111 Scenes
By documenting the material exchanges that take place in transitory spaces, in the exchanges and occurrences of daily life, we connect with those which have been taken place over centuries. Bamboo has materially adapted in parallel to human history, by being carved, woven, joined, shifting in form, increasing in mass, deceasing in our collective psyches; through re-abbreviation, gaining meaning and producing symbolism. Throughout this time is has retained its position as a silent signifier to the past and gives rise to a possibility of a future.
The concept of the ‘Baasher Ghor’ or ‘Bamboo House’ seeks to look beyond the means of a self-contained place with a fixed setting, or one singular view, it is instead an abode of many openings and entrances, of multiple frontages and enclosures. The house is still defined by its material essence with inexhaustible connections and still retains the ability to adapt alongside our changing human senses whilst still remaining at core, a house made of bamboo.
‘Baasher Ghor’ presents 35 projects from architects, designers, sculptors, photographers, oral historians and poets from four continents. Each respondent has looked at the material within a narrative in space, connecting it to a real or imaginary place or country of origin.
111個場景
在稍縱即逝的空間裡，日常交易與生活事件記錄著物質的交換，我們與這些行為相連結已經好幾個世紀。竹子質材的使用方式，與人類發展的歷史平行產生，從雕刻、編織、結合、外觀上的更換、大眾化使用，甚至在我們的集體心理中消失。透過重新縮寫，獲得意義和產生象徵意義，同時還保持著某種無聲的符號，有著通往過去和未來的可能性。
〝竹屋計畫〞所找尋的概念遠超出一個獨立〝房子〞本身的設置，或者是一個單一觀點，相反的，這個計畫是找尋一個居所可能具有的開放空間、入口，建築物的立面以及圍欄，這個〝竹屋〞顧名思義仍是以竹子為核心質材，並且保有竹子本身無限延伸的連結與適應人類演變的特質。
〝竹屋計畫〞展現來自四大洲，35位建築師、設計師、雕塑家、攝影師、口述歷史學者與詩人，回應了對於竹子的看法，如同對空間的描述，並與真實或者想像的空間/ 國家/區域相連接。
