D.「建築繁殖場」簡介
黃奕智 (建築繁殖場第零代)
『建築繁殖場』乃是呂理煌在1998年於國立台南藝術學院建築藝術研究所任教時,所開始籌畫,並於1999年正式成立。在初期的硬體建築中,僅以鍍鋅浪板蓋出一棟半弧形鐵皮屋,做為從事建築「實做」教育的場所;在面對南台灣之氣候、地理條件,「建築繁殖場」師生們以自力建造的方式,展開1:1的建築實驗。本案在歷經3年的努力下,並於2002年獲得「遠東建築獎」首獎的榮耀。

開放的「空間構成」與探索
建築繁殖場的基地位置位於國立台南藝術學院校園的邊陲山坡地上,是處於一種較為「荒涼」的邊陲地帶,以一種「獨立」的姿態座落在校園中,是由自然的果樹、山坡所包圍出來的一片天地。

整個繁殖場場域呈現出一種完全「開放」的框架狀態。四周的荒野對應著開放的工作環境,讓學生們在每日的「實做」訓練中,以「身體」去探發、觀察四周的空間紋理與狀況。因此,自1999-2000年起,學生們一方面進行對於材料與構造的探索實驗,並逐步去探發周邊山坡地的地形走向、特殊植栽,與不同季節、時間下的微氣候狀況。直接以「身體性」去感知環境紋理的各種質性關係,並藉由設立「工作平台」的方式,開始向周邊的山坡地紋理進行探索。

這樣的工作關係於是成為建築繁殖場「實做」訓練歷程的一個基調。藉由開放學生們與自然環境間的「探索」關係,以「實做」的方式去檢驗自己的作品與環境之間的關連。因此,建築繁殖場的空間構成狀態,一直是保持「開放」而「時時變化」的,所有的動線關係,也經常在實驗的過程中被創造出來,或是在經過檢驗之後,逐漸被放棄而消失。利用這樣的「開放」架構,建築繁殖場始終保持一種變換流動的氛圍與面貌。

由「土地」出發的形式語言
「建築繁殖場」處於常態性的變化與流轉,基本上保持不變的唯此弧形鐵皮屋做為一個「母體」的框架。這個「開放」的架構本身,即是整個「建築繁殖場」的精神所在。此一母體是做為這塊「場域」,以及每一代繁殖場的成員,所能產生「認同」與「辨認」的「象徵性結構物」。

在學生們所鋪設的步道中,蓄意地蜿蜒了路徑,以迂迴的方式繞過「繁殖場」前的樹叢,而以較為「平順」的角度去「貼近」繁殖場,提供了一種「儀式性」的接近方式,呈現出對於「大地」的尊重,以及重視如何發揮建築材料之「物性價值」的尊嚴。這個清晰而明確的價值觀,正是利用「建築繁殖場」的母體框架所建立出來,且在學生們每日「上工」所經歷的「路徑歷程」中,以某種「儀式性」的空間感知方式,刻畫在學生的「身體記憶」當中。

多樣性的「構造關係」與不斷實驗的「人-物」介面
藉由對於週邊環境與繁殖場「母體」的「構造關係」,採取「物件殖入」的方式展開實驗性的探索與交互對話關係;並因此對「基地」環境產生更進一步的「詮釋」方式與態度,進而對環境紋理有所整理、調整,以配合「殖入物件-基地空間紋理-繁殖場母體」三者間的紋理層次關係。

每一代繁殖場的成員都會藉由對「材料」的實驗探索,去摸索自己對於其「物性價值」的詮釋與處理方式;而每一代成員彼此間的「合作-競爭」關係,亦會影響他們對於「物性價值」之理解與詮釋;並在前後期作品的呈現當中,不斷地去修正、調整他們的「人-物-環境」關係。藉此,奠基在前人的實驗基礎上,繼續往其它的「人-物」關係與整體環境間的「構造關係」,以進行其個人的探索與研究。

事實上,這樣的實驗過程,將會不斷地改變週邊環境的紋理與空間屬性,並開始創建這個「場所」本身的歷史與文化軌跡。每一代的「實做」均會發展出他們對於環境紋理的詮釋方式;因此,環境與空間之場所性與空間性,便會不斷地在世代交替之間,轉變其面貌。同時,這樣的改變並不僅止於「外部」所「殖入」的物件上。殖入物件所改變的空間紋理脈絡,往往會回頭影響繁殖場「母體」本身,進而引發一連串的「增建」、「改建」,以產生更細緻的空間定義及操作。

小結
在每一代繁殖場學生們的操作、實驗之下,繁殖場的整體面貌始終直保持在某種「施工中」的狀態。而這種變動中的狀態,正是繁殖場中唯一不變的基本精神。

同時,也因為這樣的變動過程,促使「建築繁殖場」的整體空間氛圍產生每一代不同的詮釋與表現方式,並影響新一代的成員對於環境紋理的感知經驗與詮釋。因此,這個「構造關係」與「人-物」之間的介面,便在這樣的循?影響中不斷地發展與變化,以螺旋式的軌跡發展,往更多未知的建築空間之可能性去探索。也就在這樣的變化發展當中,「建築繁殖場」開始建立自己的文化與價值觀,並書寫自己的複體記憶。
D. INTERBREEDING FIELD: A Brief Introduction
Originally written by Yi-Chih HUANG, Revised by Chia Chi Jason WANG

Interbreeding Field is the matrix building of an experimental site for architecture, which was first planned and designed by Li H. LU in 1998, and afterwards built single-handedly by Lu and the graduate students under his guidance at the Graduate Institute of Architecture, Tainan National College of the Arts in 1999. After 3 years of group efforts, Interbreeding Field won the Far Eastern Architecture Design Award in 2002.

An Open "Spatial Construction" and Exploration
Interbreeding Field is not merely a building but also a breeding locus for providing all kinds of possible architectural experiments. It is a hub that keeps an open, experimental attitude, in order to nurture the next generation architects in Taiwan. In this sense, the Interbreeding Field is an architectural team as well, the members of which include Li H. LU and the cadets that have worked closely with him.

Interbreeding Field is located at the edge of a hillside on the campus of the Tainan National College of the Arts. Surrounded by wilderness, the Interbreeding Field has been built as an open framework, which forms a reciprocal relationship with the natural environment around it. Interbreeding Field emphasizes an architectural training through physical and manual practice, the intention of which is to engage the participating member to discover and experience the textures and conditions imbedded in the surroundings through the use of his/her own body.

A Formal Language Developed from Land Ethics
Taking the matrix site of Interbreeding Field as a stepping stone, the graduate students, on the one hand, have to explore the potentials of all kinds of possible architectural materials and structures; on the other hand, they are, too, required to involve physically by entering the landscape to research and uncover the geographical characteristics of the hillside, the peculiarity of its vegetation, and the minute climatic alteration of the region in different seasons and timings. And then, each of them has to learn to integrate the discoveries into his/her own work.

Interbreeding Field holds a humble attitude in respecting the earth and at the same time emphasizes making the best use of the material value of an architectural structure. It is in the belief of the members of Interbreeding Field that those two aspects should find an aesthetic balance well. Through such inborn and deliberate value of Interbreeding Field toward architecture, in accordance with the manual labor process central to this ritualized working routine, the participating students would then be able to write such value and aesthetic view into their body and form a permanent architectural memory of their own.

The kind of attitude and spirit that Interbreeding Field has accentuated is in fact corresponding to the constantly changing or transforming Nature and cityscape. How does one conduct a communication and interaction with the matrix and, furthermore, to enrich the latter? Or, in the process of breeding new architecture, how is it to maintain the interlinkage between the newborn and the matrix as well as the ecology of the earth by insisting a natural, healthy environmental process? Both have been the major concerns of the Interbreeding Field.

Multiple "Structural Relations" and Unceasing Experiment on the "Man-Materials" Interface
When it comes to the agenda of balancing the multiple "structural relations" between man and materials for a balance, such as making architecture as one that is capable of dwelling the sky, the earth, the divinities and the mortals altogether like the late 20th German philosopher Martin Heidegger has highly aspired, it is the task of every member of the Interbreeding Field to turn back to him/herself by unceasingly searching, experimenting, adjusting, revising and exploring, in order to reach a balance among humanity, materialistic technology and natural environments.

The main structure of Interbreeding Field as the matrix of a framework is to assist the students in building a referent for self-positioning. As every generation of the students may differ and vary, what they bring along or implement may also create change, alienation or even mutation to the matrix and its atmosphere in general. Meantime, Interbreeding Field as the matrix would have to respond and adjust to the new context as well.

A Brief Conclusion
As every generation of incoming students can be different, the contents of Interbreeding Field change accordingly. It is because the interpretation and expression have varied. Likewise, such change would also pose an influence on those yet to come in terms of how the latter may feel, understand and reinterpret the external environments they are about to encounter. Such process of interbreeding is never simply a decision of "to save" or "to delete." As time proceeds, the need for space changes, the cultural process transforms, and the architectural matrix such as Interbreeding Field would ultimately come into a metamorphosis with distinct footprints.

Thus, multiple, composite thinking has become a key philosophy in the creation and building of architecture at Interbreeding Field. In this evolution process, Interbreeding Field is gradually forming and writing its own culture, value system, aesthetics and history of architecture with a distinctive contemporary Taiwanese character.
