象鼻部落巡禮 - 漫步山林 象鼻古吊橋。
象鼻部落【Mepuwal】位於大安溪右岸山麓，海約500公尺的溪邊台地。象鼻部落舊名「麥布安」，泰雅語是小彭地的意思，從前此處是部落采吉和打獵的出發點，而由苗61縣道往士林方向上眺望大安溪北岸的地形，在象鼻部落上方，猶可見一隻面臨大安溪的大象，象頭、象耳、象鼻型態依稀可見，象鼻部分直入大安溪，模樣栩栩如生，因此至日治時代命名為象。
Architecture is both the process and the product of planning, designing, and constructing buildings and other physical structures. Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art. Historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural achievements. Architecture has to do with planning, designing and constructing form, space and ambience to reflect functional, technical, social, environmental and aesthetic considerations. It requires the creative manipulation and coordination of materials and technology, and of light and shadow.
