In a highly urban environment like Hong Kong, young architects progressively lose their physical connection with materials and manual construction skills and rely mostly on computer-aided design software to conceptualise their architectural design projects. This extreme condition exists within a global phenomenon that increasingly confines architecture to its mere scenographic character.
This lecture presents and discusses the use of bamboo as a building material by second-year architecture students from Hong Kong engaged in an international design and build competition with peers from Southeast Asia. Over three consecutive academic years, students were exposed to the rediscovery of an artisanship tradition and the physical properties of bamboo as a construction material. The exercise allowed students to explore tectonics and reposition architecture as a culturally grounded act and art of construction. The experience achieved onsite is significant for the realisation of context-responsive, environmentally sensitive, and culturally orientated forms of architecture.
在香港这样的高度城市化环境中，年轻建筑师逐渐丧失了与建筑材料的物理联系和手工建造技艺，转而主要依赖计算机辅助设计软件来构思建筑项目。这种极端状况存在于一个全球性现象之中——建筑正日益局限于其单纯的场景化特征。
本次汇报通过香港建筑二年级学生参与东南亚同龄人国际设计建造竞赛的实践，探讨竹材作为建筑材料的应用。在连续三个学年中，学生们重新发现了传统手工艺技艺，并深入理解了竹材作为建筑材料的物理特性。这项实践让学生们探索了建筑构造学，将建筑重新定位为植根于文化根基的建造艺术。这种实地体验对于实现响应环境、注重生态、具有文化导向的建筑形式具有重要意义。
