尋找另一種時間

協商遊牧主義與定居主義

我一直對建築物的生命充滿了好奇。這裡不是指人類在其中的居住、生態或其他任何生物的存在，而是建築本身。建築與時間的關係通常被標記為對抗性的，一場耐力的較量。我們很少考慮它將如何經受時間的流逝，更少關心它的「死亡」。因此，問題在於，不同的時間觀念會如何改變我們對建築的構思和建造方式？

為了發展一種能夠應對不同時間形式的建築，我借鑒了循環時間模型，這在遊牧生活方式中尤為明顯。更具體地說，我關注的是巴瑤族（Bajau Laut）海上遊牧民，他們因定居國家的線性時空觀念而被邊緣化。這篇論文推測了一種以巴瑤族時間觀念為基礎的建築設計，這種設計在他們的遊牧生活方式與定居狀態之間進行調和與協商。

Negotiating Nomadism and Sedentarism

I have always been fascinated by the life of buildings. Not human’s inhabitation in them, ecology, or any other living thing but the building itself. A building’s relationship with time is often labeled as an antagonistic one, a battle of endurance of sorts. We do not often think of how it will endure the passage of time much less render concern for its mortality. Thus beckons, how could a different conception of time change the way we conceive and construct architecture?

To develop an architecture that addresses a different form of time I looked towards the cyclical model, evident in the nomadic lifestyle. More specifically the Bajau Laut, a group of sea nomads disenfranchised by the linear concepts of space-time of the sedentary state. The thesis speculates on an architecture that is formulated with the Bajau Laut’s sense of time, a negotiation between their nomadism and the sedentary state.
