慢活 「人出生、结婚、生活、死亡...，一切显得如此混乱而急切，仿佛随时都可能发疯。」~ William Dean Howells，1907 这是「慢活」这本书序言里的第一句话。从慢食概念延伸而来的慢活，是一种在充满速度感的现代社会里所发起的减速运动。它向各种形式的速度崇拜宣战，抵抗速度的奴役。 甚少曝光住宅案的设计师林马克(Mark Lintott)，为了这个住宅案，执行过程一共持续了三年。它的坪数不大，是台湾中南部经常可以瞧见的透天厝型态，但它却是一个不折不扣、由慢工细活所打造的空间。它展现了质重于量的特质，进而与人、与生活、与工作、与一切建立真实而有意义的接触。当然最后的结果也是一种无须赘言的设计体现，甚至是设计与施工两者结合的完美示范。 对设计师而言，一个住宅案不就迅速效率的施作完成，让业主快快入住，便划上句点，结案!究竟是什么原因让双方愿意如此费时地将空间的探索，从「形而下」提升至「形而上」，而后，再将一切企图藉由空间传达的概念，精练地诉诸具体形式的再现，再次藉由熟悉的材质重新布局。如同「慢活」的概念，这样的来回翻转，虽然时光流逝，却换来迥然不同的空间质地与层次。 「慢磨」的结果，让空间饶富阅读性，而人们也再次因体验空间本质而唤醒深层的感动。 林马克强调，住宅空间涵概许多极为复杂的细节与机能，不是设计师个人的表现场域。设计者更不能逾越本份而忽略了住宅空间的「主体性」。因此，林马克一改玩弄灯光与材质的表现手法，一切回归自然真实的原点，仔细拿捏使用者需求以及机能之间的平衡。透过参与式设计、彼此的沟通，设计者化身为成就业主品味的推手，透过设计连结业主的生活轨迹，从中给予业主所要的。 由于业主是合作过的工程厂商，也是此案的施工单位，于是，此案便在得天独厚的充沛资源条件下，可以从空间角度深化到材质肌理的探触，严谨细腻的施工、精挑细选的材料纹理，最后得以成就设计本身。只稍在空间中稍许停留，你仿佛能感受到时间在空间里的流动，而思绪更如同杜绝了外界喧扰般的宁静非常。透过缓慢，空间找寻到生活的平衡，而你也能以极为舒适放松的自处姿态、一种更好的生活方式，尽情享受属于你的生活点滴。采访」周巽莉 In Praise of Slow “Man born, marry, live and die … everything seems to be in a hurry; crazy is always at the side.”- William Dean Howells, 1907 The above quote is a prologue in “In Praise of Slow”, a book praising the slow rhythm in life that challenges all kind of ideas of speed. Mark Lintott never easily displays his residential designs. This normal sized house design witnessed his devotion and has a tremendous quality of living space design. But it is unthinkable that he has spent three years on it. This house stands in southern Taiwan and is typical of the landscape yet this one is different in both quality and design. Three year's hard work yields not just a structure but an attitude of the quality of life. For Mark and his client, they all appreciate this process of work – from realizing the value of the work to the perfect completion of the design to the careful monitoring of the labor on the construction site. For a typical designer, a design project is just a job that includes budget and time controls and designers are pushed hard to finish the project at the fastest speed. That anyone is willing to spend time to question the idea of design and even look at the value of space is really unthinkable. This project is unique in that both Mark and his client believed that they had to reduce their speed in both thinking and making. Only careful design ideas would enhance quality of design and awake any potential value of the design. Any surface and visible material had to reveal the deepest invisible spirituality. Mark emphasizes that a living space is not a showroom design; it echoes the deepest emotion of its dweller and contains many solutions to intriguing problems from function to detecting their psyche. A residence is a design that should never abandon the essence that links to the idea of “to be dwelled”. Mark's nightclub tactics, famous for style, could not be repeated here so he fixed on solving basic problem of living. Mutual reliance and constant dialogue between the client and himself eventually created a conscious understanding, and this slow process is how the residence takes shape. The client worked with Mark in previously and he even responsible for the construction of his own house. This unprecedented cooperation among designer, builder and client is an advantage assuring a perfect outcome. Well-built with precise detailing is a witness to this successful process. As for the design, its space is an experience of subtle delight, full of nothing but tranquility. It is like a tight chamber rejecting the clamor of the exterior world. Everything seems to be frozen in time and speed, so slow that the fresh body seems to lose momentum but relies only on instinct to live. 设 计 者」Mark Lintott 参 与 者」余芳玮 摄 影 者」Marc Gerrritsen 空间性质」私人住宅 坐落位置」台南市 面 积」100 坪 设计时间」2003年5月至10月 施工时间」2004年5月至2006年4月 Designer」Mark Lintott Participant」F.
