the power of insensitivity 鈍感力

Watanabe Junichi 渡辺淳一

The power of insensitivity desribe a kind of personality written from Watanabe Junichia. It is a kind of life wisdom and attitude. Compared with the positive, making widely known and negative, those who have the power of insensitivity are easier to survive and achieve success in this complex modem society. Therefore, they live harmoniously with society and other people.

鈍感力,一個描述性格的詞彙。這個詞源於日本作家渡邊淳一《鈍感力》一書。鈍感族群其實和一般人不無不同只是他們敏感了些,而敏感的他們面對外在人事物時有著能選擇性遲鈍的能力,如此的生活態度無非是現代生活壓力下所演變出來的性格行為,以求適應這不斷變化的社會。

yongkang street 永康街

Yongkang business area is notable for its numerous local refined cuisines and exotic restaurants.Therefore, there are thousand of tourists visit here everyday. Local residents who lived neighbor are used to passing by this street and so many tourists. Sometimes, people would become deaf and dumb to face them.

永康街擁有繁榮的商業行為，吸引著各地觀光客來訪。對生活在周遭的居民，每日經過這繁華的街道，對於這些燈光、聲音的刺激影響，久而久之疲乏的他們，漸漸地對這些商業行為產生了無視與選擇性忽略的生活狀態。那這段回家的路又會是什麼模樣？

housing design 集合住居

In this housing design, I try to think between the city and the housing. Living in this bustling commerical area, residents sometimes may feel frustrated about their daily and enviornment. Therefore, they become to pursue their own utopia, which is hiden in the city. After working, although they still need to pass by the business and tourists, but they start to ignore what they don’t care, and only focus what they concentrated. It would become a new kind of life style for them to live in this rapid changing city.

集合住居；在不斷變化的社會中，鈍感力這樣的性格我認為是生活在都市漸漸形成的一種面對生活的方式。人們逐漸對於外界紛擾的事物無感，轉而追求自我生活空間的樂土。這個實驗性的集合住居，我試圖描述一段回家的過程及每個居住單元如何在城市、集合住宅體、單元住居、樂土空間之間的介面轉換。

I try to make the 1st floor like the surrounding commercial space to pretend into the environment. Above the second floor, the square wall is made by concrete and about 30cm, it would make the dweller feel safety and within the wall is their living area not the outside world. The holes on the facade are staggered the interior space to make the dweller living without the disturbance from the outside. But it doesn’t means they live in bad quality. Big windows and self-living areas face the middle courtyard to make a good air circulation and enough sunshine. Between the housing units, there are some trees to block the sight and also create the private and ambiguous neighbor relation. The dweller can peep the outside world by some angle and penetration between the facade and the housing. And every home, I create different specific space as their utopia.

設計操作；刻意在一層平面中維持沿街面上的商業行為，融入周遭現有的基地樣貌。而在二層以上的立面及平面安排上操作為單人及小家庭型態的住居空間，立面上的開口刻意與住宅室內空間錯開，因此居住者在其室內生活空間中有著與世隔絕的生活。但並非引此而缺乏光線與空氣。對內部的中庭空間開放大面積的開窗與生活空間，中庭裡的植栽配置成為住居單元之前的曖昧關係。量體與立面上的開洞，在某些角度與穿透之間，形成了居住者窺視外界的窗口。

The through sight between each of them is what I mainly consider. And in the courtyard, I also control the location of each trees to create the ambiguous relation between them.

1 一層平面圖 / 刻意將地面層設定與周遭環境的商業行為相同，隱藏於環境行為之中。 2 二層平面圖 / 每一個戶外樓梯單純的對應二至三個居住單元，使居住者進入集合住宅後能有各自返家的路徑。而對於居住者來說，二層平面其實才是他們住居空間的開始，配置設定為生活空間、廚房及庭院空間。 3 三層平面圖 / 從平面圖可以看出每個居住其實是分散開來且保有一定距離，希望彼此之間的生活是相對隱私的因此對於混凝土牆的對應及開窗上的錯位是我在這個設計中有刻意思考的部分，並且，中庭數的位置的配置也是刻意創造在大面積開窗之下，戶戶相對距離與視線之間產生的曖昧關係。 4 四層平面圖 / 部分為小家庭為臥室空間，單人住宅為頂上庭院等休憩空間。 | 27

2017 旅宿空間系統李明澤老師地方感，人文主義地理學鄉愁符號/ 位居地方/ 擇居/ 旅宿系統

| 37

Do you believe someone who live in the same place ever since he was little, he still feel a kind of nostalgic in his mind? Nostalgia is not described the homesickness only, even more it’s a strong expectation for a desirable place. “Place” in human geography is emphasized. When a space which is given its meaning and interpretation by a person, space become place.

如果一個人從小到大都生活在同一個地方，你相信他心中仍然存在著一股鄉愁嗎？「鄉愁」並非純粹描述對於故鄉的思念之情，更多的是對於另一個場域所寄託的期盼，而期盼在被化作實際行動後，藉著旅行經驗來滿足心中空缺的情懷。「地方感」在人文主義地理學中強調地方（place）有別於空間（space），當空間被一個主體賦予其意義、情感、詮釋之後，地方在其心中就此建立，因此地方必然是一個主體的,體而非獨立存在的概念。

捕霧 recognition of place | 39

tourism gaze / the space was chosen, because people have expectations, but that was based on symbols which are not related to the place.

place deviation / the space evolved to fulfill the needs of tourism,but locals lose their memories, thus lost their identity of space.

1 觀光凝視 / 地方之所以會被選擇凝視是因為人們對地方有所期待，但期待往往建立在種種與地方無關的事物之上，導致地方充斥著各種觀光消費性的符號 2 地方偏移 / 指地方為了滿足觀光而逐漸失去其應有的模樣，以致當地居民失去了辨識其歸屬感的樣貌 | 41

nostalgic symbols 鄉愁符號

Person who reject the longtime false tourism impression try to follow their imagination and cognition to experience the settlement. Their trip would become different ever and ever. Even more their expectation and imagination would become a kind of elements during their trip so that they can experience a place where they never image.

我認為地方認知的建構如果擺脫了觀光凝視所塑造的符號假象，而純粹的回歸到以每個人(主體)為出發點所產生的認知與想像，我稱之為「鄉愁符號」。那它就不單單只是呈現地方的真實樣貌和地景，更多的畫面會是來自於主體在行動前、旅途中對地方所寄託的期待及移情作用之下所轉化成的空間遊歷經驗；也就是前述的space轉變成place的過程。

raifung 瑞芳

Raifung is a rainy and foggy mountain village. It was once a vibrant town because of the construction of railways and developement of the mining industry. With the help of tourism the decaying town has been given a rebirth. Nowadays, People always take trains to Raifung station then transfer to Jiufen or Pingxi. Therefore, Raifung become a short-stay transfer station. People can recognize this place by symbols from other places, therefore, lacking the sense of localism.

瑞芳是一個多雨易起霧的山城聚落，曾經繁榮的礦產聚落，在衰落後又再度因觀光產業而再次興起。而現在的瑞芳，人們總是到這裡轉乘到九份或平溪這些觀光勝地，導致瑞芳成為一個短暫停留的轉運站，也使旅人失去了對瑞芳原本應該有且獨特的地方認知。

strategy 設計操作

In my designed strategy. Raifung is my experimental site and I try to create a hotel living system. You will find the sense and place which is similer to your image and nostagic symbols in this mountain trip. Then the place would become the place where you gonna live in. I try to operate two different site which are unique in mountain living experience. In these two kinds of living attitude in the settlement, you would find what you desire and emptiness.

我嘗試建構一套旅宿行為來挑戰這個必經卻路過的場域,瑞芳作為我操作的實驗場。在建構地方感的過程中,那些被你所移轉的情緒、情感在尋找過程中開始產生相對應的場景。而符合你所期待的場景將成為擇居旅宿的可能選擇點,擇居是對於符合寄託期待的場景所產生渴望停留與定居的選擇行為,是真切的反應自身所渴望的地方樣貌。基地位於瑞芳火車站周遭兩處聚落,因山城條件下造就的獨特樣貌與氛圍,嘗試以不同的生活方式與態度介入這兩個聚落,使旅宿者藉由滿足這樣的旅宿經驗滿足他心中的那股渴望。

site a parallel alley settlement 平行巷聚落

This parallel allay is situated between the mountain. Their living space is crowded, therefore the sense of local life is lively and close.

處在山凹之中的平行巷弄,狹窄的巷道隨著地形及量體的擠壓而平行排列,居民間生活門對門往來密切,生活感尤其彰顯。

| 61

parallel alley settlement 平行巷聚落

I try to put the hotel living function patchily. In the alley, there are a shared kitchen, bookhouse, bath house and some living units. Shared kitchen is at the lane entrance and they can communicate with each other here. Then, you will find a book house. When you walk into the bookhouse narrow lane, you direction would be change to vertical way to close the nature. Bathhouse is at the final. Following the topography and the walking experience, you will feel the enviornment which is reality.

此處設計的旅宿系統嘗試以散落的旅館機能分佈在聚落中, 分別為共享廚房、書屋巷、澡堂與居住單元;設計操作上,巷仔口的廚房作為序列開頭與交流的凝聚點,書屋巷以垂直路徑脫離平行向度的方式使人切換到接觸環境的軸向,澡堂作為序列上的尾端,伴隨地形與澡前澡後的身體感迫使人感知到山城環境的真實存在。

parallel alley settlement plan

Bathhouse In the end of hotel area, bathhouse has two part, the upper one is for male, and the lower one is for female. 澡堂作為旅宿系統的最後，主要區分為路徑向上與向下兩部分澡堂。

Bookhouse The bookhouses have three main units to create some small lane to connect the behind road. And I design the bridge system to connect each other to create a different height vision on the second floor. 書屋巷主要由三個書屋組成，書屋可供旅宿者查詢的簡易場所，也可作為當地居民閱讀的空間。以書屋彼此間產生的小巷創造出垂直向度的串流。二樓的空橋系統彼此連接試圖在擁擠的巷弄間創造出不同高度上的視覺經驗。

Shared kitchen Especially, I put this most public space in the begining of the settlement to make this area become their commen house door as an entrance when they are back to here. Therefore, they would communicate with each other, and also share their meal here. 共享廚房將這個開放性最強的機能設定在巷仔口，藉此使這區域成為如同平行巷的大門，旅宿者與居民能夠在此寒暄談天或者共享晚餐。

serial section / When you arrive the entrence of the settlement, you would smell the tasty food. Here is the dining space for travelers and residents sharing their dinner. The light stream out through the windows. It’s make the resident know that there are some visitor coming here today. Then, walking to the middle of the alley, there are some bookhouses. When you pass the small lane between the bookhouse, maybe you would smell moldy from books. After, you get a novel to read on the second floor. Siting down and looking into the story through the corner of your eyes which saw the moss roof in front, you start to know that the environment is moist. Evergthing stay in the wet air long time here are moldy. In the evening, you follow the lane up and down and enter the bath house. After taking a bath, when you get back to the outside environment, your body shiver with cold automatically. 平行巷連續剖面 / 離開老街再走上一段路後來到了巷仔口，菜香飄散在整個巷口廣場，居民與旅人在此切磋著自己拿手的菜餚，這裡的共享廚房和小廣場可以算是這巷子裡居民的另一個家門口，也算是旅行者進入旅館的大門。二樓窗戶中透出的床頭燈暗示著今日有旅行者的來訪，這個廚房成為了居民、旅宿者相聚、寒暄的聚集點。逐漸走往巷弄中段的書屋，拐了個彎走進書屋巷中，在狹窄屋巷穿梭著，時不時能聞到一股書霉味；在書屋中翻出了本遺忘已久的小說後，尋了個位子，翻起了書；餘光飄向鄰居屋頂上的青苔痕，腦中屋巷的書霉味與青苔痕產生了對應而意識到這裡的日常生活存在著環境因子的強烈影響。晚間拿著衣服走往後巷，連續上了幾個坡後來到了澡堂之間，往上或往下隨著地形和屋頂的空間壓縮進入到澡堂中；脫去衣物後踏入濕熱的水氣中，洗去一天下來的疲倦；而當重新回到澡堂門口時，冷冷的空氣使身體不自覺地打了個冷顫。

site b village behind railway tunnel 隧道後聚落

This village behind railway tunnal is surrounded by the mountain and an abandoned tunnel. Therefore, people who live in here must pass the tunnel to go outside everyday. The village stay unknown and independent.

聚落因為地形與鐵路的包圍使其只能以一個廢棄的鐵路隧道與外界交流,因此造就聚落的氛圍孤立而遺世獨立。

village behind railway tunnal 隧道後聚落

In this site, I hope the hotel system been minimize, because the traveler is just like a temporary neighbor for the residents. Living in the village, you would hear the voice of the train, pass the water dripping tunnel, go up to a ramp, face the chatting neighbors and grow your own vegetables everyday. This kind of local lifestyle can make the traveler clearly experience the village.

設計操作的旅宿系統嘗試以一個單位做為介入的方式,使影響最微小化。當旅行者進入聚落後,他對當地居民來說不過是個暫時的鄰居,居民的生活同樣持續進行著。住宿者的家在聚落的最深處,藉由每天經過的廢棄隧道、火車聲、爬坡路、居民會面寒暄、菜園的行走路徑,使旅行者能切身的經驗這個聚落獨有的生活模式。

There is only a hotel unit in the end of the village and I hope this traveler can be minimize for here. 這裡的旅宿系統只以一個單元作為介入，並挑選在聚落路徑的最末端，希望以最微小的影像與聚落共生。

village behind railway tunnal plan

storyboard / Following an unknown way of an abandoned tunnel, you must feel scared but excited and slowly get close to the exit with faint light. There are about only four or five family in this village. When you are walking up, you may walking in on the neighborhood chatting in front of their houses. Then, you keep walking up to bcak to your room. In the dinner time, you share your meal with them, and enjoy the evening scenery. 場景分鏡圖 / 隧道引領著一個未知的經驗，抱著期待卻又膽怯的心情踏入隧道，猶豫著每個前進的步伐緩慢的走向另一端微弱的陽光。走出隧道口迎面而來的是一段向上的緩坡和僅僅四五戶人家的矮房。在這裡生活的每天都須經過這個不斷滴水的隧道回到聚落，爬上坡後時常可以撞見鄰居在這裡曬衣服、聊天，再往裡頭走一段路就能回到旅館。開放的廚房成為旅行者邀請居民共享晚餐的聚會點，前面的菜園是旅人和當地居民共同栽種的收成。夜晚依著微弱的桌燈閒話家常、坐在平台邊眺望出去的是層層的山巒和隨著天氣變化的霧色，在這個生活的日子不自覺地也過去了半個多月。
