On August 23, 1958, the Communist Party opened fire on Kinmen Island, dropping nearly 40,000 shells in a few hours. Over the next 44 days, the small island was bombarded with 470,000 shells. Decades later, the island transformed from a former military base into a tourist destination rich in war and military heritage. It has also played an essential role in fostering cross-strait peace by facilitating communication between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

The installation aims to showcase the resilience and rebirth of Kinmen. We utilize transparent plastic to 3D print the image of flowers blooming in the Kinmen landscape, scattering them on the beach as if sowing seeds of hope into the soil of history. During the day, the flowers sparkle in the reflected sunlight, while at night, they shimmer under special lighting effects. Alternating between day and night, shining and glimmering, this cycle symbolizes the transient nature of life and the renewed hope that each day brings.

1958年8月23日當天,金門的天空在數小時內突然落下近4萬發炮彈,接著往後的44天,一個小小的金門島就這樣承受了47萬發炮彈轟擊。數十年過去了金門沒有因為當年慘烈的激戰而沒落,反而慢慢地由昔日戰地轉變成富有戰地風情的觀光勝地,還承擔起兩岸溝通橋樑的先驅,為兩岸和平不可或缺的重要角色。

這個作品想要呈現的是金門保持著強烈的生命力等待重生的那一刻,我們利用透明的塑料PETG三維列印出類似繁花盛開在金門這塊土地的意象,將這些透明的軌跡埋入土壤中,猶如希望的種子佈滿在這個充滿回憶的沙灘上,當陽光灑上時會因為透明的材料關係產生耀眼的反射,就像綻放的花朵在這片沙灘上延綿開來;在夜晚中透過燈光的效果,呼應著用光的餘暉,彷彿就像曇花一樣稀有且珍貴,在日夜的交替中,白天的綻放加上夜晚的耀眼,這個輪迴也象徵著每天都會將新的希望和強烈生命力帶給所有人。

ABOUT

ROSO是一個前衛且跨學科的研究團隊。實驗室的主要目標為利用創新的機器人技術與運算設計思維,提供智能建造的流程,並利用當今各式各樣的新興科技相互碰撞下,開啟更多〈建築的想像力〉與〈建造的可能性〉之討論。

ROSO is an interdisciplinary research team. The main objective of the laboratory is to use innovative robotics technology and computational design thinking to provide diverse intelligent construction processes and solutions. Through the collision of various emerging technologies, ROSO aims to open up discussions on "the imagination of architecture" and "the possibilities of construction.
