台中惠中寺計畫 2015

設計概念 雲水之間
這個案子是個有拿到的比圖案,同時應該也是我跟楊老闆(楊瑞禎建築師)配合的最後的一個設計案。
2014年我44歲,已經離開新聯陽兩年,獨立開業,主要業務是參加在台中的兩個住宅開發案,跟一個礁溪的飯店規劃案。楊老闆那天打電話問我有沒有空參加比圖時,我幾乎是立即答應。跟楊老闆一起做設計是件過癮的事,他會讓我盡量發揮想像力去構思整個案子,同時在他的事務所比圖組裡,盡力去扮演一個設計主力的角色。我後來常在想,或許他當時在觀察我適不適合帶比圖,同時想告訴我他要的設計是甚麼吧。
我這個案子的設計概念幾乎是第一時間腦中就浮現的一幅畫面:在一片水面上、雲霧渺渺、非常純潔、非常的潔淨。設計元素由經卷、光盒子、水盤、格柵、迴廊組成。建物外觀是塊體組成,每個部分有實質跟抽象的意義。
我們當初賦予這棟建築除了宗教集會的角色之外,同時作為重劃區先行的建成物跟基地比鄰高鐵旁,也期盼應該像燈塔一樣,給人一種穩定的信念,看到這棟建築,就知道「到家了!」。
我想,楊老闆現在應該已經到家了!
