「2/3屋」的場域改造是透過建築行動介入,和毀壞後所產生的新生命對話。一方面移除嚴重毀壞的1/3並重新整理構材,用來修補2/3的房舍;另一方面在1/3處植入一個植物生長的場所,讓原本的居所,成為對話性的場所。「2/3屋」的入口有兩處,一邊是通往新建的1/3處,團隊轉化原本老房子的角窗間,結合毀壞的圍牆,創作一個緩慢轉動的圓形空間,如同一個時間的轉盤,緩慢地將身體轉入新空間的場域,在這個圓形的轉動空間中,身體在等待時,望向天空,觀看老房子被拆除後所剩下的屋頂痕跡。
1/3的新場域由幾個元素構成,首先是一座往外延伸的大山牆,是一條重新認識與從轉動入口進入老房子的關係界定。另一個部分是通往屋頂的弧形樓梯,引導觀者從老房子入口庭院的一端往屋頂弧線移動,用不同的視角經歷老房子,並緩步抬高看見周遭的紋理,於高處的缺口進入,經過屋頂、屋架、屋樑與屋身,再走進老房子中,彷彿時光機,從新的場域走進舊的環境氛圍中,另一方面也形成新的屋頂,減緩2/3的持續毀壞。
「2/3屋」的另一個入口是原本房舍的舊入口,團隊在進入場域中安排了三個方向的閱讀。一個是左側改造後的角窗間,成為一個下沉式的空間,可走進並坐在周遭的座椅上,成為可冥思與聚集的場所。中間方向可穿越老房子連結戶外場域,和戶外庭園共同形成新的觀看、移動與停留迴圈。往右側是整個場域中擁有最長景深的視點,團隊打開了原本阻隔兩棟房子的牆,形成和1/3處的嶄新連結,結合水霧系統和風扇空間裝置,一方面澆灌植物形成氣流,另一方面也創造隨風改變的模糊關係,在閱讀兩部分房子之間關係的同時,也讓觀看更有時間的向度。
Through reconstruction, 2/3 House initiates a dialogue with the new lives that came after its destruction. On one level, the project removed 1/3 of the house that was seriously damaged and collected the materials to restore the remaining 2/3, while on another level, it added a place for plants to grow on land vacated by the damaged 1/3 of the house, so the original residence has been transformed into a place for dialogues. 2/3 House has two entrances, one of which leads to the newly-constructed 1/3 of the house. The team transformed the original corner window room into a slowly rotating circular space with the damaged walls. The place is like a turntable of time, slowly transiting viewers into a new field, and in this rotating space, viewers face the sky while waiting, looking at the section of roof which remained after demolishment.
The newly-constructed 1/3 of the house is made of several elements, the first of which is a large wall extending to the outside. The wall allows visitors to get inside the old house from the rotating entrance and to get to know the “new” old house. Next is the curved staircase that leads to the rooftop, guiding visitors to move up from the garden entrance to experience the old house from a different perspective. Visitors are slowly raised up and are allowed to see the surrounding textures. Moving on, visitors can go into the gap in the roof and through the frames and beams, they find themselves once again inside the old house. The tour like being in a time machine, taking visitors from a new field through to experience the ambiance of the old building. The route also serves as a new roof to prevent the remaining 2/3 of the house from being damaged.
The other entrance to 2/3 House is the old, original entrance. The team designed three directions from which visitors could approach and experience the place. To the left is the original corner window room, which was reconstructed as a sunken space for meditation and for people to gather. They could simply walk in and sit down on the chairs provided. In the middle is the second option, which allows visitors to pass through the old house and connect with the outdoor space. It forms a place for viewing, moving, and staying, along with the outdoor garden. The viewing point to the right has the maximum depth of field in the entire location. The team opened up the wall that had blocked off the two houses, forming a new link with the new 1/3. With a water mist system and fan installations, the design blurs the boundaries of walls and rooms in the house with wind flows. Visitors can feel the sense of time and its background history while reading the relationship between the two parts of the house.
