与自然共生：台中竹迹馆

台中是台湾第二大城市，且被誉为台湾最宜居的城市；建设业建设着并改变着城市的样貌，乘载着城市随着时代不断前进。竹迹馆是由台中市不动产商业同业公会赞助的企业展馆，位于丰原葫芦墩园区的第四区。此公会的主要成员皆为台中市优秀的建筑建设相关企业，也因此我们在设计的最初就一并思考着如何展示该产业的精神并与花博接轨，展现台中不动产开发商业同业公会对于建筑工法以及社会公益投入，健康的重视；以及台湾原产绿建材的优势与特性。

Taichung is the second main and most habitable city in Taiwan. As construction industries build up and change the appearance of the city, they also guide it to continuously move forward with era. Bamboo Pavilion, located in the fourth area of Fengyuan Huludun Park, is an exhibition hall sponsored by Taichung Real Estate Development Association. Since the association is mostly composed by the greatest building construction companies, our main goal was how to combine their pure spirit with Flora Exposition, including care for physical and mental health, the devotedness in social benefit, and engineering method, with the strength and feature of the green building materials from Taiwan.

因应台中世界花卉博览会主题，Formosa美丽的台湾，我们取自中央山脉群与海岛的意象，竹迹馆的外型就像是一种籽从地表长出并被水包围四周。室内与室外以不阻挡、不隔绝的方式结合自然，场馆表面就像一片竹林，在馆内游览彷佛一场竹林之旅，在展馆内抬头，可以看见林顶的天空。

In accordance with the theme of Taichung World Flora Exposition- Formosa Beauty of Taiwan- we get the image from Central Mountain Range, making the outlook of Bamboo Pavilion looks like a seed born from the ground surface, surrounded by water. Indoor and outdoor, connect with Mother Nature in a non-resisting way. The perception of the user resembles walking through a bamboo forest, which enhancing the human experience. When raising their head, they could look up to the sky above the forest-top. 

我们使用取自于南投与嘉义的在地材料-孟宗竹与桂竹，并在设计上运用竹子的韧性与结构性，有别于传统竹艺与装置艺术对于竹子材料本身与空间尺度的表现，呈现具有张力与结构性的空间特质。利用竹架构与竹片编织体现建筑美学，藉由建筑工程技术思维与传统台湾竹艺编织技术结合，将传统工艺形塑出连贯过去现在与未来的空间。

The materials used are all native species from Taiwan, Moso bamboo and Makino Bamboo from Nantou and Chiayi is our first choice. Comparing with the space scale performance of traditional installation and bamboo art, they fully express the tenacity and constitutive property of bamboo in design. By mixing constructional dimension and weaving technics, it creates a timeless space that reflects consistency. 

使用者在这个空间停留的同时，能平静的感受空间、感受建筑与自然的平衡；在建筑与环境建设的同时，也都能设想着未来。「竹迹」隐喻着建筑的痕迹，竹迹馆就好像我们撒下的一个种籽，象征我们对未来的想象与希望，期许未来能给予下一代更宜居的环境；能够使用更多永续建材，与周边环境更协调的共存，增强人与人之间、人与自然之间的友善关系，进而与自然共生。

When people enter in the space, they could feel the tranquil atmosphere together with the balance between architecture and nature. At the time of making architecture and building construction, we set for the coming days. “Bamboo Pavilion” is a metaphor of architecture’s footprint, like a seed has been spread and grow, symbolizing our hope and dream of future- offering a more habitable environment to our next generation. Furthermore, to increase the usage of more sustainable building materials harmonized with the environment, and enhance the intimate relationship between human beings and nature.
