and the other academic and institutional designs through detailed empirical data. Finally, the author concludes as "function, function, and a little symbolic". This is the building of modernity in Taiwan after 1980s. To Contrast to the cultural stars or the form-giver architects who consider themselves in the right, J. J. Pan and Partners could be considered the best representative of modern architect in Taiwan after 1980s. After 1980s, the west coast of Taiwan, especially the northern Taiwan metropolitan region, has become the cross-border electronic production site in global metropolitan networks. J. J. Pan and Partners as a representative architect, provides production space as a professional architect in the constitution of the new industrial space. As an architect, Joshua Jih Pan of course unsatisfied with high-tech plants design. He didn't choose the post-modern turn but to soften the machine through human consideration. This is the spatialization of modern discourse, the spatialization of social order of Taiwanese version. The discourse modern architecture and urbanism adds a little environmental psychology, a little Confucius spirit, and a little integrity in implementation from Christian church, which accomplishes the building of modern space and the constitution of modernity of Taiwanese version through the representation of space. The embarrassment between the functional requirements of production space (high-tech plants) and the machine metaphor of space production exists in the deep of the symbolic expression of the architectural projects of J. J. Pan and Partners and their embedded context of the global cross-border production and flows of Taiwanese electronic industry. The interdependent and oppositional dialectical relationships are the internal contradictions and the building of modernity in Taiwan after 1980s.
