We walk upon the earth, while everything above and beneath us moves at its own rhythm, all intricately interwoven.
In the vastness of the world and the smallness of human existence, I contemplate how architectural movement can help us deeply engage with our surroundings, discovering our place in relation to the world.
Having twice danced on the edge of life’s limits, I extend my movement beyond existing mountain trails, exploring human perception and understanding of the environment. The structures we pass are shaped by the very forces of nature—the gravity of the forest canopy, the buoyancy of lake waters, the solidity of rock formations. We carve out spaces from the layers of the earth, delving into its essence, where primitive emotions intertwine with modern techniques, expanding human experience beyond its physical limits.
The untouchable becomes tangible—rising waters, floating steps, tunnels carved through interwoven rock layers, towering trees seen from beneath their shallow roots. Perhaps we get wet, only to find warmth again underground, leaning against earth walls shaped by dried stalks. Using our bodies as instruments to measure the world, we come to realize that every fragment we step upon is already connected to something far greater, extending into the vast and distant unknown.

#For where I stand and the earth turns – Wander and See
連動環境中的片段移動 – —— 且走且看
Fragments into linkage – —— wanderlust ,and serendipity

我們在大地上走著，身上身下的各個事物在依著自己的步伐活動，一切又都是相互牽引著。
世界之大，人之渺小，我在思考建築行動該如何幫助我們深觸這個世界，找尋自身和事物相處的位置。

歷經兩次在生命極限上歡快地遊走，我於山間延展既有山徑之外的移動經驗，討論人類對環境的理解和認知：途經的構築都建構於環境自身的力量 —— 沿途林相的重力、湖水的浮力、岩石的支撐力。我們從地面層以下撐出滿足需求的空間，深入這塊土地的本質，帶有原始的情愫又因現代技術而使經驗超越人體所能企及的深度和廣度。
不可觸知的身外之物得以被觸碰更多 —— 高漲的水、因而浮動的踏階、鑽入層層交疊的岩壤、越過淺淺的根系仰望挺拔的喬木……也許會弄濕身子，而後在地底下，我們倚著被禾桿形塑的土牆回溫乾燥。憑藉著身體做為丈量世界的工具，從我們踏著的每一個小局部，意識到一切在很遠很廣的地方就都是相互連動著。
