中山橋

痕跡是一種動態過程，使物件的狀態產生變化。

這種動態過程同時具備當下與過去的時間性，當這種狀態經過時間、衰敗加深、到達極端值後，痕跡將轉變而成為廢墟／遺跡，使這個被痕跡佔據的物件被重新解釋與認知，讓物件和空間在失去機能後，依舊能繼續辯證與對話。

２００２年，位於台北市中山區與士林區的交界處，中山橋在天災、城市以及政治問題下被暫時拆除，橋體在人工裂解後，暫時放置於鄰側的水岸，編號後將其列為歷史建築物，規劃在未來某時重組。中山橋曾是兩個區域的重要連接道路，當一個重要構造體成為暫時遺跡、轉變成一個地理位置，如何理解它與原橋的關係？橋體以完整體的身分被裂解成４３５塊單獨的塊體，在這個狀態的轉變下，橋體介於遺跡與構造物之間的狀態，在極可能於未來某日重構，亦可能持續暫時放置的條件之下，我們該怎麼定義橋體的存在與否？以橋樑的重建工程為起點，我想透過執行重建工程的工務所與重建的橋體，以紀念性的操作方向，使兩者的狀態相互辯證，定義橋體的狀態，使建築與橋體以一種另類的意義存在於河岸中。

Trace is a dynamic process, is the changing condition of an object.

This process includes present and past at the same time, after the times go by trace and decay will reach its peak and turn into ruin. Therefore, the object will be redefined and re-recognized.

Ruin can be seen as a glorious building which used to exist or exist as an unfinished construction at the same time, existing in two peaks in different perspectives, both stable and fragile, glorious and depraved. The object will show its abstraction and materiality after loss of integrity, when the entire object changes into 1/2 or 1/100, the amount of information is different, become the interval of cognition.

In 2002, Zhongshan bridge has been temporarily removed due to the causing flood and politics. The whole bridge was categorized then taken apart into 435 different parts and numbered then preserved by the river for later reconstruction. Parts of the bridge are left between ruin and structure at the same time. How do we define the condition when a major infrastructure connecting two major regions becomes a ruin and overcome the connection to history and geographic significance? Starting by reconstructing the bridge, though monumental architecture, letting the New Bridge exist and narrate its own debate of conflict, standing along the river side with a whole new meaning.
