南方公路的異樣所在

行駛在屏鵝公路的過程中，狹長的平原夾擠在山脈與海平線之間，是一種南方公路特有的水平地景。我以台鐵恆春支線計畫預計於枋山新設的站體作為出發點，選擇了預設站址及周邊公路兩側既有的公路休息站作為操作對象。我想以建築表達的是透過對基地現有自然與人造物脈絡的閱讀，並由兩面性和水平性的建築觀念作為操作的方向，使建築並存於現況中自然與人造物不協調的狀態，讓我們在南方公路漫長的旅途中發現看似尋常卻存有異樣的場景。

The vast and horizontal landscape is a particular scenery which belongs to the southern highway, as if everything is stretched and infinite. Apart from the existing nature, two major artificial things form the highway landscape. One is the heavy and brutal infrastructure such as embankments and asphalts, embedded into the landscape through a large scale. The other is the light and messy object such as signs and corrugated structures, randomly growing on both sides of the highway. 

Based on the Taiwan Railways Administration’s Hengchun branch line plan, I chose the projected station and nearby highway rest stops which are located between rows of mango trees and uncultivated land as my site. Through the observation of the current context, the architecture attempts to coexist with the seemly disorder relations of nature and artificial. Therefore, to unveil the uncanny from the endless journey heading south.
