To respond to the environment and natural ecology, we chose Meng Zongzhu, Moso bamboo, as the main material, which can be seen everywhere in the coastal fishery environment, and the elements of the oyster shed constructed by local oyster farmers at sea are taken as the main axis. We kept the bamboo in its original state, without any coating and chemical processing. After the installation was unloaded, the five thousand of bamboo was successfully recycled by farmers and fishermen for secondary use, which not only returned to the local fishery environment but also greatly reduced the environmental cost of secondary transportation.
2024 coincides with the 400th anniversary of Tainan's founding. We were invited to respond to this activity with a large-scale art installation and build a three-dimensional space with the image of the ancient city wall in Anping, a historical field with many monuments and old city fortresses. With such a long and high scale, people's understanding and imagination of Taiwan's modern history have been aroused.
The architectural appearance of many Tainan's temples inherits the design elements of traditional buildings in southern Fujian, especially the roofs, which are mostly presented with beautiful curved surfaces. Therefore, in our works, we combine the images of the roofs of temples in Tainan to design a triangular special curved surface space, turn the curves seen from the side view of the roofs of temples into vertical surfaces, and create a multi-level spatial rhythm, which not only responds to the landscape memory of local religious culture but also makes the densest arrangement of bamboo in this area. The arrangement embodies the narrow and dense meaning of the alleys in Tainan's old city.
