不去做你想要做的事，就永遠無法誕生新的創作。我想要看從來沒看過的東西！我想要接觸美的東西！

這就是我想創作最大的理由。 If you dont do what you want, you cant get new creation. I want to see something that never seen before. I want to touch something beautiful.

This is my biggest reason of my creation.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY

我是康力升，今年27歲，就讀工業設計科系畢業後，在城市裡曾以遊牧型態做過很多類型的工作，發現唯有創作能療癒自身，曾為「少少原始感覺研究室」、「自然洋行建築事務所」擔任設計與藝術創作。

之所以選擇在少少原始感覺研究室原因，因與大自然共生而獲得能量，彷彿一個棲身之所，想讓創作更接近更原始與自然，在這段期間我理解這個世界的方式是城市／自然、文明／自然、開發／原始，諸如此類的二分法，所以選擇在偏僻的地方並不是神祕也不特別，只是想讓自身創作回歸自然與原始。

喜歡接觸新的人事物，此外對於自己創作充滿理想與抱負。一直以來，我知道這些經驗與態度不過是展現自我的渺小，必須先學會蹲點，才有可能慢慢接近理想的狀態。

熱愛手作、工藝、藝術、展覽以及追求美的事物。以最直接的方式 - 手和材質的接觸 - 將之形象化，不規則表面手感，記錄了每一個按壓與塑形的瞬間，所投射出自身的狀態。

本身具備美感、藝術創作、時尚金工、PhotoShop、Illustrator、CorelDRAW、sketch up。

熬野生草藥入浴

Bathing with wild herb-medicine 山有力量，從雙腳到呼吸 — 自然的力量進入體內，如果不在覺知之中，我們卻不一定能察覺到。

身體可以儲存生態界的自然力量，並且透過意識引導可以將這份自然傳遞到另一個人身體上。解構、重組，成為另一種型態、或場域。

而這樣的異質結合的過程中，有什麼被重新定義了、或是建造了？或許在另一個次元的空間裡，紙淤泥與水泥，並存於同一片森林中的花與木吧。材質：紙淤泥、水泥、鐵網、油毛氈 Mountain, being part of nature, has a natural bond with

mankind which penetrates and becoming every part of us unintentionally.

Human bodies act as a vessel to absorb, contain, and transfer the Power of Nature to others through the connection of consciousness.

Reconstruction and Reformation ‒ the power of nature exist in various forms and states.

Through such a process, has it been redeﬁned? Or has

there been a new creation? Perhaps in an alternate dimension, paper sludge and cement could coexist within living plants of our ecosystem.

Material: paper sludge, cement, iron mesh, oil felt

總是會失敗的。

有了失敗，作品會變得更美。我如此深信。

I truly believe, With failure, the

creation will become more beautiful.

象形茶室

The Pictogram

teahouse

象形茶室是一座通過回收銀川當地雞蛋包裝紙盒溶解後再泡製成的容器空間，提供人們作為各種活動的可能性。而回收雞蛋盒紙漿是一種可恆變

的材料，在使用與回收之間不斷循環著，紙漿的本色未經漂白而能夠回應原環境色澤，通過這種日常短暫存在的軟性細微脆弱的紙纖材料思考「建築硬體空間形成的可能性」。

The Pictogram House, is an undefined structure constructed of recycle eggshell collected from Yin Chuan prefecture. Eggshells were dissolved and soaked in water, granting it property to be morphed and molded with infinite possibilities. The eggshells brownish texture was intentionally left untouched, in hope to reflect the origin of nature. Through soaking and dissolving, the temporary liquidity state of the substance has reinvented the“Possibilities of a Space Formation”. The design intention was strongly inspired by a part of the story of “Little Prince”, which a painting was intended to illustrate the phenomenon of “an elephant swallowed by a snake”. On the contrary, adults interpreted the exact painting merely as a painting of “a hat”. The scene was intended to highlight the“Reasoning”of adults’mindsets, where imagination has been robbed by harsh reality. The design was to encourage users to be immersed in their own imagination and to explore the space within,

where there was no specific explanation or definition for the structure. The intention was to engage the five senses to rediscover an inner world where imagination, peace and new life can be found. Construction of the Pictogram House was completed with locally available material which to avoid transportation and minimize workload to reduce carbon footprint. Yet, the magic of the Pictogram House only manifested through the indefinite functionality of the structure. To the users, it can be interpreted a space, or not, which all depends on the users’inner“Little Prince”.

告解室

Confessional Room

婆羅洲半島是世界上著名熱帶雨林區之一，它的浩

瀚與遼闊僅僅次於我們熟悉的亞馬遜河雨林，這片號稱地球肺部之一的熱帶雨林，成為了許多華人的家。他們生於斯長於斯，居民的住所從不同的種族

到土著，從臨時居住所到部落長屋，每個都反映了族群自身的背景和豐富的文化。

我們試著就地取材使用婆羅洲當地的樹皮與藤皮，希望從他們多年的經歷中，融合祖先的智慧，喚起

當地的感知能力，結合幾千年來與大自然共存共享

的傳統思想與時代變遷的交融下產生對婆羅洲「一種找回人與大自然和諧關係的想像」。

每塊樹皮肌理或觸感有著些微不同，這是樹皮的魅力。從隙縫中能稍微瞧見樹皮的端倪，卻能感受到極薄、溫柔的材質，一種能與無邊無際之感覺世界

相聯繫的概念。我們期待在此能夠打開一扇窗，開啟關於樹皮之未來的嶄新認識。

Borneo, is home to one of the largest tropical rainforest in the world. The extensiveness of the region is only second to the Amazon Rainforest. Dwellings of the inhabitants vary from diverse races to indigenous

people, each reﬂecting the abundance of the group’s own background and culture. Discovering and

utilizing from the essence of the land itself, local materials such as tree barks and rattan were chosen to

express the magniﬁcent character of Borneo to evoke

re-imagination of the bond and unity of between

mankind and nature, by blending the ancestors’ wisdom in balance and harmony while reckoning the alterations of modern world.

The diversities in character and textures of each piece of tree bark enriches one’s experience in the sense of

touch. The tenderness and ﬁneness of the tree barks could be captured from the expressiveness of the permeability toward light source. The idea is to create

a possibility and link to the inﬁnite world through the 32

exploration of both tree barks and senses.

MICRO

ARCHITECTURE

設計理念

利用微空間作為構想，觀察植物的細節、觀察建築物的結構，將這些支微末節統和，加以放大、延伸；可以見到每個結構之間仍有許多線條與線條之間所交疊出來的空間，甚至有更多我們肉眼看不見的空間同時存在著。讓桌子不再只是一張桌子，更是一個藝術品。 Micro Architecture Concept

作品特性

突破桌子以往的功能性概念，讓桌子不再只是放置商品的配角，即使只是擺放展示，也不容易被忽略。

再具有引人目光注意的外形設計外，交錯的桌體結構更能加強桌子所能負荷的載重量，且更加強了穩固性，不易翻倒造成危險，將一個藝術品同時兼具了實用性與美觀性，增添了擺設空間的氣氛與陳列的質。 Feature

「我常覺得，創作走到哪一種狀態，會出現哪一種創作的方式，覺得這中間，對我來講，應該就是一種緣份吧。」

「很多事情當你更深入去瞭解它之後，就像我的作品，你會發現它裡面有結構，那些結構會不斷地互相支撐，它是會變出一個強度出來的。
