1. Reflection on the value of computer-assisted building
Smart house, digitized space change the way people live, making our life more comfortable, efficient and making our life pace more tightened.
The responsibility of architecture is to provide people from all walks of life with a suitable living environment, regardless of geographic regions.
The smart houses originated from computer-assisted construction provide us not only high-quality living condition and environment but the extension of limitless economic cost is also included, so as to challenge the boundless pursuit of intelligence. Can computer-assisted architecture and digitized architectural technology only be applied to costly architectural draft plan or the draft from privileged conglomerate? In view of the reflection on the matter, we manage to invest the architectural technology in the underprivileged people/the minority.
2. Helping to reshape the remote districts
“Volunteer clinic” is often heard of, yet “volunteer build” is rarely heard of. “Medicins Sans Frontieres” is frequently seen, yet “Architects Without Boundaries” is seldom seen. We can always see “doctors with empathy” in the Chinese classics, but we don’t see “architects with empathy”. Not that there are no people of good deed, but that the door to the value and act of charity is just not open yet. Those who practice medicine have seen life and death all through their life. It’s the deed of philanthropy. If the architects can sympathize with the homeless and the ill, their value of kindness shall be inspired. We plan to set up a humanity architect website which is going to serve as platform for follow-up fund raising activities for the underprivileged. It is going to benefit the aboriginal kids from remote mountain areas in the initial stage and continuing to offer help in the “Library, Learning” program.
3. Integrating the alternative service into the program.
Alternative servicemen each have their expertise in various fields. They love to communicate with people and equip themselves with knowledge of differing areas. Under the common consensus of “learning to build and service”, they are organized to realize and participate in the “Volunteer Build” activity in their free time.
4. Appealing the students to joining the Volunteer Build
The program provides students who love build activities with actual building operation and practice courses, bringing them a unique experience during summer and winter vacation. Through do it yourself operation, they can understand the problems of 工業製照與工匠技術 and 思考落差 of architectural design and embodiment and thus gain the actual experiences and operating concepts.
5. Inspiring the interest among aboriginal kids.
Not only do we help build the houses but also inspire the faith and creativity of house building among aborigines. We influence the kids and prompt kids’ imagination toward the houses with “Build to tell a story” activity, thus bringing forth the curiosity about houses among the aboriginal people.
We hope to see the rise of aboriginal architects who can take hold of their own ingredients, cultural awaking, and traditional background in the Central Range of Taiwan. They shall create local architecture with the tribal sources they know well.

緣起
雙龍村 文藝教室毀損發現在深山工作亦進行原住民建築考察,過程發現布農聚落雙龍村傳統文化教室受風災損毀,無力進行修復。傳統文化教室位於雙龍國小內,主要提供老師教導孩子製作傳統藝品與布農族手工文化傳承。課餘與假日時段則提供聚落族人在此推動文化復育工作:木雕刻、編織、竹編…等。2005年 由族人與聚落家長推動傳統文化復育而自行搭建。2007年 夏天因多次颱風毀損部分屋簷,校方封閉該教室(如圖1.)
服役中 獲悉教室倒塌2008年 損毀之傳統文藝教室,再次因颱風侵襲倒塌(如圖2.)。校方考量學童安全,由族人與聚落家長拆除。目前校園中,代表雙龍村族人文化意識之傳統文藝教室已然消失。聚落企盼持續性布農文化傳承,僅能暫時轉往一般鋼筋混凝土校舍傳授。少了手工建築氛圍,布農文化傳承缺乏與自然原始互動之真實性。聚落族人與雙龍國小目前缺乏經費重建此空間,提案人期望透過果核再生計畫協助聚落募款重建。
宗旨
(1)反思 電腦輔助建築 價值
智慧型住宅、數位化空間改變人們生活型態。
讓人更輕安自在,更有效率,但也讓生活步調更為緊湊。
建築的責任為提供社會各階層適居環境,不分地理區域。
但電腦輔助建築產出的智慧型住宅,
除提供高品質居住條件與生活外,
仍包含經濟成本的無限延伸,以挑戰智慧化的無限追求…。
電腦輔助建築,數位建築科技,
只能用在昂貴的建築設計案或富裕的企業財團開發案中嗎?
基於對此反思,我們嘗試將建築科技投入弱勢環境中。
(2)協助 偏遠地區 空間再造
時有聞『義診』,少有聞『義築』;
常見『無國界醫師』救苦,鮮見『無國界建築師』伸手救難;
華人經典中,屢聞『大醫王』,卻未聞『大築王』。
非建築者無善,僅是未開啟為善之道、行善之門。
行醫者看盡生老病死,此有大愛之恤;
如建築者認識『無居所孺婦、病榻受凍弱老』,善念也一定會被啟發…。
我們計畫設一人道建築網站,作為後續弱勢建築募款平台。
初期以台灣偏遠山區原住民小學童為主,
持續提供『圖書、學習』等建築空間奧援。
(3)整合 替代役男 參與構築
替代役,在專業領域上各有特殊專長,
喜愛交流與吸收多元知識,
在大家以『學習建築』與『服務』為共識下,
組織大家透過實際行動與關懷,
在公餘時間參與『建築協助活動。
(4)號召 學生參與建築實作
提供校園中,熱愛建築實作學生,
於寒暑假體驗不同環境、文化的建築實作、實習課程,
讓學生在動手施工中,瞭解建造的『工業製造與工匠技術』問題,
和建築設計、建築實體的思考落差,
以動手做累積初步的實作經驗與施工觀念。
(5)引發 原住民孩童的興趣
我們不單協助蓋房子,也啟發族人蓋房子的信念與創意,
以『建築說故事』活動來激發原住民孩童對房子的想像,
讓孩子與族人對房子產生好奇。
我們希望,未來有掌握自己材料、文化意識、傳統背景的原住民建築師,
能在中央山脈誕生,以熟悉自身部落來適切創造在地建築。
