RESEARCH TOPICThis workshop is divided into two phases. In the first stage, each person is studied separately for a material. The research method has no specific provisions, that is, to understand the material as much as possible. Recognize various related contents of materials from their types, characteristics, uses, and processing methods.
The second stage is to continue the research results of the previous stage, using the materials studied and other materials to select a base within the specified range, and construct a space device that can provide people with rest. This space device serves as an extension of the bookstore. SOIL RESEARCHThe material I studied was soil. I started to understand and operate from the way the soil was built. Further understanding the characteristics of all aspects of the soil, and try to escape the way the soil was used in the past, looking for different construction possibilities from its characteristics.

Using the ability of soil to blend with other materials and harden after drying, and try to mix different types of soil with different substances. After adding water, stirring, and drying, I made a variety of soil bricks with different properties to further understand the nature of the soil and try to find other possibilities for soil construction.
THE RESEARCH
I use three kinds of soil (yellow, red, black) to start research in different physical states (soil,mud,clod). Finally, several possible directions are summarized, including the type of soil, bamboo as a structure, the nature of the mud, and the mixing with other substances. The study based on the nature of the soil, tried to discover its potential as a different aspect of the material. |
SPACE INSTALLATION ARTContinue the previous research results. Select a site in the prescribed range and construct a space device for people to rest as an extension of the bookstore.
I use bamboo as a supporting structure, choose a linear site, cooperate with street furniture, and use a different nature of soil to build a space device (Like a cave) with the spatiality of staying and crossing. |
PARTIAL CONSTRUCTION
The second stage is to select two out of eight proposals for implementation. My proposal is one of two. The partial application uses wood as the base, and uses different weaving methods of bamboo to make flooring and cave-like main structure, and finally laying a layer of thin soil.
This work shop gave me an idea of how to comprehend the material.
From understanding the essence of the material to the possibilities of application , and returning to the construction of the material.
In this way, the greatest characteristics of the material itself can be exerted and creativity can be stimulated.
Of course, the most important thing is the process of construction.
After facing the real materials and cooperation, I understand the meaning of the word "Tectonic".
