Amid the tides of time, architecture bears witness to change. Located on an elementary school campus, the project adapts a rare Japanese-colonial–era residential building into a rush-weaving classroom. Rather than restoring a relic, the design opens a dialogue between history and everyday life, creating a third space between memory and use.
The space integrates exhibitions, furniture, and rush installations to form an immersive learning environment, where teaching unfolds in the scent of rush grass, engaging sight, touch, and smell to anchor memory and connect students with the local context. Design interventions are restrained and reversible: a steel stair mediates level differences, displays follow the original storage logic, polished fair-faced bricks become soft flooring, and circular lighting strips introduce flowing light beneath the roof structure, shaping an open atmosphere for learning and exchange.
在時代變遷中，建築作為見證者，於同一場域承載不同空間身分。基地位於國小校園內，是少見仍保存於校園中的日治宿舍型歷史建築，蘊含教育、生活與時代記憶的多重層次。
植藺小舍由昔日的家常空間，轉化為藺草文化的教學現場，從靜態遺跡成為可被進入與感知的沉浸式教育場域。我們不以復原為目標，而以當代表述重新開啟歷史與生活的對話，形塑介於記憶與使用之間的第三空間。空間融合展示、家具與藺草裝置，教學活動浸潤於藺草芳香之中，透過視覺、觸覺與嗅覺深化學習，建立學生與地方的連結。
設計以鋼梯與識別系統作為轉換起點，調和內外高程差；內部採可逆工法提升使用彈性，展示延續宿舍儲物邏輯。材料選用三孔紅磚轉化為地坪，燈光以環形光軌串聯屋架秩序，營造適合教學與交流的開放氛圍。
We moved the existing chicken coop from a closed corner to the center of an open area and used a smooth curved white metal fence to gently create a concave field under the Taiwan Golden-rain tree. By connecting the big trees, the food garden, and the composting space.In this ohm-shaped chicken coop fence, children can observe lives of the chicken closely, from the chicken name cards, egg racks, feeding, one can interact with the chicken. This resmebles the connection between life.
