Curatorial Statement
Living with Sky, Water and Mountain: Making Places in Yilan
In response to the theme of “Freespace” in 2018 Venice Biennale, Taiwan proposes that architecture could transform a place, which can be achieved by every architect. With such belief, Fieldoffice endeavors to write stories about seeking freedom via architecture. As far as Fieldoffice is concerned, “freedom” is not an intangible nonsense, but actually leading a daily life that they are willing to stay within a 30-min drive sphere to dedicate their architecture work to helping people lead a better life and reconnect the bodies with sky, water, and mountain.
Fieldoffice’s Yilan experiences remind us about an important, yet often neglected dimension, which is how to create a better living place. Yilan is situate on the south-east on Taipei Metropolis, a typical semi-urban, semi-rural city in Taiwan. Such an urban life is the consequence of lasting interaction between the Nature and people, created especially after decades of urbanization brought by capitalism. In the meantime, place are being eroded; community collapse; people are no longer connected to each other; their qualities of experiences decrease; and eventually lose the sense of belonging. Making places therefore becomes one of the critical issues for Yilan.
Places are the result of the interactions between people and their living environment. Making places is more than building a physical space, but also establishing linkage between people and people as well as people and environment.
Fieldoffice considers itself as a combination of residents and professionals, they are in charge of envisioning, initiating, programming, negotiating, and coordinating of these place-making projects. These projects are materialized dreams through their tireless persuasion. Fieldoffice did not only introduce new urban activities, but also intensified current ones, clarified existing urban structure, improved pedestrian safety, unveiled forgotten historical fragments of Yilan, and brought back urban elements that echo historic circumstances of the area. The projects often resemble the careful restoration of an old carpet or textile by weaving new fibers into the worn-out or damaged tissue, carefully maintaining its initial overall scale, pattern and coloration. Fieldoffice’s ‘countryside urbanism’ will be exhibited in three parts:a.Condensing social memories: interventions via time
b.Setting a datum: canopy as the new reference line;
c.Returning to the land: continuum in suspension of time.Fieldoffice’s design is an example of ´fragile´ or ´weak´ form, which does not aspire to impress by a domineering, pure and forceful form. The edges and boundaries of the designed projects are impossible to identify, as the new is completely fused with what existed and what is a result of spontaneous tradition. As the Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik (1872-1957) made in his hometown Ljubljana, and through these projects altered the reading and experience of the city’s urban structure. Many of Plečnik’s projects are also minute in size, but their impact is unexpectedly strong. Plečnik, like Fieldoffice a few decades later, used recycled materials and architectural fragments for economical reasons and to strengthen the experience of time and historical layering. This is urban patch-work and renovation based on a subtle understanding of historical and experiential meanings of architecture.
Fieldoffice work at the outskirts of Yilan in a house surrounded by rice fields and distant outlines of mountains. The office venue is a creative chaos of spaces full of furniture, drafting boards, computers, books, samples, drawings and models. The atmosphere is collaborative, casual and friendly, as in an extended family. Many of the assistants live in a nearby house which has been converted into a dormitory, which is a commendable exercise in tightest-packing of individual spaces for sleeping and personal life, on two levels. It is an intriguing fact that the majority of the commissions of the office, characterized by the presence of the rice fields, are in tight urban contexts in Yilan. This makes one realize that the most important reality for an architect is always his/her imaginative reality, and his/her most important skill is the gift of empathy.
In today’s Consumerist world, the autonomy of architecture is threatened by two opposite forces: total functionalization and total aestheticization. The first force turns architecture into utilitarian, rationalized and functionalized problem solving, the second makes architecture a fabrication of shallow visual attractions. As a consequence, architecture as an autonomous, poetic and artistic endeavor is lost. In a sound and sane culture, architecture is not expected to produce fantasies or dreams, as the task of architecture is to reinforce our sense of the real, the poetics of reality itself, and consequently, to give us our existential foothold in space, time and the continuum of culture. Fieldoffice’s architecture expands the realm of the new, while reinforcing the presence of not only the Taiwanese traditions, but the timeless qualities of building at large.

策展論述
活在宜蘭:連接山海水土
回應2018年威尼斯建築雙年展的主題“Freespace”,台灣館提出:建築可以改變一個地方,這件事每個建築師都可以做到。這是田中央的理念,20多年來在宜蘭的努力,他們撰寫出一篇關於透過建築追求自由的故事。對田中央而言,「自由」並非停留在抽象層次之空言,而是讓自己留在一個半徑30分鐘車程範圍內的相對小空間裡,心甘情願地以建築,慢慢地為別人做很多事的真實生活過程,並重新讓身體和山海水土再連接一起。
田中央的宜蘭經驗,提醒了一個重要、但常被建築師忽略的向度:如何營造出讓人安居的生活場所?宜蘭位於台北都會區的東南方,為台灣典型的都會中半都市、半農村的地區。這情況是宜蘭自然條件和人的生活長久互動的的結果,尤其被近幾十年來資本主義都市化的過程所塑造。在這過程中,地方被侵蝕,社區瓦解,人與人之間失去了牢固的鏈結,經驗品質降低,最終失去了歸屬感。營造地方( Making Places)因此成為宜蘭非常重要的課題之一。
地方是人們與他生活的環境之間互動的結果。營造地方不僅是實體的空間建造,更重要的,是創造人與人以及人與環境之間關係的鏈結。田中央將自己視為居民和建築師的聯合體,這些場所營造計畫的構想、發起、空間內容的規劃、談判和協調等,都扮演重要角色。經由田中央不懈地勸說與努力,實現了這些夢想,他們不但引進了新的城市活動,並強化了現有的活動,梳理了既有的城市架構,改善了行人的安全,發掘出城市被遺忘的歷史,亦展現了呼應城市歷史的城市元素。田中央的案子往往就像是在修復舊地毯或損壞的布料般,需要謹慎地保存原來的尺度、格局、色彩,並小心翼翼地將新的纖維與損毀的部份編織在一起。在此展覽中,我們將田中央的country urbanism,分成三個部份來論述:
a、凝聚記憶:與時間作朋友。
b、設定基準:大棚架做為地景參考線。
c、重回大地:記住身體,忘掉時間。田中央的設計並未企圖以強烈、純粹的幾何形體來介入,而是蓄意以壓抑的不完整形式來處理,所有的邊界與介面都無法被辨識,新與舊完全融合在一起,彷彿一切皆是自然形成的結果。這讓人想起斯洛維尼亞建築師 (Jože Plečnik, 1872-1957),因為他設計的案子,改變了他的故鄉盧布爾雅那(Ljubljana)的結構與人們閱讀和經驗城市的方式。普蘭斯尼克許多的設計案也很微小,但它們的影響卻是意外地強大與深遠,為了經濟考量與強化時間和使人經歷層層的歷史,猶如在他之後幾十年的田中央,普蘭斯尼克也使用再生材料和建築碎片。這些設計都是在對於建築史和經驗有微妙理解的建築師,才能做出的修補與城市改造。
田中央的事務所位於宜蘭市郊,被遠山環抱與稻田環繞。事務所是個有創造性的混亂空間,充滿了傢俱、繪圖版、電腦、書籍、材料樣品、圖紙和模型。工作室裡充滿了協作、隨性、親合的氣氛,就像是一個大家庭一樣。很多工作同仁都同住在附近的一棟房子裡。這棟宿舍是從既有的房舍改建而來,本身就是一個值得讚賞、將個人生活與睡覺空間、緊湊地安排在一個兩層樓空間的設計。田中央多數的設計案大多位於宜蘭,一種有稻田卻又密集居住的城市環境中,田中央這樣將生活在工作裡,讓人意識到,作為建築師最重要的是他想像出的真實,以及先天具備的同理心。
在當今消費主義的世界裡,,建築的自主性受到完全的功能主義或完全的美學主義,這兩種相反力量的威脅。第一種力量,將建築變成是一種很實際地在合理解決功能問題的專業;第二種力量,則將建築當作是製作膚淺的視覺感受的職業。在健全和理性的文化中,建築不會被期待產生想像或夢想,而是在強化我們對現實的感受,體現現實的詩意,進而使我們感受到我們所立足的空間、時間和文化的持續感。田中央的建築不但將建築往新的面向擴展,同時除了強化臺灣的獨特傳統,更整體強化了建築本身的永恆。
