MATERIAL

# 認識材質

面對陌生且從未使用過的竹籐材質，透過親手加工的 摸索方式產生對材質的認識，在沒有先備知識與案例

參考的限制下，對材質特性和可能性的經驗與認知全 來自自己的實作，期待這樣的安排能影響同學們，未

來在面對一項陌生材質時，能保有好奇心去親手認識、 挖掘可能，像遠古人類面對還沒有名字的萬物時，去 看見月亮、感覺風、認識火。

By means of processing with bare hands to be

acquainted with unfamiliar rattans and bamboos,

and without any existing knowledge and reference, attendees build an utterly new understanding of

the perspectives and possibilities in the materials.

The practice, as a stimulus to the students,

would make them maintain the curiosity to learn practically, like ancient people discover the

nameless universe, see the moon, feel the wind, and realize the fire.

TEAMWORK

# 團隊合作

參與的同學們是來自建築系與工業設計系的大三和大 四學生，一共二十七人，分成七組，每組三至四人，

在分組安排上刻意讓每組成員都來自不同科系和班 級，同學們要和不認識的成員們一起進行每階段的任

務，從中開始認識彼此、磨合、達成共識、完成任務。 Participants are juniors and seniors from

departments of architecture and industrial

design, in a total of 27 people. They are divided into 7 groups, and 3 to 4 attendees per group.

Arbitrarily, every member is selected from different departments and classes, so that they will teamup with unknown people to finish the tasks in each stage. Through this cooperation among

themselves, they manage to be familiar with, to get used to, to reach a consensus with, and to

complete the assignments with the teamwork.

workshop, Sofia from B a r ba ra f ro m i n d u st r i a l design department and

I had an agreement that we can’t provide any

possible solutions to the students� projects no m atte r h o w f r u st rat i n g , painful, and timeless they

may develop. “What do you think is the reason for

this development? Is there

any unsatisfactory part of

the current development?

What can you do to improve it?” We tr y to ask our

students and guide them to

figure out how to proceed.

I n i t i a l l y, st u d e n t s w e r e

unfamiliar with each ot h e r. D u r i n g t h e p h a s e

discussion, most of them

explained their own parts.

They didn’t understand

each other’s attempts, and even try to compete with

each other. At this time, the team works together

is only for achieving the number of tasks required, instead of reaching common discussion and cooperation.

In order to guide more co o p e ra t i o n a m o n g t h e

students, in the phase discussion, we often try to

find out the differences or

REVIEW

similarities among team members, encourage these independent developments to have more

connections, generate more communication, and develop into true cooperation.

At the phase “PATTERNS OF UNITS”, many

groups are struggling with speculating units.

Patterns and linking relationship are large and complex messages. We guide them to deal

with it consciously and ask them to clear the currently-known message. “What outcome do

we have now? What is the relationship between

materials?” Figure out what are the difficulties.

“Why is there no way to get out of the plane

now? To construct a solid structure, which

parts should we adjust?” To Solve complicate problems, they should deal with it step by step.

In just five days, every member, from strangers to friends and partners who share consensus, knows what the group was developing and the

difficulties they were facing. This allows them to work together to achieve the same goal. I also found that some groups with specific students

who can lead the team have particularly good communication and closer relationship. These

groups can start a division of labor faster, perform tasks more efficiently, and even have much

spare time to expand the scale of the work.

During the final presentation, the students

introduced their works and shared the harvest of the process. Interestingly, the most painful part of

the development process is the same as the part they considered the happiest and most fulfilling.

Staying away from comfort zone really makes people grow up.
