與沙同樂: 沙丘 群島 沙灘

 

沙子，在新加坡是珍貴、稀少、但卻也是不起眼的存在物質。

以國家角度來看，沙子在新加坡的是富政治性的，因為在沙

子的鋪填下，領土得以無聲無息中擴張，所以沙子是不可張

揚的國家敘事。

本論文重新將「沙」視為一種擁有獨特觸覺與非凡屬性的物質，

從個人觀點、物質結構及風景景觀三種視角出發，設計三種

皆以沙的特性與應用的建築模式，來闡述沙子可以成為擁有

超高生產率的休閒基礎設施的可能，設計中利用人們對沙子

流動的感知來創造與實現設施結構體的經濟效應。

 

Sand is a precious yet unremarkable commodity.

away from sand’s instrumentalist narrative, this thesis Shifting

reinvigorates sand as a distinctly tactile and extraordinary

material/matter/form using narrative, allegorical structures and

landscapes. Located beside three sand stockpiles in

Singapore are three sand-inspired commentaries manifested

as hyper-productive leisure infrastructure to recast sand’s

muted politics. The precarity of the Dunes – a series of leaking

san an existing army range. The hedonistic landscape of the

d walls and funnels housing a shooting range adjacent to

Archipelago – parked next to a marina with luxury yachts,

working barges are unmoored and transformed by night into

party venues floating around the island. And the artifice of the

Beach – an elevated world-class beachscape combining

e for frolicking without risk. Each intervention juxtaposes

very conceivable beach facility furnished with sanitised sand

commonplace perceptions of sand against its brute

economics as raw material for land reclamation and building.
