慢活 「人出生、結婚、生活、死亡...，一切顯得如此混亂而急切，仿佛隨時都可能發瘋。」~ William Dean Howells，1907 這是「慢活」這本書序言里的第一句話。從慢食概念延伸而來的慢活，是一種在充滿速度感的現代社會里所發起的減速運動。它向各種形式的速度崇拜宣戰，抵抗速度的奴役。 甚少曝光住宅案的設計師林馬克(Mark Lintott)，為了這個住宅案，執行過程一共持續了三年。它的坪數不大，是臺灣中南部經常可以瞧見的透天厝型態，但它卻是一個不折不扣、由慢工細活所打造的空間。它展現了質重于量的特質，進而與人、與生活、與工作、與一切建立真實而有意義的接觸。當然最后的結果也是一種無須贅言的設計體現，甚至是設計與施工兩者結合的完美示范。 對設計師而言，一個住宅案不就迅速效率的施作完成，讓業主快快入住，便劃上句點，結案!究竟是什么原因讓雙方愿意如此費時地將空間的探索，從「形而下」提升至「形而上」，而后，再將一切企圖藉由空間傳達的概念，精練地訴諸具體形式的再現，再次藉由熟悉的材質重新布局。如同「慢活」的概念，這樣的來回翻轉，雖然時光流逝，卻換來迥然不同的空間質地與層次。 「慢磨」的結果，讓空間饒富閱讀性，而人們也再次因體驗空間本質而喚醒深層的感動。 林馬克強調，住宅空間涵概許多極為復雜的細節與機能，不是設計師個人的表現場域。設計者更不能逾越本份而忽略了住宅空間的「主體性」。因此，林馬克一改玩弄燈光與材質的表現手法，一切回歸自然真實的原點，仔細拿捏使用者需求以及機能之間的平衡。透過參與式設計、彼此的溝通，設計者化身為成就業主品味的推手，透過設計連結業主的生活軌跡，從中給予業主所要的。 由于業主是合作過的工程廠商，也是此案的施工單位，于是，此案便在得天獨厚的充沛資源條件下，可以從空間角度深化到材質肌理的探觸，嚴謹細膩的施工、精挑細選的材料紋理，最后得以成就設計本身。只稍在空間中稍許停留，你仿佛能感受到時間在空間里的流動，而思緒更如同杜絕了外界喧擾般的寧靜非常。透過緩慢，空間找尋到生活的平衡，而你也能以極為舒適放松的自處姿態、一種更好的生活方式，盡情享受屬于你的生活點滴。采訪」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. 設 計 者」Mark Lintott 參 與 者」余芳瑋 攝 影 者」Marc Gerrritsen 空間性質」私人住宅 坐落位置」臺南市 面 積」100 坪 設計時間」2003年5月至10月 施工時間」2004年5月至2006年4月 Designer」Mark Lintott Participant」F.
