​縫隙的深度計算式

 

在1908~1912年間，高雄的築港計劃巧妙地將疏濬高雄港所挖起的土，於高雄港旁填築了一個新市區，這個區域叫「哈瑪星」，從無到有的過程讓總督府可以依照想法來安排市區的規劃，是台灣第一個填海造陸的市區。

 

「填海造陸」是一個從深處向上疊加的過程，城市的自來水、電力、下水道等系統也一併於建造的過程匯入其中，最終到達我們所站的地平面。草皮的、木板的、磁磚的、洗石子的、磨石子的、水泥粉光的地面都是我們視覺可見的樣式，但在這表面之下不可被看見的系統是如何行走的，城市是如何的被建構與運行的。

 

在駐村過程中透過觀察於地面上的縫隙及水流的走向，由表面向內部回推，藉此來施做自己想像的「填海造陸」工程。不是由深處向上，而是反向的向深處前進。

Depth Calculation Formula for Gap

​

Between 1908 and 1912, the Kaohsiung Harbor Reclamation Project ingeniously utilized the excavated soil from dredging Kaohsiung Harbor to create a new urban area adjacent to the harbor. This area is known as "Hamasen," and the entire process allowed the colonial government to plan the city according to their vision. It was Taiwan's first land reclamation project.

​

"Land reclamation" is a process that builds upwards from deep below the surface, incorporating various systems such as water supply, electricity, and sewage into the construction. Ultimately, it reaches the ground level where we stand. The visible surface includes grass, wooden boards, tiles, washed finish, and Terrazzo, among others. However, beneath this surface lies an invisible network of systems, defining how the city is constructed and operates.

​

During the residency process, through observing the gaps on the ground and the direction of water flow, one can extrapolate from the surface to the interior, envisioning my own "land reclamation" project. Instead of progressing from deep below to the surface, it moves in reverse, advancing towards the depths.
