Site concept and feedback

Introduction

    When discussing the site model, I defined the site as two keywords: parasitism and symbiosis. On the one hand, parasitism and symbiosis can effectively summarize the relationship between human traces and changing areas in the site. On the other hand, as a gradually abandoned and changed agricultural area, our site follows the principle of the relationship between artificial facilities and plants. We plan to explore parasitism as a unilateral relationship and symbiosis with mutual benefit to find the relationship between plants and humans in this area.

    In this survey, we asked participants to look for examples that they believe are unidirectional and mutually beneficial to help us understand the reasonable form of architectural and landscape installations on the site and thus provide a reference for future design. In this group work, my main activity was to propose concepts and general frameworks and determine the form of discussion.

Site survey

According to our investigators' feedback, most define symbiotic relationships as artificial devices, such as wooden frames, that provide living space, shape plants, or give a relatively suitable growth environment. This condition often occurs in agricultural areas under cultivation. The wooden frames and other devices used initially for plant cultivation were abandoned and utilized by local plants, resulting in new shaping effects. Similar phenomena have been found in our group's previous findings regarding abandoned walls and other structures. According to the survey results, most people believe that artificial facilities help plants perform more diverse shaping, and such interactive forms are defined as symbiosis, which is relatively more beneficial to the native plants of the site.

    On the other hand, phenomena considered unidirectional parasitic relationships are often characterized by the inability of artificial warehouses or stone steps to provide shaping effects. At the same time, due to human use, the living space of plants is squeezed. Investigators believe that such relationships are not conducive to the growth of local plants and the utilization of the environment, and such relationships are defined as parasitic relationships.

 Conclusion

According to the survey and interviews with local people, the site we have chosen is a changing area located at the junction. Therefore, there are a lot of complex interactions within it. As a reference, how to better coordinate the natural environment with buildings and facilities is a part that we need to consider and investigate. Using facilities to coordinate plant growth and help change the shape and form of plant growth is a topic that we should study. In the following model production, we must consider and transform these to make our survey results helpful for our design.
