《重建天堂鎮》是一個從生態學角度思考的設計作品,主要目的為促進建築設計師對防火韌性設計的重新探討。研究與設計的起點在於美國加州2017年受難的天堂鎮:95%受損的建築物體現了現有設計的微不足道;三年後仍是荒島的小鎮也面臨了重建家園的挑戰。作品從災難的原根中(堅韌性強的林火生態系統)獲得了啟發,將通過大自然的韌性原則取出更佳的防火設計建築方案,從中嘗試建造出一個更頑強的天堂鎮。

 

Rebuilding Paradise is a project that approaches wildfire resilient design from an ecological perspective; it taps on resilience in ecology as a way to evoke new discourse on the conventional idea of hyper-defensive resilient design. 

 

To better understand the magnitude of the wildfire crisis, the project looks to California, the American state under the highest wildfire risk. In 2018, the Camp Fire ravaged through the town of Paradise, decimating 95% of structures in its wake. The tragedy sets the precedent for this project in attempting to design for an alternative solution for wildfire vulnerable, suburban towns like Paradise.
